  • 1Jonesey ReeJones (@1Jonesey) reported

    @ThreeUK I've suffered network issues all week and as a result struggled to make phone calls. I'm still struggling to make calls and have been told network issues will be ongoing till 17 March. It's mother's Day, and I've not been able to speak to my mum. Not very happy three!

  • _Suzieee_ Suzie Wallace (@_Suzieee_) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I was assured by one member of customer service yesterday that it would definitely be done today and she would phone me by 3pm today to confirm. I never heard back. I chose to stick with 3 instead of moving to another PAYG network, but I’m starting to regret this decision!

  • CrayZee7 Amish (@CrayZee7) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport It happens in many areas on the M4 on the way to Reading from LHR and in Wembley too. I'm sure other areas are affected. The only fix I can think of is to not allow 5g connection but what's the point? This has been happening for months.

  • MichelleOwenWi1 Michelle Owen-Williams (@MichelleOwenWi1) reported

    @ThreeUK worst customer service in the world. Took £700 out of my account, even after 6 phone calls/live chats to sort it out. Four weeks it's taken to sort it out and you have the audacity to offer me £20 compensation when u spend thousands on sponsoring @ChelseaFC & (1)

  • JoshuaW16875505 Joshua Walker (@JoshuaW16875505) reported

    @ThreeUK A result of mouthers day is they have to take their app down all weekend so customers can't text other family members.

  • CrayZee7 Amish (@CrayZee7) reported

    @ThreeUK seriously frustrated with your service. Since the 5G roll out my phone doesn't always know where it is when using Waze/Google maps as it's trying to go from 4g to 5g and back. Honestly it's a joke when you can't rely on your service to give accurate navigation...

  • GamerGirl_Kitty Acid Kitty (@GamerGirl_Kitty) reported

    Bloody @ThreeUK - the mobile network that cannot be trusted!

  • FlappyBerk Christian (@FlappyBerk) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport If it's not too much to ask, can you please reply to my last two tweets instead of ignoring them? Your technical support livechat is solely interested in hard selling me additional contracts (where their English suddenly improves) rather then helping.

  • yasirnkiani yasir kiani (@yasirnkiani) reported

    @ThreeUK very upset at the treatment of a long standing customer who has bought over family members to 3! Seriously will be moving all my members and friends away from ThreeUK!

  • CrayZee7 Amish (@CrayZee7) reported

    @ThreeUK It happens in many areas on the M4 on the way to Reading from LHR and in Wembley too. I'm sure other areas are affected. The only fix I can think of is to not allow 5g connection but what's the point? This has been happening for months. Deleted the previous tweet

  • FreakOutITGeek Steven Fulton (@FreakOutITGeek) reported

    @ThreeUK When are you going to finally fix the ML6 area? Signal has been down over a week now.

  • ExpatKatUK Kat (@ExpatKatUK) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Is there any other way to top up the SIM while the site is down? Have run out of data.

  • ghostraccoon87 GR87 (@ghostraccoon87) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Yes and yes. It's clearly a fault in the network to make people think they have 4g connectivity when they don't.

  • JoshuaW16875505 Joshua Walker (@JoshuaW16875505) reported

    @1Jonesey @ThreeUK If I was you I would switch to a different network. Their customer service is awful

  • mullers72 Phil Mullin (@mullers72) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    So having just bought a @ThreeUKSupport PAYG SIM for my son as he's lost his phone, I can't register it online as it's down for technical maintenance but call the 0800 number. That's closed too. How do I get him sorted for school tomorrow? #Threeuk

  • GamerGirl_Kitty Acid Kitty (@GamerGirl_Kitty) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Perhaps I should have been more specific, three as a company I don’t have an issue with. But when a representative gives me the wrong information and something serious occurs because of that, then it certainly makes three as a company look bad!

  • CrayZee7 Amish (@CrayZee7) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Prior to 5g I used 4g mainly without problems. It does get frustrating when it happens this much. I believe I have had my sim card for 4 yrs or more. 5g is only a problem when moving around like driving or cycling as it won't give an accurate location and switches between 5 & 4g.

  • MichelleOwenWi1 Michelle Owen-Williams (@MichelleOwenWi1) reported

    @ThreeUK you were giving away hospitality boxes free to press with fully signed shirts for the Conti Cup yesterday. I have been a customer of yours for TEN years and this is how I get treated. Left hand doesn't know what the right is doing, utter shambles....

  • benvolante Ben (@benvolante) reported

    For a company who pride themselves on the best data network @ThreeUK ‘4G Super Voice’ is utterly useless. Roll on November when my contract ends 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

  • georgedemenezes George de Menezes (@georgedemenezes) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Restarted phone 3 times this morning and nothing came back, there are signal bars just no 3/4g

  • jackiehallybur1 jackiehallyburton (@jackiehallybur1) reported

    What a shambles of a company @ThreeUK are. Trying to cancel a phone contract that hasn’t been used in over a year and a half , 3 months and hours and hours on the phone still not resolved , worst customer care I have ever experienced! Ridiculous!!

  • LouiseOconnel18 Louise Oconnell (@LouiseOconnel18) reported

    @ThreeUK I was told a manager would call me back regarding my complaint within 24 hours on Saturday yet again I await that call 😡😡😡

  • ExpatKatUK Kat (@ExpatKatUK) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I'm trying to top up a SIM that has run out of data and it's saying the app and website are down. It has been like this all day. Any idea when it'll be fixed?

  • georgedemenezes George de Menezes (@georgedemenezes) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport network down in central London?? Had no 3/4g since 8am this morning?

  • JackWinstanley Jack Potter (@JackWinstanley) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport are you having issues in M27? Both @Sammiwilko89 and I are having issues with our internet. Same yesterday but seems a lot worse today. #Three #3Mobile #ThreeMobile

  • _Suzieee_ Suzie Wallace (@_Suzieee_) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport transferring my number across from PAYG to pay monthly, a short process takes about 3 hours. Over 48 hours later, my original sim (which I was recommended to keep using) has been disconnected but my number has not moved 😡 not impressed with the service

  • power_of_h Horatio (@power_of_h) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK how comes you don’t support apple watches? And esims?

  • erlistens Nev_erlistens (@erlistens) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK hi I’m trying to log in to the website to change my Wi-fi contract but it says my passwords are different. They’re not! I’ve tried loads of different ones, please help!

  • jackiehallybur1 jackiehallyburton (@jackiehallybur1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Up over 5 years ago they could not do anything for me and the adviceI was given was ... call back when you remember it !! Shocking service !!

  • CrayZee7 Amish (@CrayZee7) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport It happens in many areas on the Ma4 on the way to Reading from LHR and in Wembley too. I'm sure other areas are affected. The only fix I can think of is to not allow 5g connection but what's the point? This has been happening for months.
