  • bluekatie25 Katie-Louise (@bluekatie25) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi Pete this issue is still not resolved after being promised it would be last Friday. I am now being told it will be another 2 days. This service is simply not good enough and I will never renew with Three again

  • Solutio11Market Truth matters (@Solutio11Market) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @ThreeUK How ******** are you scammers allowed to operate?

  • zoevenditozzi Dr Zoe Venditozzi (@zoevenditozzi) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I’ve opened a complaint and am getting g absolutely nowhere.

  • zoevenditozzi Dr Zoe Venditozzi (@zoevenditozzi) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport On WhatsApp support I’m being told to go to London store. Just spoke to London store and they were clear they can’t help me

  • zoevenditozzi Dr Zoe Venditozzi (@zoevenditozzi) reported

    @ThreeUK can someone please help me? I feel like I’m screaming into the void. Bought two devices whilst in London. 1 arrived. Now being told I have to travel to London to get the other. I live in Scotland.

  • flyn_jal836 راد (@flyn_jal836) reported

    Hi @ThreeUKSupport I’ve emailed multiple times about the 25 June outage. I missed urgent calls + paid £30 redelivery due to your network failure and couldn’t receive urgent calls. Im requesting full compensation for a month. Please respond or escalate this immediately. Thanks

  • rchirag Chir Patel (@rchirag) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @ThreeUK Unfortunately, we cannot even use the chat function on idmobile website to chat with customer service. Chat window doesn’t open..!! shambles.

  • rchirag Chir Patel (@rchirag) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @ThreeUK I am still having issues and me and my wife who are in ID mobile cannot make a phone call when we are at our home address.

  • GordonSMarino Gordon Marino (@GordonSMarino) reported

    If @ThreeUK don't stop sending me a message about their new gaming service, even though I've deleted it about ten times, I'm off to another provider when my contract ends in a few months. I'm not interested in it!!!

  • ApricotHearts 🎂🍰 (@ApricotHearts) reported

    If anyone is looking to upgrade their phone with @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport and are a long term customer, just be warned, they run hard credit checks and will decline you. They no longer have customer loyalty.

  • emmakirton Emma Kirton (@emmakirton) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Did you look at the image I sent you? It had the complaint ref# blacked out

  • emmakirton Emma Kirton (@emmakirton) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport And you are telling me to open a complaint about my complaint. Can I have another solution please or do I need to move my business contract elsewhere. I’ve been a business customer for ~12 years

  • emmakirton Emma Kirton (@emmakirton) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I’ve already done that Maxine, I have a complaint ref#. I spent 1hr on the phone, they kept saying they would get someone to call me, I kept asking how because I have no call service and then they have the audacity to email me to say you can’t get I touch with me!

  • bunntyy nirmal kumar (@bunntyy) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks, but this feels like a generic response rather than an actual look into the issue. The outage has occurred only during working hours, 8am to 4pm, for two weeks straight. That pattern doesn’t feel “unpredictable” — it feels ignored.

  • RklbsFan RklbsFan (@RklbsFan) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Yeah I tried that. It did not go well. Am going to have to migrate them onto a better network. With no updates, they have no phone or Internet and my mum has missed doctor's call because of this. The lack of information is awful. People need to know what is happening.

  • Johnboy6185 John (@Johnboy6185) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport That's just taking me to a digital help page

  • emmakirton Emma Kirton (@emmakirton) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Get someone from the business team to get in touch with me via WhatsApp please, someone who wants to help and won’t just leave mid support

  • emmakirton Emma Kirton (@emmakirton) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I am a business customer

  • sensitivedoors Sagي (@sensitivedoors) reported

    This tweet took a whole minute to send @ThreeUKSupport If you guys merged with Vodafone why is the service not Vodafone level? They said they will give me 50% reduction in termination fee and I asked for legal team email to put a complaint, they didn’t have a legal team? Crazy

  • emmakirton Emma Kirton (@emmakirton) reported

    @ThreeUK you have to be joking if you think I’m going to call you after abandoning WhatsApp chats, closing chats with no response, me spending 1hr explaining that you can’t call me and then you try to call me! Do something that makes sense if you want to keep me as a customer

  • RachT234 RachT234 (@RachT234) reported

    @shelbieyh @ThreeUKSupport it's because they all sold out in minutes - wouldn't be surprised if loads of people had access - o2 customers (their site was messed up) and there was some Lewis fan presale is well. heartbroken because I missed out on accessible tickets by about a minute due to payment issues

  • bunntyy nirmal kumar (@bunntyy) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi John, I do see it on the status page — but as a customer, I expect proactive updates, not to discover outages myself. This has been happening daily for 2 weeks, 8am–5pm. If it’s planned, a clear heads-up or workaround is the least one would expect.

  • bunntyy nirmal kumar (@bunntyy) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Experiencing an unannounced data outage in my area— no warning, no update, no workaround offered. My work depends on a stable connection, and I’m quite certain I’m not the only one impacted. Anyone else having issues? #Outage #CustomerService

  • jsgoldthorpe *** (@jsgoldthorpe) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @ThreeUK Is this still an issue?

  • CheeseToastieSS CheeseToastie (@CheeseToastieSS) reported

    @ThreeUK worst people to have a contract wirh don’t speak English waste your time speak to you like your a idiot everything they do is backwards

  • GAnd944 GrAnd944 (@GAnd944) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Calls either not connecting or sound awful then just disconnect. Not getting calls in, only getting texts saying I'm missing calls. Live in Smethwick. Please advise urgently.

  • garry_dunlop Garry Dunlop (@garry_dunlop) reported

    Tell ya what @ThreeUK have got to be up there with the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced a week of trying to sort an issue then to be laughed at down a phone joke of a company!!
