-
Aston (@4ston420) reported@skunkcityseeds @ThreeUK Bro three playing games with our signal too much now days... They should be paying us to stay with them.
-
•Tushker Gall 🐾 (@Tushker_Gall) reportedwhy don't old people understand that us young folks don't have access to everything on the internet. dad needs a new SIM card but @ThreeUK won't issue one because dad doesn't know his account details.. dad thinks I can just access his emails because "you do the internet"
-
Álvaro Pétrus (@AcgbPetrus) reported@ThreeUK I'm spending some time abroad and I've had problems with my international roaming. I can no longer use my plan; I have absolutely no signal. I need help but haven't been able to get it so far. Can you assist me? The company doesn't seem to care much about its customers.

jimmy (@jimmysunny85) reported@ThreeUK sold me a dodgey phone that now the battery swells and has basically become a bomb! I have told them this since August 2025 so nearly a year and they taking zero responsibility!! This is the customer service they provide as long as you pay them all is well!! Stay clear
-
Keith (@Keith5978673925) reported@ThreeUK When will the tower in Ab11 be fixed? It’s been down for maintenance for 9 weeks now. 2MBPS download speeds just don’t cut it. Ask EE to borrow a competent engineer.
-
Diversions (@diversionsgifts) reported@ThreeUKSupport hi got a new iPad from you on Saturday but no eSIM please help
-
A-I (@Unlucky_Dude2) reported@ThreeUK i have been getting charged by applepay. I have never used applepay and 5 trasactions totalling around £84 in space of 10 mins. I dont own an iphone and have no transactions showing up on my google pay acc on my android phone. What scam is this?
-
Matt Stannard (@mattstannard) reported@ThreeUK - are there any outages in the Ipswich area? Zero 5G service on my phone, and as seems to be the norm across Suffolk the 4G service is flakier than snow. Does the hot weather prevent 4G/5G signals working as well?
-
Sassy (@lyeuhm) reported@stevejh1973 @ThreeUK did you ever get your wifi calling working? mines been out for about two weeks now and nothing i do seems to fix it! it’s infuriating
-
JaxRalph1992 (@JaxRalph1992) reported@ThreeUK I renewed my contract for a one year last year with you guys. Turn off a couple of months maybe realise I cannot wait to leave in September. And jump to @EE . I’ve been with 3uk since 2012 since you joined Vodafone, my signal and 5G have been terrible
-
Aston (@4ston420) reported@skunkcityseeds @ThreeUK Ooh I didn't know they merged with Vodafone 😐 that says alot tbh... They upped my bill not to long ago and I said I was going to leave what not for a better deal.. they didn't offer anything better same plan same signal more money... Make it make sense 🤔 just daylight robbery
-
Andy Co© (@andy_cowburn) reportedWhat’s happened to @ThreeUK service has been terrible for two days now, HD4 area. @ThreeUKSupport
-
karen mardell (@game4897) reported@ThreeUK have done me up like a kipper fuming is an understatement im on holiday in dubai i paid 7 days around the world roaming it never worked so i had to pay them more money £17 for a three day use i was told as i paid 7 day earlier then it will work at least till sat now its off again and they are doing nothing
-
Jim Jones (@smikealfred) reported@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport that’s now over 24hrs our WiFi has been down. Can you provide an update when you expect normal service to resume please ? Old Colwyn, North Wales area
-
Broony (@broony1987) reported@ThreeUKSupport your mobile signal is terrible
-
Rob Welford (@rob_welford) reported@ThreeUK ok,stop *************** before I cancel my direct debit,why haven’t you activated my roaming pass when I’ve still got 70 days left?
-
Kitty Coco (@BambieBambini) reported@ThreeUK Warning for 3 PAYG Users They cut off my service and kept my remaining credit, claiming no chargeable activity for 6 months, despite a recent call I have the logs on my phone to prove. This is the last time they will rob me. I’m switching to another provider.
-
Mark Chappell (@MarkChappe93649) reported@ThreeUK why do you have illogical proceedures that don't allow the account holder, but non phone user, to cancel the contract when have passed security validation but not have access to a passcode? Seems like deliberate contract frustration to enforce additional charges @Ofcom
-
SG (@Saurav) reported@ThreeUKSupport Absolutely awful service. Signed a new contract and your bill has come for triple the amount. I've been told by your agent he will fix the bill, over a month later nothing! Now he is ignoring all emails. And one of my lines is facing connectivity issues! AWFUL!
-
ARDA BATIKAN DURGUT (@durgut_arda1) reportedI've been using @ThreeUK for a long time and was usually happy with it, but for the last two days the internet has been incredibly bad... It's almost completely unresponsive. It's really disappointing that it's this bad in London. @ThreeUKSupport
-
Glenn Smith (@gupster) reported@ThreeUK FYI network outage in Ta178tg after a power outage. Signal showing but not data connection.
-
Steve Kelley (@djstevekelley) reported@ThreeUKSupport Internet issues in MK4?
-
Mattea∞ (@ebuuuun) reported@ThreeUK helloooo, why haven’t I had service since 7pm???
-
Wyn Morgan (@wynmorgan) reported@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport seems we’re going to be without a signal for a second week as you’re still working on your mast. Surely you’ve had time to install a new mast in that time?
-
Tristan Lane (@Tristan27856485) reported@ThreeUK @VodafoneUK I thought the merger was meant to improve signal. Not make it blooming worse. Cambridge is meant to be “silicon fen” tricky with such terrible network
-
Tom (@zappomatic) reportedSoho is absolutely dead tonight. So why am I unable to use my @ThreeUKSupport data? I always put it down to the place being busy but clearly something is wrong.
-
Dripping Tap (@tapdripping) reported@ThreeUK I’m in Burry Port SA16 0RS There is zero mobile signal either 4G or 5G Can you advise when it will be restored?
