Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
LovinTruth (@LuvSeekinTruth) reported@ThreeUKSupport What kind of provider has online chat and the chat agent ends the conversation because they can't deal with the problem and then makes sure the transcript is blank? Three guesses?
-
Ronald (@ronaldlangeveld) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK I just changed my plan to prepaid, keep roaming on, doesn't even have credit on but usually as long as its connected to a network its good and I can still receive texts.
-
Matt🦻 (@Matts_Tweeting) reportedterrible signal service since @ThreeUK and @VodafoneUK merged. all networks have been crap with 5g never working and 4g being downgraded but this is ridiculous. signal checkers always say its fine. @SMARTYMobileUK uses 3 and i can't ever use what i pay for. #smartymobile
-
niko (@alienLDN) reported@ThreeUK so I asked you to cancel my contract as it comes to an end and you haven’t done it just to screw more money out of me. Shame on you I will never be your customer again
-
Jonathan 🇺🇦 (@GayToryJon) reportedI think next time I’m arranging an upgrade of my mobile phone contract before I commit to a new one with @ThreeUK I will check which courier company they’re using for the delivery. If it’s @dpduk_ I will probably look elsewhere after the issues the last 2 times.
-
You Can Call Me Honey (@babylonlover29) reported@ThreeUK you have the WORST customer support personnels EVER!
-
fox (@FoxRunTime) reported@applemusic when @threeuk has bad service (always) this is not permission to randomly skip songs while they're buffering
-
🕹️ EᑎGᗩGEᔕᗷᖇᗩIᑎ 🎮 (@EngagesBrain) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Does your phone support eSIM? If so, no need to wait for one to arrive in the post.
-
Rosie Adams (@romanysands) reported@andrejpwalker @paramountplus @ThreeUK Never mind THAT! Are you OK?!🙏
-
Gouthaman (@gmanka) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Continuing to charge you monthly and not giving you service is unconscionable. I’ve kept my US number from Mint Mobile active while not living there for 5 years, with only yearly visits, and it still works.
-
Steve Lacey 🔥 (@stevelacey) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Also you consider getting a Google Voice US number for actual serious things that support it, aka everything non-UK
-
Zoe Martinez (@zoemartipulse) reported@DavidCl88428325 @ThreeUKSupport the network choosing unemployment again
-
DAVID GREGORY KERR (@grego76525) reported@ThreeUKSupport it is like a nightmare when cards have to be updated and details have to be passed to service providers but I hope this solves any problems
-
Grant | Dev (@grantdotdev) reported@Carlz94x @ThreeUK They’re supposed to be **** hot since Vodafone bought them ! “Forming the largest uk network” my ***. I don’t get why my phone says 4/5G and 4 bars but can’t send an iMessage. ?!
-
Vocsolo (@Vocsolo) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Also, they cancel it if you’re inactive , so when you do get a physical sim and abroad, make sure to make some phone calls like once a month
-
f (@bread_bread5) reported@ThreeUK changing the Caffè Nero code to £2 was my last straw I will be changing phone providers now. The coverage is awful, coffee was the only good thing left about you
-
Tiago Sá (@tedmirra) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK I thought about building somthing related to this. Would you pay for a service where you could have a Sim card online? To send / receive sms.
-
Kira (@_itzkira) reportedYo @ThreeUK please go sort your 5G out, it's down in parts of NG17 and is stuck on 4G - meanwhile your website states "Our systems haven't reported any network problems" And no, it's not because of my location, I use 5G in my house every day, it's cheaper than any ISP...
-
Mike Baldwin (@Ralph_Hapschatt) reportedIf someone phones you pretending to be from @ThreeUK, asking you to read them a one time pass code, two them to **** off.
-
Steve (@SteveMeek82) reported@ThreeUKSupport Sudden issues in WR3, next to zero connectivity with latency at 2.5 - 3.8 seconds. What’s happening?
-
🏴🍉 Jade 🇵🇸 (@JadeThinksALot) reported@Threeuk can barely load up my bus ticket in the city centre never mind doubling the price of the Caffè Nero reward and expecting that to load up in time to purchase. If only companies focused on improving their services before taking away the perks.
-
Martin Adams | Building Flowtelic (@Martin_Adams) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Oh no, I found a service you can port your UK number to which maps it to a voip, specifically for this issue. Haven’t done it yet, but plan to.
-
delwyn hawkins (@desmoderby) reported@ThreeUK Really pi**ed today. Buy European roaming as an extension to our contact with you. Approaching Verona no signal for 90min which meant no navigation around 2 serious accidents. Fortunately we have driven to where we were going in Verona before. Nowhere good enough.
-
David McKean (@keanie14) reportedYour solution is to send me a link to a chat which won’t open. Any chance someone can just call me to sort this?! @threeuk
-
Rula Abdelrazek (@rularulz) reported@ThreeUK has worst service and reception! Terrible and not worth the money!
-
LeeBee 🐝 (@leeb_com) reported@ThreeUKSupport are you experiencing signal issues in Reading? It’s been awful in areas for days, particularly at my gym in Mapledurham where it’s always strong! Yet only 1 bar 4g!
-
Mahégal (@Dalanamz) reportedI've messaged several times to cancel and still nothing has been done @ThreeUKSupport
-
Whisperity (@whisperity) reported@IMAC2 @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Check if your provider supports VoWiFi, and enable it for your number if you haven't already. Go into airplane mode. Enable VoWiFi, and connect to a WiFi network. Wait a few minutes for your phone to authenticate over the Internet into your home company's core network.
-
Paul Onky (@CGarboid) reported@ThreeUKSupport having big issues with people calling me. I can’t have issues as I have a crt-d (defibrillator) fitted and need my phone to be able to receive calls. Not receiving calls and 5g signal but I don’t get the calls.
-
longboidan (@longboidan) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Been roaming with o2 for 1.5 years straight so far and no issue yet 🤞
