Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CDesborough CDes (@CDesborough) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @al_quaker "It also means only those who roam will pay for the service, rather than customers who stay in the UK also absorbing this cost." - You going to put the cost of contracts down then for those not going abroad? Thought not.

  • MisterJamie TherealMandalorian (@MisterJamie) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @DannyB648 Does that mean all your new contracts are going down to reflect the fact the inclusive roaming charges are now only being paid for by customers using it?

  • SeasideChris Chris McStill (@SeasideChris) reported

    @TomTalksCars @ThreeUK Yup. I put up with pretty poor coverage in some areas because of it. No point in staying now.

  • MrMatRead Mat Read (@MrMatRead) reported

    @ThreeUK when were you planning to tell us you were scrapping Go Roam? I’ve been with you a long time now and honestly, you’re gradually taking the things away that made you stand out, that made you unique. You’ve lost what made you you. Poor form guys 🙁

  • scottishben Ben Philip (@scottishben) reported

    Disappointed to see @ThreeUK announce the end of Go Roam. Was a great service and the major factor in consistently re-contracting. No problem for them if everyone else caves I suppose but @O2 and @SkyUK Mobile looking like better options right now

  • robbiec54321 Robert Cummings (@robbiec54321) reported

    @threeuksupport Hi, I upgraded from a 30 day rolling SIM plan to a 24 month SIM plan to lock in a cheaper rate before the 1st Oct roaming deadline. Does the 14 day cooling off period for contracts apply to online upgrades should I decide to switch to another network?

  • londonjakewills Jake Williams (@londonjakewills) reported

    Good bye @ThreeUK as I will be leaving as soon as my contract is up. I signed up for a mobile contract with you due to your feel attached home mobile service. It’s awful to hear you are now charging people to roam in europe for £2 a day and £5 elsewhere! That’s disgusting.

  • AndrewBendall Andrew_B (@AndrewBendall) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @CmdrSpace Ill explain it for you, greed. And i know your just a guy behind a screen, but pass the message up the chain, im sure three will loose business quickly enough with this change. Service is bad enough, roaming just offset it.

  • RobertLoblaugh Bob Loblaw ⭐️⭐️ (@RobertLoblaugh) reported

    @SkyNews I remember when @ThreeUK *PROMISED* in no uncertain terms that they would never, ever, EVER do this, ever. If I hadn’t already left them for other reasons, I would be doing now.

  • bigdavetrigg David Trigg (@bigdavetrigg) reported

    @Thomas_Goodearl @ThreeUK Was the only reason I never shopped around. Can see me going elsewhere now.

  • andy_bradshaw1 Andy Bradshaw (@andy_bradshaw1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport If on a rolling monthly SIM only plan will the new roaming charges effect me. Also will the new costs mean faster data when abroad. Don't mind paying if it means improved service.

  • JBrianGreenwood Brian Greenwood (@JBrianGreenwood) reported

    @ThreeUK so disappointed by your roaming charge announcement. Been a customer for 10 years and now will have to go elsewhere.

  • markblue777 markblue777 (@markblue777) reported

    @jdale88 @ThreeUK Sucks. I think giffgaff still offer it.

  • MrMatRead Mat Read (@MrMatRead) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport when were you planning to tell us you were scrapping Go Roam? I’ve been with you a long time now and honestly, you’re gradually taking the things away that made you stand out, that made you unique. You’ve lost what made you you. Poor form guys 🙁

  • TeamPenster SamuEL Penster Gaming in the Multiverse (@TeamPenster) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @GazTheJourno It would take you more than a month to plan for this, so why did you offer incorrect information a month ago? Previous tweets stated you would NEVER reintroduce roaming fees.

  • LiamJRichner Liam Richner (@LiamJRichner) reported

    @Thomasnorris1 @SkyNews @ThreeUK Vodafone doing the same thing. 02 only network I can see that aren't bringing back charges..

  • b3njaminben ben (@b3njaminben) reported from Leeds, England

    what ******** @ThreeUK ending international roaming?? hope whoever’s dumb idea that was DIES! the cheek of it honestly

  • hardaker17 karenhardaker (@hardaker17) reported

    @ThreeUK account 9824441761 this contact ended in August so I cancel the direct debit . I no longer have use of this service and have for a long time brian hardaker

  • Thomas_Goodearl Thomas Goodearl (@Thomas_Goodearl) reported

    @bigdavetrigg @ThreeUK Problem is no one other than O2 are offering it. Hopefully in a year in will change.

  • richyj1504 Rich J (@richyj1504) reported

    @jtd1010 @ThreeUK Weirdest thing is that I moved to EE from Three as they said they had better coverage. Signal does seem a lot better but I’m always having problems using data even on full signal 4G. I rather have poor signal but data that works every time you use it that I had with Three.

  • burnsy171285 Martin Redman (@burnsy171285) reported

    @danbond @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK Agree with Daniel- it is suggestive those on rolling contracts could continue to benefit. Can you confirm either way? Could be another decade plus customer on their way out…

  • DarrenRufford Darren Rufford (@DarrenRufford) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @ledow2 It’s still false advertising, your **** excuse does not change that.

  • nettymartin Martin McDonald 💙 (@nettymartin) reported

    @zsk Lack of roaming charges used to be the unique selling point of @ThreeUK you would have thought they would have baulked the chance to levy these charges. I wonder what actual costs the phone companies occur when a customer 'roams'?

  • jtd1010 James (@jtd1010) reported

    @richyj1504 @ThreeUK Their coverage is AWFUL! I was with them for years and years, moved to Vodafone and i was SHOOK! My phone was faster and you get coverage in places Three never could.

  • DeakonBuck 🌸𝒟𝑒𝒶𝓀𝑜𝓃 🌸(💉💉) (@DeakonBuck) reported

    @Draegarth @ThreeUK Just need one company to just say we're never gonna do it and Reap in all the new customer base

  • 4DegreesWest Anthony (@4DegreesWest) reported

    @from_hastings @ThreeUK @EE Do you need some help closing your Three accounts, to go elsewhere now? Might not be many carriers left at this rate...

  • NiallScott Niall Scott 🇪🇺 (@NiallScott) reported

    Given the @ThreeUK news today, I might consider changing mobile network when my contract renewal comes around.

  • Adam_Smith_PHD Adam Smith (@Adam_Smith_PHD) reported

    @BWallArthur @ThreeUK 17.4 UK citizens voted Leave. They just didn't realise it meant their phone network.

  • KevinGSWatt Kevin Watt (@KevinGSWatt) reported

    @ThreeUK now planning ditch #GoRoam, the one thing that kept me loyal is going. Been a three customer for over ten years it's a sad day.

  • FretwellCrump Fretwell (@FretwellCrump) reported

    @oxfordteddy @ThreeUK @SMARTYMobileUK They said it’s only if there’s an upgrade to your contract, but haven’t said exactly what would constitute an upgrade - think a lot of us are going to find ourselves upgraded where there’s no material change (different stationery etc.) - and yeah, the 3 signal is pretty poor
