  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport If we do.. I don't expect whoever we speak to to go and and on...i want John to have the right to cancel as soon as he requests to cancel. I phone him twice a day to make sure he is ok...he is the closest thing to me after my mother, my children and my sister.

  • _MartinDean Martin Dean (@_MartinDean) reported from Blyth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Hello SI that’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking if you are going to sell any variants of a phone you are already selling. I know it’s easy to hit the auto reply option but it’s not great customer service.

  • _MartinDean Martin Dean (@_MartinDean) reported from Blyth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport That's good then I was about to pop into a three store as I thought it was a problem with my sim card. Any ETA ok when this will be fixed and I'm guessing we are getting refunds/extra time to our subscriptions

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I've just phoned India again to try to cancel my Godfathers contract...i ended the call as they are once again passing me from pillow to post...its once again stressing my elderly Godfather out...its making him ill...i can find that UK link you give me.

  • IanBirch1978 Ian Birch (@IanBirch1978) reported from Cramlington, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi just recieved this , i changed my sim only deal from the one i took out in store to a better deal via customer services , there is no device to return

  • alltimeanja AJU - 🌵 (@alltimeanja) reported from Seaham, England

    Can't wait to complain about this @ThreeUKSupport just had to buy a bus ticket cos your shitty service wouldn't load my month pass on my phone. Ahhhh what a waste man

  • basherdrummer Barry B. (@basherdrummer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @SteveBlythe @ThreeUKSupport They couldn’t even be arsed replying! @ThreeUK must be the worst network for data speed, my days are numbered with them.....

  • debbieskywalker Debbie (@debbieskywalker) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Time to change my sim deal and I have to say @VodafoneUK you have had me as a valued customer for years but are nowhere near matching what @ThreeUK have offered! A tenner a month for unlimited everything! #HelloThree

  • leesmith_94 Lee Smith 🏳️‍🌈 (@leesmith_94) reported from Longbenton, England

    @ThreeUKSupport This isn’t good enough, I don’t pay to have no service so bad! I need to raise a complaint about this

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport He wants to cancel... What he has been saying for over a week now...there is no option now.

  • JackLegind JL (@JackLegind) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport can’t update DD details online. Go onto app and says I can’t do it. Chat support is useless and takes 2 hours. Go into store and ask - told they can’t help but use have to use app, me: “that’s shite as well” “I know” cheers then 👍🏼

  • Funstie Jonathan Peat (@Funstie) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @ThreeUK 3G not working in Newcastle!

  • fionaw24 Fiona Wilson (@fionaw24) reported from Blyth, England

    @ThreeUK strange network issues, as my phone is randomly sending old texts to people..causing some problems in my household 😡

  • djmckee Dylan McKee (@djmckee) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Unusable signal in NE2 😭😭

  • Whitby_Born 🎶🌸ⓈⓉⒺⓋⒺ🌸🎶 (@Whitby_Born) reported from South Shields, England

    @Heidi_LFC9 @ThreeUK @EE I'm paying £57 month on 3 for my Samsung S10+ and it's a 2 year plan. I'll have enough to pay off the remaining 15 months in one go soon and I'll swap to EE. I've never had 3 add to my bills when on Unlimited.

  • Stoddy75 Andrew 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺Ⓥ (@Stoddy75) reported from Seaton Delaval, England

    Hello @ThreeUK There seems to be network issues in the NE25 0JF area, very poor signal strength on both 3G and 4G.

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport That's what I've had to do...i don't want no nonsense once I take over or I will hang up and take the @Ofcom route. I think to make it even easier is that there is an attachment on John's file that there is only one thing we need and that is cancellation of the contract.

  • basherdrummer Barry B. (@basherdrummer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Someone just passed me on the platform deep down underground on the Newcastle @My_Metro talking on their phone - I struggle to get a worthy @ThreeUK signal up on street level here let alone underground! #ImOnTheWrongNetwork 📲

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I got it connected to my Xbox but it couldn't update... It connected to my phone but its right slow. My Godfather is away atm. Can he cancel...i fear this will be a total waste of money for him with being a pensioner.

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUK thank you...you make it impossible to cancel. You are a disgrace...after phoning India for my elderly Godfather to cancel the 18 month plug in 4g wifi that could hit any speeds we were past from pillow to post by India call centre workers. I had to hang up #threenetwork

    @ThreeUKSupport Can't make calls in UB10 but your network status says everything is ok. Can you please update.

  • Sawah25 Sawah★ (@Sawah25) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport think there is an outage around Lowestoft area as can’t receive any phone calls or call other 3 mobiles, which is a problem when your whole family is on 3!

  • BrettHadley42 Brett Hadley (@BrettHadley42) reported from Rotherham, England

    Hey @ThreeUK - Why can nobody ring me? Everything works fine from my end and I’ve no issues with signal or my phone but if someone tries ringing me? It won’t connect. Odd.

  • velobetty Elisabeth Anderson 💙 (@velobetty) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi, is it possible to speak to anybody who understands 5G networks and who isn't going to ask me to reboot my router please? Even via email? I need help diagnosing 5G service issues.

  • velobetty Elisabeth Anderson 💙 (@velobetty) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport This is actually starting to drive me a bit spare. Last Sunday and Monday and now today I'm getting sporadic issues connecting to web pages while some load quickly. I need to speak to somebody who knows what they're talking about! Please!

  • _DevinaP 'Devina (@_DevinaP) reported

    Is @ThreeUK coverage down?

  • waldofez Waldo, Hands - Face- Space .....The Final Frontier (@waldofez) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport why is your Broadband service so unreliable in the SG1 area ? Great concept rubbish service ! The last 48 hrs it just keeps dropping out .I expect you will tell me you see no issues as you usually do but there is plainly an issue !

  • AngelaM2179 Angela MacKenzie (@AngelaM2179) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Just spoke to the amazing Alison (from Glasgow) in the Social Media Customer Service team who hopefully has resolved all the issues that normal Customer Services failed at ... repeatedly ... since 22/11/20. Now know which team to contact first should there be a next time!

  • Lloydjames84 Lloyd James (@Lloydjames84) reported

    @ThreeUK your network seems to be affected in SA7. Me and my wife @bethy_boop16 can’t call out or receive calls.

  • BoabWhyte1 Boab Whyte (@BoabWhyte1) reported

    @lynne_thomson2 @O2 @ThreeUK Could just be the weather where you are and the fact my house is at the top of a hill. Although I would expect your signal to be intermittent if that was the reason and not just completely out of service.
