  • 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 📲

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @ThreeUK 3G not working in Newcastle!

  • 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

  • _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

  • 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 👍🏼

  • 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

  • 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.....

  • _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.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Unusable signal in NE2 😭😭

  • 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.

    @ThreeUKSupport He was young ,rude ,insolent, unempathetic ,dismissive and very arrogant ,I needn't say more !

  • netmnp Bernie (@netmnp) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Is this a Three number: 0333 338 1063. It calls me every single day since I enquired about some Three service but nobody on the other end.

  • crypto_caesar1 Crypto Caesar (@crypto_caesar1) reported

    My phone company @ThreeUK are trying to charge me £19 per minute to call Gibraltar 🇬🇮 from UK 🇬🇧? WTF?!?

  • _macca_pacca Macaulay (@_macca_pacca) reported

    @scook2003 @ThreeUKSupport @jadesharp1992 It’s frustrating there’s still now Apple Watch support after all this time but they do have the best 5G network out there so I won’t grumble too much, I can get by with the Wi-fi version of the watch

  • donw95 Bryan Dada (@donw95) reported

    @ThreeUK the most appalling service received at 48 North End road just now with the total disregard for customers!!! The manager of the store seems to actually spearhead this act!!! He totally refused to listen to me after I advised him I was sold the wrong colour of phones!!!

  • SohebH93 ゼベディ (@SohebH93) reported

    Been with @VodafoneUK @VodafoneGroup for 12+ years, bought numerous family/friends to Vodafone, had multiple lines and broadband. On Tuesday I called to upgrade but the best tariff offered was nowhere near @ThreeUK. Disappointed to be leaving w/such poor offer from retentions.

  • Lizzie_Psych Lizzie Collins (@Lizzie_Psych) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport hello, I currently have a 3 PAYG sim. Is it possible to directly upgrade to a pay-monthly contract without changing the sim card? I want to keep my number and not faff with waiting days for a changeover as it's the same network...

  • Sabrina_12345 Sabrina (@Sabrina_12345) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I was told I’d receive it last night over chat within two hours and it never arrived. I was told again this morning that it’d arrive but wasn’t given a specific time despite me asking numerous times this morning when it will arrive. I said I’m not happy to close the chat option u

  • JuanitoLiteral Juanito “el Literal” #PARODIA (@JuanitoLiteral) reported

    @Ipunchedalion @tgcalabaca @ThreeUK There are a few providers that remain untouched, but yeah… i guess it’s a matter of time that they all reintroduce roaming charges. Three network is really poor in UK and its main attractive was the ‘feel at home’,which they are now stopping, so… no motivation to stay with them

  • lnoormohamed 𝙇𝙞 𝙉𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙙 (@lnoormohamed) reported

    So I just took out a @ThreeUK contract. Will cancel it. Take a look at the comparison between @O2 👇👇
