  • andrewkane80 Andy Kane (@andrewkane80) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK just to let you guys know. Been told I still can't cancel my contract as you have to raise an issue again about first order (for 3rd time) which will take another 48hrs. Appalling service. Can't wait to cancel my second account

  • andrewkane80 Andy Kane (@andrewkane80) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK Terrible service when trying to upgrade phone. Placed order on 16th January for delivery 26th January. Still no phone, waited for issue to be resolved before trying again, but still can't be done.....

  • japredchiu japred chiu (@japredchiu) reported from South Shields, England

    @ThreeUK please hear me. I called your customer service coz I have been receiving 2-3 mbps. This is far what u promise 25-35. I never had this speed. They told me to use the chat options rather than call. Still no answer. I queue on your store for almost 2 hours to solve this but

  • SocialHermitCal 'Camerado' Cal Desmond-Pearson (The Social Hermit) (@SocialHermitCal) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Hello @ThreeUK, as a long time customer, I sincerely hope that you guys are not planning to advertise on GB News at any point. #DontFundGBNews

  • gloriasibz GLORY. (@gloriasibz) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUKSupport I’m actually so annoyed and the service I’ve received in the past month or has been absolutely atrocious. If anyone is thinking of joining 3 network please don’t they’re a joke who rip off their customers and the service is a joke!

  • ShxdowHerondale Rachel Eleanore Wright (@ShxdowHerondale) reported from Seaton Delaval, England

    @ThreeUK can you fix this internet connection please in Whitley Bay area, the connection is so bad I cant even use my 4G data 🤯🤬

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

    @ThreeUKSupport is the app and my3 service down? I am unable to access either.

  • andyb7274 Andy Brown (@andyb7274) reported from Bedlington, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Ok, but how will that fix the website reporting the same ?

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Hello, any idea how long the works are going on for in NE25 0JF as I’ve had rubbish signal for days? I only have 3 mobile and broadband at home, so I’ve been severely affected by this. Websites don’t load properly and streaming is like being back on dialup.

  • CannyDeku CannyDeku (@CannyDeku) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    2nd day of limited internet service in NE262JF area @ThreeUKSupport any updates on this? Soons I move into ne25 area it’s back to its usual self but that’s 10 min drive away.

  • davidmellstrom David Mellstrom (@davidmellstrom) reported from Morpeth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Pretty much anywhere indoors! I live in a ground floor flat at NE26 2RG and I have to have my phone on a windowsill to get even 1 bar of signal.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @rutty_uk @ThreeUK Cheers, some decent plans/prices there. Was always a bit concerned about them not having a help number but I think most networks do it all on social media anyway.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUKSupport That’s not working, says please try later. These issues having been going on all week, how much longer are they going on for? My internet access is barely useable.

  • gloriasibz GLORY. (@gloriasibz) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK I understand the circumstances that are going on right now, it’s already difficult not being able to speak to an advisor over the phone. You can’t be dismissing a customer when they’ve contacted for help.

  • DezyByers33 Dezy Ward (@DezyByers33) reported from Washington, England

    @ThreeUK service is appalling like.... i ring you up told to i have to go 20 mile to the nearest shop. Get there and your systems are down. Waste of journey and time

  • gloriasibz GLORY. (@gloriasibz) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK honestly I’m tired of your customer advisors transferring me to complaints when I have not suggested that I want to speak to complaints team. The queue wait is absolutely ridiculous to begin with. They should be able to try and resolve the solution first

  • Colins_kitten Julie 'Jules' Walker (@Colins_kitten) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUK your app is busted and has been for weeks now! Forgotten password and it says it has sent an email or text and I never get one. Have tried 6 or 7 times now. Your live chat doesn't work on the app either. Not impressed!! May leave for a company that can make a working ap

  • andrewkane80 Andy Kane (@andrewkane80) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Jesus wept, I can't even cancel the contract as you are currently trying to figure out, again, why the first order didn't work. Hopeless

  • ChristinaCarty_ Christina Carty (@ChristinaCarty_) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Or they could call dpd, say “we gave you the wrong address, here is the right one, please deliver the router to the poor eegits who bought wifi from us”

  • josw2712 John Oswald (@josw2712) reported

    Customer service is obviously a foreign concept to @ThreeUK . I have 2 mobile phone contracts and a mobile internet contract with them and none will be renewed. 😤😤

  • HistorianLaura Laura Brennan MA 💙 (@HistorianLaura) reported

    @ThreeUK is there a glitch in your data signal in Berkshire. Very slow and clunky today

  • markkinga Mark King (@markkinga) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport What is the point of complaining clearly if you send a message like that then it’s not about customer service is it? When is it going to be sorted is the question not answered and what is being done to stop this continually happening or do I take my business elsewhere?

  • CarolineNB Caroline Bridger (@CarolineNB) reported

    @ThreeUK coverage has been terrible for over a week. I know you’re doing work on a mast but how do I find out when it’ll return to normal?

  • Dan_Gardner_ Dan Gardner (@Dan_Gardner_) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi Jacq, it's fine in the evenings when they've finished for the day. But as @VJOsgood said this is several weeks of paying for a service that I can barely use. No sms warning at the start of works, just drops from full 5G to nothing. May as well dig out my old 56k modem.

  • Nazi32449355 Nazi (@Nazi32449355) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I have been with 3 for 8 years and only last year I have been having issues and never got sorted and I am paying £55 and plus add on every 2 or 3 months as my data runs out so quick and Three's never been able to resolve

  • alexrefuses Alexandra S. (@alexrefuses) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi! I’m trying to cancel an add-on. I got a text from Three saying that it’s been cancelled, and then another text about an hour later saying that cancellation has failed.

  • Bobandbobbin Bob Bobberson (@Bobandbobbin) reported

    @ThreeUK - darlings, what on earth is going on with your service in GRJ39P. Signal swaps from 1bar 3G to none to 3bar 4g to none. Completely unusable…

  • Bobandbobbin Bob Bobberson (@Bobandbobbin) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport My bad - it’s actually NW6 5RS - device is iPhone 6s+, latest iOS. There’s a plethora of people here having the same issues. Constant dropping of signal. Heavily congested towers?
