    @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

  • stobbsmeister
    Paddy (@stobbsmeister) reported from Seaham, England

    @ThreeUK counting down the days until I'm able to leave. I've overlooked the poor CS and data dead spots however the reintroduction of roaming charges (after banging the go roam drum for years) is the final straw. I'm sure I won't be the first or the last to jump to @O2

    Tom (@Icypixel) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I've been traveling to Newcastle for work over the last 12 or so months and the signal in the centre of Newcastle has been constantly poor, slow/non existent mobile internet. Any plans to upgrade the signal in Newcastle? (& Leeds city whilst we're here)

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

    @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.

    @ThreeUK Hi, I am trying to cancel my contract but I don’t have the sim anymore and it is text me the security code so I can’t log in. Live chat is also not working please help me

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

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

    @_macca_pacca @SpeedtestAwards @ThreeUK It’s everywhere in town, I’ve been all over the north east when I was on 3 and the signal was crap and so were the speeds

  • DavidBeattie86
    David (@DavidBeattie86) reported from South Shields, England

    Anytime I’m in Newcastle City Centre on a match day I cannot get any signal even though it says I have 5G. @ThreeUK are one of the worst networks.

    @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.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport He doesn't want to talk to any Indian Call centre worker. All he wants is to cancel...understand the circumstances I think you should be letting him cancel and get a full refund before it escalates... How bad will yous look if John falls really ill and ends up in hospital.

  • tubblog
    Richard Tubb (@tubblog) reported from Longbenton, England

    @M4tty_J @ThreeUK Hugely disappointing, isn't it? The whole reason I chose Three as a network is because I can use it anywhere. Now, we're headed to the bad old days of being disconnected abroad or paying through the nose. 😓

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

    @ThreeUKSupport No...and it looks an impossible task to get his refund he is rightly owed. The Indian advised my Godfather he should claim the 2 month payments for the service he never had back from his bank...or credit someone else's 3 account for John to get the fefund from them.

    @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.....

  • chewytheleftie

    @ThreeUKSupport hi, need to speak to someone re mobile WiFi that’s not working. Tried the number on website, just cuts off

    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

  • 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.

  • durgut_arda1
    ARDA BATIKAN DURGUT (@durgut_arda1) reported

    I use @ThreeUK in London, but the internet is practically non-existent... The signal is zero, the speed is terrible. This experience is truly unacceptable in 2026. 🙃 Am I the only one experiencing this problem? @ThreeUKSupport

  • MarkChappe93649
    Mark Chappell (@MarkChappe93649) reported

    @ThreeUK why do you have illogical proceedures that don't allow the account holder, but non phone user, to cancel the contract when have passed security validation but not have access to a passcode? Seems like deliberate contract frustration to enforce additional charges @Ofcom

  • Keith5978673925
    Keith (@Keith5978673925) reported

    @ThreeUK When will you be fixing the tower in Aberdeen? It has been down for maintenance for seven weeks, and maximum download speeds of 2 Mbps simply do not work. The tower spends more time down for maintenance each year than it does actually providing a service.

  • matthayesthfc
    Matt Hayes 🇮🇪 (@matthayesthfc) reported

    @panks_79 @ThreeUKSupport My current phone is broken, but you've saved me. There was a separate section of the Three website for pay-as-you-go 🙈 Which is weird, because I've had to go through an entire different page to buy the same phone I was trying to buy anyway haha Thanks Craig!

  • AdamPurdie
    Adam Purdie (@AdamPurdie) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport is there anyway to stop the incessant calls about my upcoming contract renewal? This is daily and bordering on harassment now. I told your service advisor I will switch providers if this does not stop, same for my wife and daughter.

  • stoopidiztdog
    Stupid Dog (@stoopidiztdog) reported

    @ThreeUK Phone stolen and had a new SIM that I can't activate, because I need an OTP sent to the number to login to MyThree account! Poor user experience. How can you guys not have figured this out?

  • David0728499891
    David (@David0728499891) reported

    @ThreeUK Your network is getting worse dropping all the time and you want to charge more 7.3% you having a laugh. I will be leaving after 14 years of being with your company 😡

  • elektramonster
    Danielle (@elektramonster) reported

    @ThreeUK As your signal is getting consistently worse, we were pleased to find that we could use Vodafone when 3uk isn't working (most of the time where we are currently) however it says Vodafone is a forbidden network! Can you explain this please?

  • rizwanalihaidr
    Rizwan Ali (@rizwanalihaidr) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUKSupport frustrating. This situation is causing me serious stress. If this is not resolved immediately with a full explanation and refund of any incorrect charges, I will proceed with cancelling all my services and escalating this complaint further.

  • NoveNight
    NN (@NoveNight) reported

    @ThreeUK is an absolute joke. They cancelled my phone plan with no warning and won't even let me lodge a formal complaint. Are there any authorities in the UK where I can escalate my complaint?
