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. 😓

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.

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!
-
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

Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England@ThreeUK the complaint was made...and surprise surprise no reply. Your Indian call centre workers were not at all helpful passing us from pillow to post.. they actually made things worse @ThreeUKSupport links they sent never worked. It's been a total shambolic joke. #threeuk

Pup Halvor (@flyingasadragon) reported from Seaham, England@Orthrus75 @ThreeUK If it’s in a specific area sounds like a certain mast is broken. Otherwise your phone settings might need updating

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
-
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.
-
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
-
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

Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England@ThreeUKSupport Your Indian call centres makes it very hard to sort anything out when you get passed to technical for technical to say they are putting you through to technical because this technical can't give the go ahead to cancel the contract. You're a sinister comedy act #cybermuggers.
-
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.

🄸 🄿🅄🅂🄷 🄱🅄🅃🅃🄾🄽🅂 (@_XoDaRap_) reported@ThreeUKSupport I need a customer service email address please. None of your live chat agents could help. I wasted my lunch hour being passed around like a $10 ****** at a stag party.
-
Kevin Mulinga (@mulinga_kevin) reported@ThreeUK I can't enjoy your services. No service at all. My WiFi not working after buffering for over 30 minutes. Sad state of affairs.
-
Álvaro Pétrus (@AcgbPetrus) reported@ThreeUK I'm spending some time abroad and I've had problems with my international roaming. I can no longer use my plan; I have absolutely no signal. I need help but haven't been able to get it so far. Can you assist me? The company doesn't seem to care much about its customers.

loulitagill (@loulitagill) reported@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport now you want to charge me £13.92 for a service I wasn’t even using during the 16-20 May when I had no mobile WiFi installed because you kept sending me packages with missing equipment. Worst experience with a company ever!

Cliffy (@radagastcb) reported@ThreeUK I have been with Three for 20 years, currently have a unlimited Data plan. I was going to change from crap Plusnet to a 4g Internet as we have very fast 4g. I started to apply and the bloody questions you ask. I am retired. Stuff you I will stay where I am.
-
GIFTSpromo (@Gpromo_UK) reported@ThreeUK So you can't provide a stable broadband connection, and tell me I can't cancel without paying an early disconnection fee? What of bunch of useless, thieving ******* ***** you are! See you in court you complete and utter ******* scum!
-
jimmy (@jimmysunny85) reported@ThreeUK sold me a dodgey phone that now the battery swells and has basically become a bomb! I have told them this since August 2025 so nearly a year and they taking zero responsibility!! This is the customer service they provide as long as you pay them all is well!! Stay clear
-
brendan (@kegger1664) reported@Helptalk_cht No resolution. No real apology or acknowledgment that I had to find out myself the order was cancelled. Passed to yet another department. Looks like @VodafoneUK or @ThreeUK will be getting a new customer !!!
