-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Tedstercal (@tedstercal) reported from Sunderland, England@ThreeUKSupport Don't think it's a Samsung issue, as I said my work phone conects ok which to me points toward the phone wifi accessibility through 3! Very disappointing reply!
-
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.

-
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 🤯🤬
-
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
-
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 😡
-
🎶🌸ⓈⓉⒺⓋⒺ🌸🎶 (@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.
-
✌Bruce Wells⚽ (@bruceywells) reported from Walker Gate, England@ThreeUKSupport why is my phone signal so bad today all of a sudden? Please help
-
Debbie (@debbieskywalker) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime 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
-
-
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.
-
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. 😓
-
Sam Nicholles (@SamNicholles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandThe @ThreeUK app for pre sale ticket sales is an absolute joke, making me create a new account when I’ve already had one, taking ages to load then closing down, class this ..
-
Daniel Allis 🇬🇧 (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England@_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
-
JAN STEWART (@fabiliciousx) reported from Whitley Bay, England@ThreeUK After being on phone for over an hour, the support kindly waived some charges, a phone call later saying they cannot do this ..what they agreeded because of a waive back in 2017 for £8....what a joke!!!
-
Paul Hesslewood (@HesslewoodPaul) reported from Dunston, England@ThreeUKSupport I’ve had no data since getting back to the North East today is there an issue with 3/4G

-
Kitty Coco (@BambieBambini) reported@ThreeUK Warning for 3 PAYG Users They cut off my service and kept my remaining credit, claiming no chargeable activity for 6 months, despite a recent call I have the logs on my phone to prove. This is the last time they will rob me. I’m switching to another provider.
-
ARDA BATIKAN DURGUT (@durgut_arda1) reportedI 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
-
Virginia McClane (@VirginiaMcClane) reported@ThreeUKSupport have you got any issues with broadband in Larkfield Kent @ThreeUK
-
Zion Lights (@ziontree) reportedCalling out @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport for the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Company keeps charging me for a cancelled service, but their staff can’t understand or resolve it. Filed a complaint via the website, which they marked as resolved - without resolving it.
-
A-I (@Unlucky_Dude2) reported@ThreeUK i have been getting charged by applepay. I have never used applepay and 5 trasactions totalling around £84 in space of 10 mins. I dont own an iphone and have no transactions showing up on my google pay acc on my android phone. What scam is this?
-
onerealbeanie (@onerealbeanie) reported@ThreeUK I live in County Durham. CS on 333 told me that there is a long standing issue in my area that Three can't fix due to "network limitations". Why do you sell services to County Durham residents when you refuse to fix issues, take ownership and provide explanations?
-
Hugh Campbell (@HughCampbell7) reported@ThreeUK impossible to get help on there website.
-
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.
-
bob jeffray (@BobJeffray) reported@ThreeUKSupport why is it so difficult to cancel a home broadband contract?
-
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 !!!
