    @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.....

    @ThreeUKSupport Unusable signal in NE2 😭😭

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • GalaLeon1905

    @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

  • _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.

    @ThreeUKSupport hi. Any idea when you will finish the works on the masts affecting NE25 0JF as my broadband is unusable due to the reduced service?

  • 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.

    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.

  • 19bootsy68
    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.

  • LauraChrisp

    @ThreeUKSupport my three app had gone down any help getting a pre sale code for Peter kay. I cant access the app at all!!

    Border Riever 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@geordie_driver) reported from Seaton Delaval, England

    @ThreeUK can you sort out a signal in teesport. I know Mother Nature gave up around there, but a decent signal wouldn’t go a miss. Reminds me of watching porn on dial up in the 90’s.

    @ThreeUKSupport Damn. Come on Scotty, we’ve waited long enough now, tell them to hurry up lol

    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

  • tvgenius05
    Jonathan Lansana (@tvgenius05) reported from Morpeth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport the Emergency Alert did not go off on my phone. Checked and alert is active in my settings getting all other notifications through as well so signals fine.

  • 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

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

    @ThreeUKSupport @intuMetrocentre I'm not joking...yous will be the death of my Godfather or he will end up in hospital then it turns serious...that's when yous end up in trouble and get the bad press yous deserve. Under the circumstances I'm sure someone high up with Three can have his contract ended in a shop.

    @ThreeUK I’m having issue with logging in to the App the MFA isn’t working and it’s actually not sending me the code. Your website isn’t helping neither is the chat

    Ghostchant (@gh05tch4nt) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport We’ve had no internet at home all day. The network status on your site says you’re aware but working from home is impossible, currently. Do you have a timeframe? Stoke-on-Trent

  • EmmaAndrews95

    @ThreeUK @iD_Mobile_UK your coverage is down in the Hull area, my partner cannot get any phone signal today so cannot make calls or texts and has no Internet!

    Kitty Coco (@BambieBambini) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport 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.

  • countrycook4
    countrycook (@countrycook4) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I have no signal, I'm stuck at home, and I need an IMS Reset for Wi-Fi Calling. Please send a secure chat link.

  • woodenscot
    Graeme (@woodenscot) reported

    .@ThreeUKSupport is there any chance you could make your network work in the centre of Edinburgh. It is appallingly bad and has been for a very long time. I was hoping your Vodafone merger was fixing it but seems not.

  • JonoWhoElse
    Jono (@JonoWhoElse) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Are there any issues with your mobile wifi in the north east? Keep having issues with your 5G

    I had the same issue when speaking to @ThreeUK about the money they owed me after I traded in my old phone last year. Bring back UK customer service.

  • Legmo_2
    Legmo2 (@Legmo_2) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport - Hello! Ever since Vodafone and Three have merged my signal at home went from 250-300mbps download to 3-4mbps. It only goes back up when I turn my phone to airplane mode on for a few minutes and then back off. Any help would be much appreciated!
