    @ThreeUKSupport absolutely rubbish had no signal in Birmingham City center last week. Now entire network down and no mention from yourselves. #changingprovidersoon

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’ve got an iPhone XR but the phone isn’t the issue, it’s a coverage drop out since 9th August which is unacceptable as this is a business mobile @ThreeUKSupport

  • Claytoncast Paul Clayton (@Claytoncast) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I am heading to the Us and Portugal on business trips in the next month. Should I just change to vodspahone whose customers dont seem to have these problems. My contract is now up for renewal

  • stanfield81 Michael Stanfield (@stanfield81) reported from Redditch, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Eventually. 1h 22m phone call and still didn't manage to get it paid do to the IVR and DTMF issue, and no promised call back yesterday. Live Chat agent disconnected chat instantly after waiting about 10 minites. Terrible terrible leaving experience.

  • iamRicardoW RICARDO WILLIAMS (@iamRicardoW) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BigJMusic @O2 @ThreeUK Did that... never looked back! Do it

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Or @ThreeUKSupport could just sort the issue. 23 days now, not that I’m counting. I don’t pay for Wi-Fi calling, I pay for a mobile service. The issue is DY7.

  • stanfield81 Michael Stanfield (@stanfield81) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Three_Is_Broken @ThreeUKSupport Glad I left. Vodafone Voxi way forward. 2 months now, not one issue. Paying my last Three bill was one of the most frustrating things I have ever done....

  • jane_ellery_ Jane 🍂🍁🎃 (@jane_ellery_) reported from Redditch, England

    @ems_charlottex @VodafoneUK @ThreeUK It’s been a couple months now. I was with them years ago and signal was so so. Went to Vodafone after big they were expensive so back to 3 and they are cheaper but poop signal lol

  • GarethMBE Gareth Humphreys MBE (@GarethMBE) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Still waiting for a reply after 7 hours how poor is this ! Quote " We are here to Help" What help the Business certainly not the customer !

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    @ThreeUKSupport No point, I’m a business customer. They can’t help. The advice is to CALL business support, difficult with no signal....

  • Claytoncast Paul Clayton (@Claytoncast) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Then how do we do this. I cant use the same pin. It tells me on trips. i have just set up a new Pin. i wont know if that works until it lets me down again

  • MrandMrsK11 Heather (@MrandMrsK11) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUK Can you help. I need a 4g WiFi dongle on pay as you with approx 20gb. Can you help

  • Jaysixtinine Heisenberg (@Jaysixtinine) reported from Birmingham, England

    I think I might switch to @EE soon because @ThreeUK are a waste of time can’t get signal anyway and it really ***** me off

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @JohnButlerEFC It’s pointless checking yet postcode, the website says it’s all okay, but reality is that the signal is poor or non existent

  • fashionenth Eunice Abe (@fashionenth) reported from Birmingham, England

    Honestly getting so p*ssed off with @ThreeUKSupport their signal is so bad at my apartment like if I had known I would have just stayed with @EE it was never this bad with them 😡

  • georgiaareyx Gee 🧙🏾‍♀️ (@georgiaareyx) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’ve tried all this! I’m really unhappy how I’m paying all this money a month and you guys aren’t even giving me good service coverage for the money I pay!

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Yeah @ThreeUKSupport you might all be laughing your heads off at 3HQ Towers.... but you’re customers are pulling their hair out at the same repeated advice. Turning your phone off and then on does not magically produce a signal. What next, suggest we run a unicorn 🦄

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

  • Hey_Bilal Billy (@Hey_Bilal) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUK The network coverage is appalling, been with you 10+ years got network booster for my house but when I'm in the city centre I have no coverage

  • Nikkyt_23 Nicole Talbott (@Nikkyt_23) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUK and then after nearly 2 hours.... they put the phone down.. **** you Three!!!

  • AndyManch1 AndyManch (@AndyManch1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport phoned up to get my pac code as the internet is poor to be kept on the phone for over 30 minutes talking to India, said I was a loyal customer and the network hasn't been good he could do me a deal then offered me £0.54p off my bill? Just rubbish customer service

  • ChrisCompo Chris Baker (Compo) (@ChrisCompo) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport No advice. I said I will cancel with the bank , but that isn't a refusal to pay. Just that you are not helping me cancel the account. Some of it is the system. As your chat system takes that Info as your 1st login attempt. But auto fill did mine.

  • RhysCameronWat1 Rhys Cameron Watkins (@RhysCameronWat1) reported

    How come people in Ukraine probably have better reliable network then me @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK

  • AbordAlessandro Alessandro bordoni (@AbordAlessandro) reported

    @ThreeUK sent me a contract I never made with direct debit on my name and correct bank account (not the sort code). I contacted them. 1 h, no solution. Called the day after, got an email. The reply: send docs with picture and they will give me a password and call again. (1

  • arnoboko Aaron (@arnoboko) reported

    @ThreeUK must have the worst signal in NI ... constantly on 1 bar or no reception at all

  • chewytheleftie Chris Tindall (@chewytheleftie) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

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

  • BMordey7 Brandon 🇨🇷 (@BMordey7) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Any idea how long the network outage in the area NE37 3LP is gonna last? Had 4 days with no service now.

  • alicjarys1 Alicja Rys (@alicjarys1) reported

    @ThreeUK You are committing to things which, you can not provide and you keep taking money for the service which you haven’t provided! Disgraceful company which disrespects their customers time and money. You should re-educate your staff as they have no idea what they are doing!!

  • cantonaisking andrew brannan (@cantonaisking) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I have renewed 3 passport for past 2 days in Dubai now I can’t call anyone and I can’t renew the £5 daily passport ? Please help as I need to contact family
