    @ThreeUK #5g just received my new 5g phone on a really good plan, would be nice if @Three sent customers rewards though for their loyalty like other suppliers #Over10Years a customer

  • eapxxxx ems. (@eapxxxx) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @ThreeUK officially have the worst customer service. on the phone for nearly 50 mins for me to get NOWHERE 🤯

  • BenLimehouse Ben Limehouse (@BenLimehouse) reported from Redditch, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Literally the most useless response. You have a customer here that has been with you for 5 years asking for some support with an unresolved issue and getting no traction and when I call up I get no further and it just goes round in circles and have to explain the situation again.

  • PrincessTima3 Princess Tima (@PrincessTima3) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @ThreeUKSupport very annoyed and angry at your service lately and when I call I get put on hold or transfer to the wrong team 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  • producerSX S-X (@producerSX) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @ThreeUKSupport i want out of my contract because i can never get service anywhere. i pay £80 a month to get upset everytime i open my phone. this isn’t what your contract said would happen. how do i leave without paying to do so

  • Jeanybabesb j7b7 (@Jeanybabesb) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Have been with @ThreeUK since 2005...15 years and the service has just got worse...time to switch! What you got @EE @virginmedia @O2

  • PrincessTima3 Princess Tima (@PrincessTima3) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport please fix your network it 2020 omg I have a migraine with this connection 🥵🥵😩😞

  • PrincessTima3 Princess Tima (@PrincessTima3) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @ThreeUKSupport peu gérer honest maybe you should admit to all your customer that you cannot provide is internet service so we can cancel ou he contract and move on ! Let start 2020 in honestly ! Lol it been 4months your network is shit 🙈😩😓

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @georgiaahale @giffgaff @TalkTalk @ThreeUK Oh shit! If it was within 14 days you can defo cancel penalty free as that's within the cooling off period. Make a complaint if you haven't already, don't let them get away with it. Sometimes they need that kick if all else fails email the CEO I can provide email ad.

  • im_wesleyjatt Wesley ਜੱਟ (@im_wesleyjatt) reported from Streetly, England

    @brattandeaf @ThreeUKSupport Apparently I heard somewhere that 3 network used to be good because they share the mast with o2 or EE, but now other network cut tie with them. Therefore 3 have to have own mast this is why it become useless.

  • field133 daniel (@field133) reported from Dudley, England

    @ThreeUK not a very happy customer here every time I try to do live chat regarding account it says no operator available. And this is at various time during the last 3 days 😕😕

  • andrea_stoneCSC Andrea Stone 🧘🏽‍♂️ (@andrea_stoneCSC) reported from Birmingham, England

    😡 someone has fraudulently used my name/ address to open a mobile phone contract with @ThreeUK. I call Three and they ask me for password and security questions!! I try to explain that I cannot answer as I did not open the account but they can’t help!! #vpoornoncustomerservice

    @ThreeUK Well just make sure it doesn't go off during the night when you's have fixed the issue...

  • JaysonBoi2000 JasonBoi2000 (@JaysonBoi2000) reported

    @iD0ts @ThisIsNoahEvans @ThreeUK O2 did just have an outage

  • MitchH0300 Mitchell Harris (@MitchH0300) reported

    @porlmurf @ThreeUK Shocking service

  • Mildertduck Richard 🦆 (@Mildertduck) reported

    @missradders @ThreeUK No, it doesn't: it used the 4G and 5G signal from mobile phone masts. If you don't have access to those, I don't think you get an alert.

  • CryptomoneyA Cryptomoney Assets (@CryptomoneyA) reported

    @ThreeUK Not even an apology? Wow! No wonder you now have the honour of being the worst service provider in the UK.

  • TLCTracyLouise Tracy (@TLCTracyLouise) reported

    @ThreeUK Some? I don’t know of a single Three customer who did get one ….. embarrassingly poor really 😔

  • liamnorris1001 liam norris (@liamnorris1001) reported

    @ThreeUK Lads. Serious question. Is this grounds for your customers to be able to get rid of your appalling network coverage and non existent customer service?

  • rembarlow199327 💕ROBYN💕 (@rembarlow199327) reported

    @ThreeUK I never got it either

  • rab1dkorndogg andy marsh (@rab1dkorndogg) reported

    @liamnorris1001 @ThreeUK Even though it wasn't just Three that had this issue... Hmmm

  • jj2102 JJ Penney (@jj2102) reported

    I'm on @ThreeUK and didn't get the Emergency Alert today @BBCNews. The alert did go off on my work phone, as well as the other devices in the house at 2.59. Didn't think it was that loud but did the job ok
