    @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.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Phone delivered to wrong location Incorrect bills Automated phone service ALWAYS redirects to wrong dept Adhoc nature of emailing bills Letters referred to as sent, but they aren’t An apparent lack of wanting to disclose complaints process

  • Agg7Aniket Aniket Aggarwal (@Agg7Aniket) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I will certainly log the complaint, but you have been working to improve your connections since the past 3 years I’ve been on this network and no improvement have been made. University campus near the city centre is 100% of high priority.

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

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Had to sort out confusion over my bill and had a lovely lady sort this out for me without hassle and even added in something's I didn't even ask for as in reconnecting me as I've been valued customer for over 10 years such a cracking call

  • CrackingLeaders Carol Coombes O.B.E (@CrackingLeaders) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Everything is crossed here. We're like contortionists 🙈. Will no doubt be back to you all if problem persists. Still need phone service. Please pass thanks to JJ. 🙌

  • CrackingLeaders Carol Coombes O.B.E (@CrackingLeaders) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport so cheesed off. Can't contact anyone as three still haven't sorted problem, and need to. Been told resolved each month for 5 months, still without service at end of each month to middle of next, 1m apologies, no efficiency. Cheesed off

  • Thefurrytrucker Pete (@Thefurrytrucker) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Just got a text message from @ThreeUK to tell me how much internet I’ve used this month... ...AT 00:55 AT NIGHT. **** OFF. I DON’T CARE. I’M TRYING TO SLEEP!😡😡😡

  • CityliciousSJ Sadie Jones (@CityliciousSJ) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport So I have now been charged a 2nd month after clearly cancelling the chip twice now. This is terrible customer service your telephone contacts don't appear to listen or do their job. I'm outraged and think I need to end my contract.

  • AdamCar60698936 Adam (@AdamCar60698936) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUK gi my name is Adam, would any one be able to help me please I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. Your overseas customer service have failed to sort my problem out for the 5th day its becoming laughable....please can someone help me .....

  • rash61271 Rash (@rash61271) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I have lost my network coverage over the last two days, to the point we were almost left stranded while away. Could not call Uber or phone anyone for help. Same just happened now while driving and using the navigation on my phone. It's getting ridiculous now!!!

  • 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....

  • jassey73 🏳️‍🌈 Jason S 🏳️‍🌈 (@jassey73) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Pointless, done that before and you just come back with ‘congestion in the area’ bollocks. PAC has been requested, time to move to a better network.

  • wilkowba74 Brendon Wilkinson (@wilkowba74) reported from Dudley, England

    Never known a provider like @ThreeUK very poor with existing customers and upgrades time for a move STAY WELL CLEAR

  • Justinas370 Justinas (@Justinas370) reported

    @kels80 @ThreeUKSupport @kels80 Did they solve your problem? I contacted again and they said they fixed it now.. but only two weeks have passed!!! and they are charging me again full price. I don't know what to do, their custumer service is not existed!

  • GetMeAManager Karen is Correct (@GetMeAManager) reported

    @bella_EB @ThreeUKSupport And if you get no signal wherever you go, it most likely won't be a network issue. It's pretty impossible for three to have no service anywhere.

  • joekate ANDREW LAYBOURN (@joekate) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Already done this last time you told me to. Let’s face it, the service is rubbish. How can download be . 26 and upload 19. 4 months this has been going on and phone 4g isn’t much better 😡

  • saxbend 👣🎷बैन डौन्नल्ली (@saxbend) reported from Ealing, England

    I do enjoy @ThreeUK's "Support anyone but Chelsea" ad campaign. :)

  • Fidcon Lucy (@Fidcon) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Pete, I have tried numerous times to call 333 and I have also used your chat. Useless. They also insist on asking for my personal data and my password details for security. What is the point of a password if you still have to give personal details over an unsecure network????

  • Dieps888 David Diep (@Dieps888) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I ordered a new iPhone from your website for £32.50. And the confirmation arrived and it said £32.50. I did my due diligence and your customer service team said it is also correct. I received my first bill and it was double the price! Should have stuck with @EE

  • GetMeAManager Karen is Correct (@GetMeAManager) reported

    @PythonSarah @ThreeUKSupport You did upgrade. And you shouldn't have cancelled your DD. As you made the decision to cancel your DD, three are not responsible for your credit rating being affected. This will remain for 6 years. If you didn't upgrade, it would've been investigated by fraud.

  • joekate ANDREW LAYBOURN (@joekate) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport We’re working as fast as we can to build a better, stronger network in your area. How long does it take, been like this since September 😡

  • GetMeAManager Karen is Correct (@GetMeAManager) reported

    @dannifdx @ThreeUKSupport It's actually 30 days for fraud cases. Not 48 hours. Not 72 hours. It's 30 days. If there was fraudulent activity on your account prior, this is why. So in actual fact, Three are doing you a favour. The only problem is the inexperienced advice given to you.

  • PythonSarah Sarah.py 🐍 (@PythonSarah) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport You guys have tried to charge me an upgrade fee even though I haven't upgraded. I cancelled the direct debit now you're threatening to cut my service. Spoke to 6 people over a week and I'm still no closer to sorting this out. It's getting silly now.
