    I'm not one for complaining on Twitter, but I’m letting it be known that @ThreeUK customer services is awful. As a long standing customer and given the current pandemic the service has been appalling.

    Wayne Corbett (@brummiechef_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUK thank you for not helping me at all with my mobile phone repair claim, totally broken screen covered by accidental damage in your policy that you have taken £240 pounds off me and basically said tough luck. I am a long term loyal customer with 3 contracts #shameonyou

    @tescomobile Was a customer of yours for years but had to leave because your overseas data offering was shocking/non-existent. @ThreeUK are excellent able to use phone as if at home in most worldwide countries. You need to up your game in this regard Tesco.

    @ThreeUK @paigebr0wn_ Shame you can’t do anything decent for long-standing customers and NHS staff instead of just raising their bill scumbags after my contract is up I’ll be taking my business else where and that’s true of everyone I work with who are on your network

  • richardwadams
    Richard Adams (@richardwadams) reported

    @paullewismoney It should be as easy to cancel as it is to sign up. My best example was @ThreeUKSupport. I had to print out a form and post it to them. A telecommunications company. It beggared belief. They of course denied ever receiving it.

    Alisha (@Alishaa_Ali) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Please help.i returned 2 tablets using Three’s prepaid return packaging around April 2025. After repeatedly being told there was no evidence, BOTH have now been found. Three says they were “received” June 2026 and won’t fully refund me. I need this investigated

    @coveragechecker @ThreeUK I was surprised by a lot about it, I used to work for three so I knew there were some good places but recently since they have merged the signal around my city has just dropped quite hard, I’ve reported it many times but they don’t seem to get back to me lol
