  • Geo1604 George Caulfield (@Geo1604) reported from Leyland, England

    @ThreeUK why is your signal so shit time for a change I think

  • chengy888 Danny Cheng (@chengy888) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport why have i just gone on the app to correct my direct debit details and it is in someone elses name and their account details? Data protection breach as i can see their billing details? Contactled live chat to be told noone can reply due to technical issue

  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Preston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Tried that before. Im pretty confident it’s not my phone it’s your service. Three has already admitted my signal is poor at home, I have a discount to my bill every month as you know this is an ongoing issue. Other 3 users are noticing, and telling you, the same.

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    @SteveyAsp @ThreeUK @EE That what made me switch from three to ee , network congestion and the fact the 4g coverage from three in my area hasnt changed in 4 years, still no coverage, yet ee offer no 5g yet but 70-110mb 4g connection which is overkill but come in hand if my broadband goes down

  • monkey__nuts Rob (@monkey__nuts) reported from Southport, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I have 3 separate contracts with Three. All still affected by the outage. All three have had their monthly tariffs increased in recent months, with only general satisfaction of service stopping me from switching them Please advise of a possible eta for a fix

  • LouiseBoulsbee Louise Boulsbee (@LouiseBoulsbee) reported from Horwich, England

    @ThreeUKSupport what is the best way to get in touch if you don’t have online account (phone line not working despite saying open until 8pm)

  • Dannymaddog Danny McKeown-Henshall (@Dannymaddog) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @tatumsfluffer @ASA_UK @ThreeUK @Ofcom Yup - I have this thought all the time! Worst in London I have to say from the last 36 hours!

  • Dannymaddog Danny McKeown-Henshall (@Dannymaddog) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @PeterBayliss @Ofcom Must be a local issue for you - I’ve been relying on @ThreeUK for broadband as my @virginmedia 100mbps fibre line has been epically slow even phone calls made on Wifi calling are bad, switch to mobile and it’s perfect 👌

  • bennydonagain Sam Donagain (@bennydonagain) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Nope. Not a chance Stephie. I expect you to be busier than normal but service at the minute is shocking. I’m looking at upgrading my phone very soon and with what has gone on I may have to look elsewhere which I don’t really want to do being a customer of yours for years.

  • simonnicholl Simon Nicholl (@simonnicholl) reported from Warton, England

    Come on @ThreeUKSupport help me out, please.

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    @SteveyAsp @ThreeUK @EE Exactly. But three are making it sound amazing and reality its terrible, yet ee speed is not headline grabbing but very usable in built up congested areas which i would take all day long

  • nicjanemonaghan Nicola Monaghan (@nicjanemonaghan) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUK I would like to make a complaint about your staff customer service skills. My home broadband isn’t working either

  • AdrianBeeby Adrian H Beeby (@AdrianBeeby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ThreeUK Data is as ‘okay’ if you could ever get a signal but then prices got crazy. What a nightmare giving notice was - the call operators just won’t give in and let you simply cancel. Moved to @giffgaff and been happy ever since. @giffgaff you are awesome.

  • TheJamesBailey Jim Bailey (@TheJamesBailey) reported from Chorley, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m not sure to be honest. It’s not like it’s the worst thing, butnit is an inconvenience, and it’s annoying that I don’t know why 😂 the mystery haunts me!

  • Anthony_Hacking Anthony Hacking (@Anthony_Hacking) reported from Blackburn, England

    Updated my pay monthly sim plan today with @ThreeUK. Was on Unlimited data and texts + 200 mins for £18 a month. Had been on it since 2015. Then hang on 🤨 Today I saw they were offering Unlimited data, texts and calls for £20 a month! No brainier.

  • johnflomax John Lomax (@johnflomax) reported from Longton, England

    @ThreeUK Nah, don't give a shit!

  • spanglysparkly Spangly (@spanglysparkly) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUKSupport iPhone XR bb3 0DU and no can’t get on there either.... getting a bit fed up with the signal issues

  • AngelaFrith1 Angela Frith (@AngelaFrith1) reported from Southport, England

    @ThreeUKSupport service in PR8 area is still shocking any update on why

  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Preston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport It was. But having never missed a payment in 15 years you’d think this would count for something. Clearly not.

  • thatprestonlad Benny Mc'Nally (@thatprestonlad) reported from Preston, England

    @ThreeUK No problems so far my end even tho I'm in the effected area

  • ConradGillan Conrad Gillan (@ConradGillan) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi, I've been trying to cancel an order since it's been trying to get sent to the wrong address. I've had a chat through the live chat assistant but I don't feel 100% reassured that it has actually been cancelled.

  • Jonathangosky Jonathan Williams ✈️ (@Jonathangosky) reported

    @ThreeUK Data use in the Midlands has been useless over the past few weeks. Birmingham City Centre and can’t find timed of trains. Pretty pathetic really. B’ham airport, no workable signal. 😡

  • Catheri74543541 Catherine Philpott (@Catheri74543541) reported

    @ThreeUK so this is the best conversation ever completely flawed. Insurance company say stolen phone is not blocked and 3 can’t help because they can’t text code to stolen phone. Is it just me?????

  • IbereApparel Ibere Apparel (@IbereApparel) reported

    @Little_WonderUK @ThreeUK At least you have service … I’ve had no service all day , can’t even call out

  • IbereApparel Ibere Apparel (@IbereApparel) reported

    @Little_WonderUK @ThreeUK I do daily but today has been the worst

  • stefceretti Stephane Ceretti (@stefceretti) reported

    @ThreeUK I live in the US and part time in the UK and I have a three UK Simcard. Upgrading to the iPhone 14 in the US but there is no slot for the simcard, how do I transfer my threeUK physical sim to an esim so I can still use your network ?

  • DavidBa99183061 David Batchelor (@DavidBa99183061) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi there - the 3 coverage in the GU5 area of Surrey as been non-existent all day yet the network tracker says all OK. Incorrect.

  • stefceretti Stephane Ceretti (@stefceretti) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport That’s very unfortunate .. esim has been around for 3 generation of iPhone already. What’s your timeline for support ?

  • samtobo1 Sam Toboggan (@samtobo1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport It has always been off as well, so this isn’t the issue sadly.

  • kristianj1977 kristian jeffery (@kristianj1977) reported

    @ThreeUK reception and phone network is shockingly bad in Devon yet again. I rely on my phone for my work too. I work with disabled vulnerable people and with my phone not working correctly it's really not good at all. Especially the price I pay for my contract. 65 pm
