  • gloriasibz GLORY. (@gloriasibz) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUKSupport I’m actually so annoyed and the service I’ve received in the past month or has been absolutely atrocious. If anyone is thinking of joining 3 network please don’t they’re a joke who rip off their customers and the service is a joke!

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Your Indian call centres makes it very hard to sort anything out when you get passed to technical for technical to say they are putting you through to technical because this technical can't give the go ahead to cancel the contract. You're a sinister comedy act #cybermuggers.

  • dibbs1967 Dibbs (@dibbs1967) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @ThreeUK @Ofcom Waited over 4 hours yesterday. Disconnected 4 times. 1 hour 15 mins waiting inline today and as i got to position 1.....yup disconnected. Shocking service and held hostage.

  • DezyByers33 Dezy Ward (@DezyByers33) reported from Spennymoor, England

    @ThreeUKSupport very very poor service

  • timhardinguk Tim Harding (@timhardinguk) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @ThreeUKSupport #makeitright contract ends in 14 days, can’t upgrade your system #sucks loops in circles !

  • DezyByers33 Dezy Ward (@DezyByers33) reported from Spennymoor, England

    @ThreeUKSupport No its still not sorted.... despite seeing proof of age etc at the time in your shop where they asked me to go, when i got there your systems were down so it wasnt sorted. You wont sort it till i do another 40 mile round trip to the nearest shop yet again

  • japredchiu japred chiu (@japredchiu) reported from South Shields, England

    @ThreeUK please hear me. I called your customer service coz I have been receiving 2-3 mbps. This is far what u promise 25-35. I never had this speed. They told me to use the chat options rather than call. Still no answer. I queue on your store for almost 2 hours to solve this but

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUKSupport No...and it looks an impossible task to get his refund he is rightly owed. The Indian advised my Godfather he should claim the 2 month payments for the service he never had back from his bank...or credit someone else's 3 account for John to get the fefund from them.

  • gloriasibz GLORY. (@gloriasibz) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK honestly I’m tired of your customer advisors transferring me to complaints when I have not suggested that I want to speak to complaints team. The queue wait is absolutely ridiculous to begin with. They should be able to try and resolve the solution first

  • DezyByers33 Dezy Ward (@DezyByers33) reported from Spennymoor, England

    @markcatmu11 @ThreeUK I couldn't agree more mate.. ive had terrible service from them too

  • gloriasibz GLORY. (@gloriasibz) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK I understand the circumstances that are going on right now, it’s already difficult not being able to speak to an advisor over the phone. You can’t be dismissing a customer when they’ve contacted for help.

  • DezyByers33 Dezy Ward (@DezyByers33) reported from Washington, England

    @ThreeUK service is appalling like.... i ring you up told to i have to go 20 mile to the nearest shop. Get there and your systems are down. Waste of journey and time

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @ThreeUK the complaint was made...and surprise surprise no reply. Your Indian call centre workers were not at all helpful passing us from pillow to post.. they actually made things worse @ThreeUKSupport links they sent never worked. It's been a total shambolic joke. #threeuk

  • SunderlanDave Dave Lee (@SunderlanDave) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @ThreeUKSupport It is now over a week since the incident and apart from receiving a bill for early termination yet you knew he didn't ask for the PAC code we have had no correspondence from 3 we are going to the press on this and you better have answers for them as we are contacting your CEO

  • DezyByers33 Dezy Ward (@DezyByers33) reported from Spennymoor, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Ive been to the shop nearby (40mile round trip like i was asked to, got there and your systems were down!!!! Just going round in circles here, very poor service

  • SunderlanDave Dave Lee (@SunderlanDave) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @ThreeUKSupport We are still getting nowhere with this a now just received a bill for early termination fee... Your customer service is absolutely appalling what a shambles if a company you are

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    What a bunch of un professionals @ThreeUK #threeuk #threenextwork @ThreeUKSupport are...they tell us to fill an online complaint form out for it to say not a valid postcode. John my Godfather also doesn't have an email address...So we are no further forward. #HarryandMeghan #iran

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @Nathan_McMillan @ThreeUK @intuMetrocentre Yep... I feel a bit bad as I said to John that the plug in WiFi router from 3 might be the easiest thing he'd need...then for he to go through all that stress, having to see his doctor makes me feel guilty especially when he was trying to cheer me up when I was nearly killed.

  • 19bootsy68 Bootsy (@19bootsy68) reported from Dunston, England

    @Nathan_McMillan @ThreeUK @intuMetrocentre The kid who went into me on the bike stopped and profusely apologised..the truck driver carried on... I was in such a state of shock I couldn't even lose my temper with the kid on the bike i basically got to my feet and hurried home. I've never slept properly or ate.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @rutty_uk @ThreeUK Cheers, some decent plans/prices there. Was always a bit concerned about them not having a help number but I think most networks do it all on social media anyway.

  • HSkilgannon Vitor (@HSkilgannon) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport No solution for this problem?

  • avid__fan sushi (@avid__fan) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks for your reply unfortunately. Although it sped up very early this morning it’s still really slow today. I had to buy another networks sim or I’d risk losing my job =/

  • BryanFoss Bryan Foss (@BryanFoss) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Contract I tried to setup, SIM never received. 4 letters without replies, numerous long calls and a year later £120 of direct debits have been taken from my account for no service. What can you actually do about this?

  • ChloeLouHull Chloe Arnold (@ChloeLouHull) reported

    @GetMeAManager @ThreeUKSupport They also checked coverage in my area and was told I'd receive good signal indoors and outdoors (the only reason I went with 3). I have 1 bar signal at all times. I used to work for an ISP, so please don't try and lecture me on a subject I already know a lot about.

  • ThreeUKSupport ThreeUKSupport (@ThreeUKSupport) reported

    @stripedx @ThreeUK It won't let us reply to your DM but it looks like the coverage in the area is limited, have you always had issues here? If switch to 3G only do you see an improvement at all? -Kim
