    @nelliecarty @ThreeUK same with @skytv as long as you pay and don't complain they treat you with disdain. All they're interested in is new custom

    @MartinSLewis I'm concerned for the welfare of my elderly Godfather. He signed a 18 month contract with @ThreeUK 5th December.. he has no speed at all from his plug in 4g router...we tried getting help. The manager from the 3 shop he advised to phone and cancel. 1/2

    Paddy (@stobbsmeister) reported from Seaham, England

    @ThreeUK counting down the days until I'm able to leave. I've overlooked the poor CS and data dead spots however the reintroduction of roaming charges (after banging the go roam drum for years) is the final straw. I'm sure I won't be the first or the last to jump to @O2

  • DavidBeattie86
    David (@DavidBeattie86) reported from South Shields, England

    Anytime I’m in Newcastle City Centre on a match day I cannot get any signal even though it says I have 5G. @ThreeUK are one of the worst networks.

    @Heidi_LFC9 @ThreeUK @EE I'm paying £57 month on 3 for my Samsung S10+ and it's a 2 year plan. I'll have enough to pay off the remaining 15 months in one go soon and I'll swap to EE. I've never had 3 add to my bills when on Unlimited.

    @ThreeUKSupport @intuMetrocentre I'm not joking...yous will be the death of my Godfather or he will end up in hospital then it turns serious...that's when yous end up in trouble and get the bad press yous deserve. Under the circumstances I'm sure someone high up with Three can have his contract ended in a shop.

    @Kingcanners @RJPJournalism @ThreeUK I know it’s easy to say now, but I never liked the 3 sponsorship. I don’t think it did the look of our kits any favours either! 👋3

    I went to sleep with no internet or network access on #ThreeUK I woke up to internet access and no network, hence this message. To be fair my first ever experience of outage on #Three in almost 12yrs #ThreeDown #ItsNotTheApocalypse

  • MXOFO
    Lee (@MXOFO) reported from Newburn, England

    My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport He doesn't want to talk to any Indian Call centre worker. All he wants is to cancel...understand the circumstances I think you should be letting him cancel and get a full refund before it escalates... How bad will yous look if John falls really ill and ends up in hospital.

  • Icypixel
    Tom (@Icypixel) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I've been traveling to Newcastle for work over the last 12 or so months and the signal in the centre of Newcastle has been constantly poor, slow/non existent mobile internet. Any plans to upgrade the signal in Newcastle? (& Leeds city whilst we're here)

  • 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

    @Ofcom I'm having a massive problem trying to help my elderly Godfather in his mid 70s cancel his contract with @ThreeUK it's making him ill, Im frightened he has a heart attack or collapses through stress. He has no internet speed on his WiFi router. Speaking to Indians is frustrating.

  • 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

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

    @ThreeUKSupport That's what I've had to do...i don't want no nonsense once I take over or I will hang up and take the @Ofcom route. I think to make it even easier is that there is an attachment on John's file that there is only one thing we need and that is cancellation of the contract.

    @ThreeUK I can no longer listen to voice mail unless I record a stupid message? Are you on crack? Fk off. Give me access to my voice message or I'm changing provider. Not negotiable. Fkn tyrants.

    @ThreeUK WTH is this new system on 3+? If you save a Caffè Nero code, you now have to claim it within an hour? What?! We save these codes so we can use them when it’s convenient for us NOT within a 1hr window. Fix it! #threeplus #threenetwork #three

  • NeddyOrNot
    Neddy (@NeddyOrNot) reported

    It should be illegal how phone companies handle cancellations once your minimum term ends. If the contract's over, I should be able to cancel it online in 30 seconds, not spend an hour jumping through hoops just to stop paying them. I'm talking about @ThreeUK here, but let's be honest, they're all at it. Why is this still considered acceptable?

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK They don’t cancel your sim for that. I’ve been out the uk since April. You’re just a tit clearly

  • romeocln
    CRoM (@romeocln) reported

    I moved from @ThreeUK to @O2 and nothing has improved on signal. Blind spots alll over the places. What I really don't get why you don't get anything on 4 antena bars? And could be anywhere in London

  • EZRipir
    Fazel (@EZRipir) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK When was it cancelled? You get 30 days period after the termination to get a pac code to transfer to different network.

    B43 7EQ Great Barr very slow & no service again.Been told that @ThreeUKSupport @VodafoneUK are aware of issue.Been down for months,so why no action?

  • Matts_Tweeting
    Matt🦻 (@Matts_Tweeting) reported

    terrible signal service since @ThreeUK and @VodafoneUK merged. all networks have been crap with 5g never working and 4g being downgraded but this is ridiculous. signal checkers always say its fine. @SMARTYMobileUK uses 3 and i can't ever use what i pay for. #smartymobile

    @ThreeUKSupport is there an issue in swanage? For the last year or so? I used to have excellent signal here at home and now I’m lucky if I get 1 bar. Horrendous
