    Never go with @ThreeUK for buisness if you want any kind of decent customer support. You get what you pay for

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported from Little Baddow, England

    Voice over WiFi is also down @ThreeUKSupport ....we understand nothing works all the time. But it might help if you put less effort into sales and marketing until the service is working. Will there be with any possibility of roaming with Vodafone?

  • moonpunk moonpunk (@moonpunk) reported from Great Notley, England

    @ViliLe @ruskin147 @ThreeUK I'm with Three UK and have the exact same problem. In fact last week I had a go at them because Three UK cold-called me to try and sell me more services! I told them that they are in a privileged position to have my number, and it's a blatant misuse to use it to cold-call me!

  • dan_upson Daniel Upson (@dan_upson) reported from Chelmsford, England

  • SeadogSpurs ⚓Ian⚓ (@SeadogSpurs) reported from Braintree, England

    If you employ people to answer phones make sure they do not hang up on people @ThreeUK Upsetting old people is ******* vile and unprofessional.

  • HarrisonKent1 Harrison (@HarrisonKent1) reported from Mayland, England

    @ThreeUKSupport just had a fraud alert saying my details are on the black market & they have my Three password & now My3 is apparently down for maintenance. What has happened, have you been hacked?

  • HarrisonKent1 Harrison (@HarrisonKent1) reported from Mayland, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi, I’ve got no signal at CM36EJ & I’ve checked on your website & it says the site is currently being upgraded, does this mean I’ll finally have 4G. Also, what timeframe can I expect before I get signal again?

  • dan_upson Daniel Upson (@dan_upson) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @ThreeUKSupport signal in chelmsford absolutely shocking. been without use of my phone for 2 hours. trying to work. ffs no internet nothing. what's the point in having a phone when only use on this network is wifi

  • dan_upson Daniel Upson (@dan_upson) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @ThreeUKSupport got no home wifi/ no internet on 4g ipad and 3g only on my iphone. ffs every week now. sort out the network. £100+ quid a month i'm paying for a service that drops all the time

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported from Little Baddow, England

    @8CW @ThreeUKSupport Three seems to be under-resourced in the UK. Some industry insiders are surprised it works at all. At least it could make more of an effort to keep users updated during an outage.

  • JheySL2 Jhey (@JheySL2) reported

  • JordanWhitt_ Whitt (@JordanWhitt_) reported

    @ThreeUK honestly mean this in the least rude way possible but if you don’t improve your signal I am not paying for the rest of my contract I am in Southampton city centre and cannot get signal when I’m in a restaurant or even in my flat which is still in the city centre. Joke

  • JheySL2 Jhey (@JheySL2) reported

    @Ricey871 @ThreeUKSupport Maybe coincidence since the firmware update but yeah since Saturday, it doesn't connect to 5g network, only 3g. they said it's 5g congestion, no talks about credit tho

  • StefanoCorrao Stefano Corrao (@StefanoCorrao) reported

    @ThreeUK upgraded my contract last year and never made me aware of new charges coming into effect on May the 23rd. Useless calls to your customers centre... New case for the Ombudsman, what a huge disappointment after more than 10 years.. Appalled 😠

  • Ricey871 James (@Ricey871) reported

    @JheySL2 @ThreeUKSupport I called support yesterday, they said it’s an ‘undeclared issue’ as they had lots of complaints since Saturday about it and tier 3 engineers are looking into it? they did refund/credit me 7 days service
