    @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?

    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

    2e0mnh (@HarveyMnh1972) reported from Tiptree, England

    @ThreeUK this is ridiculous I can't get online I have tried your 'live chat' and tried calling with no help my 14 days Cooling off period is now over too and I cant cancel my phone without a charge this is a shambles I need to speak to someone!

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Daniel Upson (@dan_upson) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @ThreeUK be good if you get a signal on three

    @ThreeUKSupport can you please explain why your signal is rubbish in TN33 0XX it was so good but now it’s awful. I pay for a service. If you can’t deliver I will cancel my contract and go elsewhere

  • michaelfromuk
    Mike Flint from the UK (@michaelfromuk) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Not been able to receive any text/sms messages since Monday. As a result, can't login to bank and missed GP appointment. When will issue be fixed? Status shows "there's a problem' but no useful info.

    @ThreeUKSupport 2 weeks ago I returned from China, having visited 9 city’s in 4 months, not once did I ever lose phone signal with my Chinese network provider - yet here I am on a train from Kent to London with my @ThreeUK signal dropping out! This useless bloody country!! 😡😡

  • djt81
    Dave (@djt81) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport it's 2026 and the service is absolutely diabolical!! Fifteen minutes worth of scrambled phone calls just to tell someone a phone number. Sort it out

    @ThreeUK Your internet is dog **** your customer service is even worse you offer lies an false promises

  • elektramonster
    Danielle (@elektramonster) reported

    @ThreeUK As your signal is getting consistently worse, we were pleased to find that we could use Vodafone when 3uk isn't working (most of the time where we are currently) however it says Vodafone is a forbidden network! Can you explain this please?

  • MiaxKempster
    mia (@MiaxKempster) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport customer support on live chat is shocking. SIM card didn’t arrive in the envelope, so contacted as it says on the envelope, and will not send a replacement due to “incurring the credit limit” I have said it didn’t arrive, so nobody should be spending any money!

  • ruthseag
    Ruth Seager (@ruthseag) reported

    @ThreeUK terrible customer service. I have wasted at least 4 and a half hours talking on the phone with no progress. Got cut off, no phone back, waited in queues and got told that they can’t make any guarantees. After 18 years as a customer…I think it’s time to make a switch…
