    @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 (@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!

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi, I’ve got no signal at CM36EJ today

    @ThreeUK That's is wrong because I just turned my phone off and then on again still no signal

  • 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

  • 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?

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

    @ThreeUK trying to access my3 mobile number correct, forgotten password i never receive the email to reset

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

    @ThreeUK i see all the 5g network advertisement but i can't even get decent 4g in the middle of chelmsford city cm2

  • 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.

  • KevinWilko Kevin Wilkins (@KevinWilko) reported from Ford End, England

    @ThreeUK My Mother has severe Dementia and has not used her phone for at least 18 months we stopped payments and told you to cancel the phone we have sent proof of her Dementia in a Doctors letter, you won’t accept this as she didn’t send it what part of Dementia do you 1/2

  • 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?

  • AdamLewisBull AdamLewisBull (@AdamLewisBull) reported from Braintree, England

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

  • mikemackay Mike Mackay (@mikemackay) reported from Witham, England

    @ThreeUK Any idea or ETA on eSim support at all? 🙏🏻

  • 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.

  • ThisIsTomFair Tom Fair (@ThisIsTomFair) reported

    @BethanMcConnell @ThreeUK The way it’s *supposed* to happen is automatic - you’ll get a text telling you when your phone has connected to a foreign network - what happens next depends on your provider (ie. 3 charges £2 a day for access to your regular data abroad) I’d ring up and check beforehand though

  • flyinghigh2000 Iᗩᑎ  (@flyinghigh2000) reported

    @wgardner101 @ThreeUK @O2 I’ve always been pleased with Three but the reception on the Fylde coast is dreadful. I’ve noticed no difference with 5G so I’m not fussed about that. Time to change network 📱

  • Tredders Mark Tredgold (@Tredders) reported

    @EE Hi guys, just completed my order to join you, after the nightmare that was @ThreeUK! Could someone please contact me about my order, as I have a question, and your support phone number doesn’t recognise my number yet (hasn’t been ported over yet). Thx

  • EddieOK4 Eddie OK (@EddieOK4) reported

    @Daily_Record This is weird as I'm sure @ThreeUK are able to activate roaming on android devices therefore trying to get more money from customers, even though the customer has disabled the roaming option.

  • Baby_Lisa_19 Lisa Gillies (@Baby_Lisa_19) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m not getting any service no signal

  • ElisandroBrusc1 Lele Bruscato (@ElisandroBrusc1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport the problem is that they can't recover my number, when they go to do the procedure to replace the sim card they can't and they ask for another 4 days, and when I go back to the store the problem has not been solved

  • Mr_Ts_Catering Tony (@Mr_Ts_Catering) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi Charley. Happened in two different areas. Curious to know why the callers cannot leave a message, or does that rely on our signal, which I have to say 'looks' OK and other mobiles can get through...??

  • Mr_Ts_Catering Tony (@Mr_Ts_Catering) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi. We've recently been told on several occasions that calls to our 3 mobile numbers have not been connected with the message "your call cannot be continued." It then hangs the call and doesn't allow messages to be left. This despite having perfectly good signal.

  • GalaLeon1905 Gala➊➒∞➎ 🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@GalaLeon1905) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @ThreeUK Hi, I am trying to cancel my contract but I don’t have the sim anymore and it is text me the security code so I can’t log in. Live chat is also not working please help me

  • evjohnson1 Ev Johnson (@evjohnson1) reported

    @ThreeUK why is it not £5 a day dataroaming passport BUT £25 to turn data on to activate it. Making it a minimum of £30 a day. Bad news when your CSA advises buying a local SIM in Turkey.
