    @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

  • 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?

  • LouLuiScope eBayScope (@LouLuiScope) reported from Braintree, 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • HarveyMnh1972 2e0mnh (@HarveyMnh1972) reported from Tiptree, England

    @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

    @ThreeUK network is a complete joke. paying for a service i barry have access too. and even when i do it's stupidly slow

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

    @ThreeUKSupport having terrible signal in chelmsford CM20DY literally one second it's decent next it's not

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • HarveyMnh1972 2e0mnh (@HarveyMnh1972) reported from Tiptree, England

  • 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?

  • KevinFordham kevin fordham 💙💛 (@KevinFordham) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Don’t know about speed as it’s my phone signal. About 2 weeks. Where ever I go it’s poor

  • pax681 Pax (@pax681) reported

    @dazj72 @ThreeUK Darren Jones - Get a grip you whining, entitled *****! Big whoop, a tech company has technical issues. All Tech companies have issues. They will fix it in good time as is normal. You however can't be fixed and will always be a whining, entitled, *******.

  • StuartR69254283 Stuart Richardson 🍻 (@StuartR69254283) reported

    @motorolaUK It's okay it was a fault with the @ThreeUK network and it was just coincidence I had just had an android update. Thanks for replying

  • _Hughes_T Hughes (@_Hughes_T) reported

    @kendallrowanx @ThreeUKSupport I had similar issues when I had one of these. Ended up returning it but took months to resolve.

  • Coltzie Coltzie (@Coltzie) reported

    @ThreeUK wifi calling still down on android

  • Carlo14601 Carl (@Carlo14601) reported

    @agent_outside @ThreeUK Their duty is to fix it. Your number can be randomly generated in the same manner this issue occurred. If everyone is so bothered by it just raise a formal complaint. It’ll no doubt be dismissed unless you specifically claim distress and inconvenience

  • Antmagnet 🤘🤘Eamonn ‘Amarth’ McGrath 🇮🇪 (@Antmagnet) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport NR18 0UY. I barely dip into 4G when at home and almost never when walking the dog.

  • c_h_pugh Christopher Pugh (@c_h_pugh) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport My service provider has removed a nearby mast, causing reception problems on my simple 2G phone. I am considering your network (on PAYG). If I buy a 3G phone, how much longer will you support the 3G network before it is decommissioned in favour of 4G/5G? Thank you

  • trainfanmatt Matt (@trainfanmatt) reported

    @paulmai @ThreeUK Of course if it was a data breach, then that's more serious. However, no-one claiming this has any proof such a thing occurred & it could just have been a network malfunction sending calls all over the place. I don't think getting all wound up over what might be is helpful

  • trainfanmatt Matt (@trainfanmatt) reported

    @paulmai @ThreeUK My point about being 'wound up' is that there's literally nothing to suggest we should be concerned about a data breach as there wasn't last night. 3 have confirmed all is working again & haven't mentioned a breach which I'm sure they would to enable customer to react
