    @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!

    @ThreeUK , i have tried for 10 days to transfer a number to you. Multiple messages on twitter and your company cannot help me. Disappointed doesn’t begin to cover it.

    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?

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

  • 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.

    . @ThreeUK not only is coverage bad but you've now discontinued the wifi app so I have no service at home. #timetochange #mobile

    @ThreeUK you will NEVER know peace. How can you be doing works in the area, not inform me but then tell me “it’s taking longer than usual” my payment will be taking longer than usual. These man are some cruffs.

    rawkingcoconutwater (@rawkingcoconut) reported

    @ThreeUK Why is your coverage strength on your signals so poor , people pay for 5g ans yet no service at all in central areas , are you scamming customers by selling a product you can’t offer , authorities should shut you down take action against your company

  • gio120uk
    Gio120uk (@gio120uk) reported

    How do I speak to a human at 3 to pay my bill,the customer service and app is absolutely useless @ThreeUKSupport

  • LuvSeekinTruth
    LovinTruth (@LuvSeekinTruth) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport What kind of provider has online chat and the chat agent ends the conversation because they can't deal with the problem and then makes sure the transcript is blank? Three guesses?

  • jle2386
    Jon ✨💫 (@jle2386) reported

    @robj3d3 @MatthewFoxAF @ThreeUK You need to leave it active. Next time buy a cheap phone (not smart phone) plug it in and leave it activate. All networks do this it's not new. Since you didn't have it in s phone the network didn't pick up a signal so it automatically thinks its inactive.

  • FoxRunTime

    still better service quality than @threeuk

  • PokeMalarkeyUK
    PokéMalarkey (@PokeMalarkeyUK) reported

    I am trying to cancel a phone contract. Your live chat keeps kicking me out as soon as I tell them that I don't want a "better deal". Why won't you let me cancel this? Surely this isn't legal? @ThreeUKSupport
