  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

    @ThreeUK be good if you get a signal on three

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @ThreeUKSupport still no signal what is going on

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

    @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

  • 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

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • grahambunting Graham Bunting (@grahambunting) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Had to switch my device to 3g only to connect just now. This is a regular occurrence where I live in Stevenage SG2. What's the current issue please?

  • PedroClarke1 Peter Clarke (@PedroClarke1) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @Gabeuk @ThreeUK Fair. While I agree that some of the 5G Monopole designs are egregious for certain street scenes, I have trouble devising something better with massively compromising on capability. Although there is an argument that more of less could work better...

  • MicheleAaen Michele Aaen (@MicheleAaen) reported

    @ThreeUK trying to resolve an issue with you since December to move to sim only. First request by email. Customer service refusing to help and hang up every call. (More than 15 so far) What a dodgy company!

  • EliTheWright Eli Corry-Wrong (@EliTheWright) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Your 4G is absolutely appalling. Next time I change my phone contract, I am going to favour the more expensive contract with better 4G elsewhere than the cheaper Three UK contract. P.S This was sent using Wi-Fi because your 4G is crap.

  • VJOsgood Vicky Osgood (@VJOsgood) reported

    @ThreeUK totally appreciate you need to do network upgrades, but we've got no internet in our home through our phones, but perfect signal at the end of our road. It's making it impossible to work from home. How do I find out when signal will be back?

  • WarrenHeal Warren Heal (@WarrenHeal) reported

    @ThreeUK problem with your network in the St Albans/Harpenden area. Your overseas call centre says there isn’t. After number of calls with Apple & researching online, data only works properly when switch to 3G. Please look in to this as this is not the service we pay for. Thx.

  • Cas_Roop Cas 🇬🇾🏳️‍🌈 (@Cas_Roop) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Yup. No issues in my area according to your systems. Yet so many people are complaining on various server status websites.

  • don_howarth Mark Howarth (@don_howarth) reported

    @ThreeUK Can someone help? I cancelled my account with you yesterday and have requested a PAC code but still haven’t received it. I called up your customer service and they said I would have to call back in another 3 days. Isn’t this against UK regulations?

  • Gabeuk Gabriel Brown (@Gabeuk) reported

    @PedroClarke1 @ThreeUK One of the problems with approval is the "cowboy" nature of the applications. A monopole near us was refused recently (thankfully). It was obvious to anyone it was inappropriate. The industry doesn't do itself any favours.

  • 2mbit Ben Thomas (@2mbit) reported

    @PedroClarke1 @Gabeuk @ThreeUK It's an architectural culture problem more than anything else. As they stand now, monopole designs are completely utilitarian, when really there's wide opportunity for style. Consider victorian-era street lamps as an example of this.
