    Michael (@TheMichael84) reported from Gorebridge, Scotland

    @ThreeUK do you have any plans to improve signal around Midlothian & Edinburgh? I get 1 bar max, and despite saying I have a 4G connection nothing loads. If nothing changes I'll be forced to change providers.

  • steph_ashford
    Stephanie Ashford (@steph_ashford) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport There's no issue with the payment. I've been with you around 16 years and had zero issues using all you can eat data on my phone, since I downgraded my plan & got your mobile WiFi I've had nothing but problems with my connections.

    @Rpearson081 @RangersBoy8877 @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Three are shocking and have a terrible signal coverage. I had to make a 999 call three times only to be cut off each time as no signal. Thankfully someone else called for the ambulance and the heart attack patient survived.

    @Three_Is_Broken @ThreeUK Usually not too bad around Edinburgh but today when I got over the hill and the phone swapped to an Edinburgh mast it just stopped routing to the internet.

    @ThreeUKSupport your services are down again in EH6 area of Edinburgh.. Im lucky if I can get 1.0 Mbps SORT IT PLEASE

  • Johnmhunt
    John M Hunt (@Johnmhunt) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    I spoke online to @threeuk and also a shop and the deal wasn’t anywhere near as good as @O2 so now moved 2 of the 3 phones on Three to O2. These questions to “help you” obviously don’t make any difference as it’s still the same deal being offered when I moved the last one. 2/2

    Russell Smith (@RussellSmith07) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Horrendous lack of customer service from @ThreeUKSupport completely faceless and unwilling if to provide support despite an issue being their error. I would appreciate a message back.

    @ThreeUKSupport my 4g is down and I need it for my job, this is a joke £100 a month and for the service to be down

  • beaton_bruce
    Bruce J Beaton (@beaton_bruce) reported from Queensferry, Scotland

    @CarDealerEd @vertumotors Great interview. Been stuck all day with 10% wifi then @ThreeUK went down! Now catching up. The reason I invest in VTU is Robert. It's like buying £10💷 notes for £6.80 at the moment. A dividend would be nice but sure VTU will double up next year as a goodwill gesture

    @Barriestweeting @VodafoneUK @ThreeUK best for customer service in my opinion.

    @ThreeUKSupport why ask me to do a survey with text replies then charge me for the replies. Honestly that's pretty poor.

    Never been more happy about having a dual SIM phone, o2 I dunno what's going on with your wifi but its shocking in these parts, THREE you've not been much better. But you're working now. @ThreeUK @O2

  • steph_ashford
    Stephanie Ashford (@steph_ashford) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport I've also tried turning the phone off and on and switching to airplane mode and back. Having no issues across town at my work, so know it's not the phone.

  • JonInEdinburgh
    Jon (@JonInEdinburgh) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Nate_Brady @ThreeUKSupport Will do. It does seem to new customers who are having the same issue. I only joined on Thursday. I’ve uninstalled the app for now and will try downloading it again in a few days. I don’t have much faith it’ll work though!

  • Alfiedog9
    Alfiedog (@Alfiedog9) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport This doesn’t address any of the issues raised by the Swiss. Sorry. You know the risks but you’re only interested in £$€. The problem is, your greed is my risk.

  • steph_ashford
    Stephanie Ashford (@steph_ashford) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport It's not my phone, it's the WiFi. I've rebooted the router multiple times this morning & if I'm lucky I'll connect for 20-30mins, then it's gone again. This god awful home WiFi is the worst thing I've ever experienced and will be why I leave you when my contract is up.

  • john_rafa
    Joao R. Carraro (@john_rafa) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Very slow connection as shown on the speed test. A friend also on three is experiencing the same. It's as bad as yesterday. Just improved in the evening. Can't load anything.

    Kevin (@kevocateur) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ICTman1076 @ThreeUK Was glad to be rid of Three, the worst performing network in my area for 3G/4G speeds. Would rate their 5G service, but there isn't one where I live in Edinburgh city centre. The fastest I ever got was 1.5Mb/s. A network built for 2003!

  • ROSS_G3LL3R
    naomi (@ROSS_G3LL3R) reported

    @ThreeUK is there a reason why I pay for unlimited everything and have paid for my go roam passes for you to not let me use them? Really helpful when I’m driving across Italy without anyway of mapping or googling locations. As a customer of 18 years I’m not very happy

  • JustinBarker77
    Justin Barker (@JustinBarker77) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport why is there no signal at OL15 0DE? Disappeared since the Vodafone merge. Can’t even make WiFi calls have to use WhatsApp

  • omnishredder_
    Omni (@omnishredder_) reported

    @ThreeUK random query, after putting my current SIM in my mifi device I bought, would it be cheaper to have a SIM only for calls and texts and one purely for data or stick with the one SIM? Existing customer on SIM only roughly £30 a month

  • Carlz94x
    CARLZ (@Carlz94x) reported

    @ThreeUK terrible network!! Never no signal! Sort it out !!!

  • SuttonThings

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Three are a terrible company, I had a similar issue! Same with Vodafone too. I had to go back to the UK just to get it working again

  • xeode

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK known people with a uk number out of the uk for years, wonder when this policy started, or they just wanted an excuse to cancel your account?

    @ThreeUKSupport I've received an email today saying you've passed my account to debt collectors, for a bill I've already paid, that isn't due until 8th June. I've tried using the online complaints form which isn't working. Where can I send my formal complaint?

  • Marc_imms
    Marc (@Marc_imms) reported
