    @ThreeUKSupport Hmm. That sounds like a very standard excuse for the network behaviour I see pretty much 24:7 across the country - it suggests your network isn’t up to scratch

  • MTraill
    Michael Traill (@MTraill) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport Has not resolved the issue

  • KyleSlorance
    Kyle Slorance (@KyleSlorance) reported from Musselburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport The signal hasn’t been great since Thursday morning and 3G isn’t much better due to the Mifi hub being indoors

    @ThreeUKSupport It’s all good Kim, panic over I switched the phone off and on again problem solved lol

  • paulforsyth7867
    Paul Forsyth (@paulforsyth7867) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport @Rpearson081 The 999 calls connected then disconnected after I asked for the emergency service I wanted. Got a bleep tone and a message on the screen saying Network error. I tried 3 times and gave up. Police eventually called me as there were 3 lost calls and thought I was needing help.

    @ThreeUK hi there, are there issues in edinburgh eh6? my work router keeps kicking me off the network and saying incorrect passwords

  • gm8arv
    David Taylor (@gm8arv) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @daveake @ThreeUKSupport Until recently the app Three provided allowed checking of data allowance if you were in mobile data mode on the iPad. No problem! The the app was updated “to work in Wi-Fi mode as well”. That’s when all the problems started, requiring a password and an incoming text.

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

  • RTPeat
    Richard Peat  (@RTPeat) reported from Kinghorn, Scotland

    @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.

  • aberquine

    Anyone else on @ThreeUKSupport got No Service?! I’m in Edinburgh EH11. #ThreeUKdown

    Stephanie Ashford (@steph_ashford) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport are there network issues in EH11 2NQ? My WiFi signal is so bad, it's not even registering on a speed test and it's greatly affecting me being able to work.

  • Scottc79
    Scott Campbell (@Scottc79) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Have just spent the most hofficially infuriating few minutes of my life trying to string together a conversation with some absolute moron in your joke of a call centre. You guys must work tirelessly to attain such Herculean levels of abject service.

  • ianwsmith82
    Ian Smith (@ianwsmith82) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

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

  • paulforsyth7867
    Paul Forsyth (@paulforsyth7867) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @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.

  • shadlx
    Richard Williamson (@shadlx) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ThreeUKSupport @AndrewCruzeUK As can how rubbish your network provider is

  • paulforsyth7867
    Paul Forsyth (@paulforsyth7867) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Rpearson081 @RangersBoy8877 @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport @SkyHelpTeam @WhatsApp I want to change providers as the signal is very poor to no signal at all and that is when am in the open. Can't do this until 2021 so Three better improve or provide a reduced bill for a service am not getting.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport Hello. I have an ongoing router issue & spoken with someone on the phone, who's running tests & getting back to me next week. Now I'm getting an APN connection error, have zero WiFi in EH11 2NQ & the system thinks I've not paid my bill, which was taken on 2 Nov.

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

    @DMcGillivray2 @ThreeUK @Ofcom I had to threaten to report them to Ofcom Don as they guy was constantly asking me questions. He said he had never refused to give me the PAC code but just wasn’t getting round to it, demanding to know which phone, how much etc.

  • 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.

    @ThreeUKSupport Huawei AI cube keeps losing signal. It's pain in the ass.

    @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK seriously what are doing with the network in Cambridgeshire?

  • DavidCl88428325
    David Clarke (@DavidCl88428325) reported

    This has been a continual issue of network loss and instabillity in the bt54 area, why?, are other areas more important than rural coastal areas? Why are we being cut off continually? @ThreeUKSupport

  • mimiheart29
    nipplebuffet (@mimiheart29) reported

    @ThreeUK you have the worst customer service, I’m the phone with yall right now and the agent just left the call without any explanation??

  • robj3d3
    Rob Hallam (@robj3d3) reported

    @IMAC2 @ThreeUK That sucks man. There's no way to go back to your own country just for the sake of a SIM. Funny thing is my provider has plenty of coverage in Vietnam, they just choose to be a pain @ThreeUK

  • mjb8028
    Mark Bush (@mjb8028) reported

    @ThreeUK issue with new phone order and not getting anywhere with the live chat. Was ordered earlier in the week with the “Saturday All Day” extra charge however it turns out it was apparently attempted delivery on Thursday and Friday this week. You aren’t taking any

  • BritainAnon
    BritainAnon (@BritainAnon) reported

    @ThreeUK and @VodafoneUK are you aware at how bad the 4G and 5G is in Luton, specifically the whole of the town centre? It’s not about “coverage” but the lack of speed and the completely congested network you both have. You’re making millions from this town, please upgrade it!

  • Saurav
    SG (@Saurav) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Absolutely awful service. Signed a new contract and your bill has come for triple the amount. I've been told by your agent he will fix the bill, over a month later nothing! Now he is ignoring all emails. And one of my lines is facing connectivity issues! AWFUL!

  • lyeuhm
    Sassy (@lyeuhm) reported

    @stevejh1973 @ThreeUK did you ever get your wifi calling working? mines been out for about two weeks now and nothing i do seems to fix it! it’s infuriating

  • jimmysunny85
    jimmy (@jimmysunny85) reported

    @ThreeUK sold me a dodgey phone that now the battery swells and has basically become a bomb! I have told them this since August 2025 so nearly a year and they taking zero responsibility!! This is the customer service they provide as long as you pay them all is well!! Stay clear

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Bruh ee never cancelled me I've been out the UK for 4 years. If you mobile supports it fastest option is get an esim install and app and register and you have number with data, SMS and calls in minutes you'll find global guys and local guys worth doing some window shopping
