  • ItinerantHam John - M0IDA (@ItinerantHam) reported from Colchester, England

    @ThreeUKSupport That won't work i was told. My contract will be extended to cover the extra day as i am bound to give exactly 30 days notice. This is what i was told today and is the essence of my complaint.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport still no signal what is going on

  • ItinerantHam John - M0IDA (@ItinerantHam) reported from Colchester, England

    @ThreeUKSupport signal report for you. CO1 1LN- 1 bar of 4g. Can't even load a simple web page. Its the town centre #MustTryHarder

  • SuePownall Sue Pownall Artist (@SuePownall) reported from Bures Saint Mary, England

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

  • ade_dehinbo Ade Dehinbo (@ade_dehinbo) reported from Colchester, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Please have the decency to read the feed properly before asking daft questions ... as I have already stated I never cancelled anything, I merely informed you that as of the 18/9 (the date my contract finished) I no longer wished to be use your services! Nothing more nothing less

  • malcolmduke5 Malcolm Duke (@malcolmduke5) reported from Jaywick, England

    @ThreeUKSupport LTE is slow 3G is a bit better and it’s only mobile internet and I have done all the tricks are restarting.

  • SherbetKirsty Kirsty : Polkabops (@SherbetKirsty) reported from Great Bromley, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’d be grateful if you could Charley. We have been sent a very large bill for a line that we were told had been cancelled. We’ve had a catalogue of problems & in October the whole issue was escalated to a manager who cancelled everything as a good will gesture, I don’t get it!

  • Gavrielo Gav Amante (@Gavrielo) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Hi @ThreeUK my 4g is super slow too. No excuse as I live in town and full signal. I tested on an o2 and much speedier. I will be leaving as soon as my contract ends in October.

  • 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

  • Ladysherb Amanda (@Ladysherb) reported from Alresford, England

    @ThreeUKSupport a new phone was supposed to be delivered today. DPD say 3 requested it back. Live chat says call, call centre says closed and use live chat. Can someone help please

  • ttb1965 TB (@ttb1965) reported

    @Go_SYH_In_A_Pig @ThreeUK @tescomobile Our Tescomobile went off 8 mins late. Android was spot on. The Tesco mobile network is of concern. You could be left behind!

  • AshleyB53667321 Ashley Brown (@AshleyB53667321) reported

    @lee_osgi @ThreeUK My partner's phone went off my three network phone didn't she said I'm safe you're not!!

  • NadWGab Nadine, Hunter of Rocks 💎 (@NadWGab) reported

    @jolyonralph @ThreeUK Possibly, that's my network too

  • SamuelGeorgeCl1 Samuel George (@SamuelGeorgeCl1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport why did I not get a notification for the emergency test? Seems to be everyone who uses the Three network has not had one. Think I'll be changing network tomorrow!

  • acp Andrew Poole (@acp) reported

    So it looks like the Emergency Alert test confirms that @ThreeUK / @ThreeUKSupport can't be depended on in an Emergency. Not seen any reports of anyone on networks based on Three's having got the test alert this afternoon.

  • Sally_Chapple Sally Chapple (@Sally_Chapple) reported

    @ThreeUK is there a reason your customers didn't get the test alert? Hopefully we never need it!

  • SquireKatie katie wright (@SquireKatie) reported

    @ThreeUK why didn't I get my emergency alert? Apparently Three had an issue as a network? Not comforting.

  • Smudge1208 Me (@Smudge1208) reported

    @scots_cyclist @ThreeUKSupport You’re definitely in the minority - lot of people on the network didn’t get it.

  • BrentTurkiye Brent (@BrentTurkiye) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Can you please notify me why myself and my family did not receive the recent emergency alert? Strong connections and yes, my settings were switched on to allow the message?

  • Albertuk83 Alan Webb (@Albertuk83) reported

    @zeitgeistlondon @ThreeUK Will @ThreeUK give us customers a free upgrade or half price for 12 months for allowing us all to die in a national emergency lol
