  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @ThreeUK Any idea or ETA on eSim support at all? 🙏🏻

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ian_hamilton17 Ian Hamilton (@ian_hamilton17) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks. Is that in plan? issue at moment as my daughter working at a restaurant there and can’t call us to pick her up often after midnight which isn’t good at all. Her plan is under contract until end of this year but currently useless for her and a worry for us.

  • kevkop2014 Kevin knollman (@kevkop2014) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I've tried other phones and it's the network as its happened many times

  • Anthonymannion3 Anthony mannion (@Anthonymannion3) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport My postcode is ub9 6ha only problem is this isn't isolated to just this postcode a40 Westfield is w12 7gf and then there's junction 26 on the m25. Everytime I drive past these points the signal on my phone will show full but the call will go silent.

  • ian_hamilton17 Ian Hamilton (@ian_hamilton17) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks. No there’s no 3G either, she can’t send messages via iMessage or SMS, only option is to try to send via email but that is patchy at best. Will get her to contact via webchat tomorrow. If no service though all I can do is get her a sim plan with another carrier.

  • Gemma_Sabo Gemz (@Gemma_Sabo) reported

    @ThreeUK is anyone else having any problems with service I’ve got no service thank god for the train having WIFI!

  • ImOliverWright Ollie Wright (@ImOliverWright) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport How do I do that? Also, this has been an issue since I joined last month. Is there some way of knowing when the issues will be fixed or am I to just grin and bear it, given I’m on a 2 year contract?

  • Vicky70912901 Vicky H. (@Vicky70912901) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUK are indeed the worst mobile phone company ever. Lied about the three in touch app, always problems, now ppls phones going crazy? Ppl wanting to call thier loved ones and can't, I say go to @EE you'll get brilliant service from them.

  • sk11985 Sarah (@sk11985) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport my HUAWEI home 4G internet is not working. AGAIN. Nor is the separate 4G sim on my ipad I am really not happy. I’m isolated in a care home environment having stable connections is essential.

  • SadieSinner 🏳️‍🌈 Sadie Sinner 🇿🇲 (@SadieSinner) reported

    @Virginmedia I just lost a £££ booking because your internet service has repeat faults and can't even mobile hotspot coz @ThreeUK is as useless and are already refunding me 2 months bills due to service issues. Terminating the contracts with both services, because WHAT?

  • Gstr2021 g.s.t.r 2021 (@Gstr2021) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I've done that time and time again. They always say the signal is ok
