  • mapey Chris Mapey (@mapey) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Have you got internet issues today? My businesses can’t connect to any data service in IP4 or CO2 this morning. Was working, now multiple devices cannot connect

  • 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

  • selwoodsarah Sarah (@selwoodsarah) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m traveling 2 Greece & have been told internet switches to Turkish network. How do I stop this, I don’t want to spend anything outside my tariff.

  • 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!

  • marccasheppard Marc Sheppard (@marccasheppard) reported from Colchester, England

    Hi @ThreeUK We have 3 different accounts and going on holiday soon and want to up spending limits to cover roaming costs. Option to up spending limit not showing on any account. Is there an issue on your website? Marc

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • fayedicksonxo 𝐅𝐚𝐲𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐨𝐧 🖤 (@fayedicksonxo) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Cannot fault @ThreeUK Broke my phone, was too much to fix. Called up to cancel my contract as it would cost less to do that than to fix or buy a new phone and they upgraded my phone to a new iPhone, really good deal and no early upgrade fee. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻

  • 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

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

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

  • briandsloan Brian Sloan (@briandsloan) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I did an online chat and resolved the issue.

  • red666s Dave Wood (@red666s) reported

    @ThreeUK when completing my phone software update must I go through the utter bollox of saying no to all the **** apps you want to install on my device??

  • beepspatch Beeps (she/her) (@beepspatch) reported

    @ThreeUK thanks for making my car breakdown saga infinitely worse with your appalling signal in the CH1 area. I've been hung up on multiple times over the last 5.5 hours because people can't hear me

  • consumer_expert Consumer Law Expert (@consumer_expert) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Apparently they're not able to. Probably the same reason for you not being able to help with my complaint.

  • MarlinMarymay Mm Marlin (@MarlinMarymay) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport can you please help as my Internet on my phone keeps saying cannot connect to server. Keeps happening.

  • AlexJive Alexander Kenneth Martin Douglas (@AlexJive) reported

    @EE Used to be on EE for years. Customer service was so terrible it was affecting my business so switched to @ThreeUK. No trouble with them at all.

  • theotherclaire1 theotherclaire🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 (@theotherclaire1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks for the reply, I'm paying for unlimited and don't have much success at 4g. Will try 3g but don't think that's the answer I'm looking for. Will be asking in the area what providers are best to use. Clearly three are having trouble.

  • NOOSHADM Anushka Mahendran 🐙 (@NOOSHADM) reported

    @ThreeUK Hi! I am at the end of my tether with Three! It is a simple request that I have made about 10 times with 5 different customer service staff over the last 3 weeks so that I can file my insurance claim. TO NO AVAIL. Please can I speak to someone on the phone....

  • sambartle Sam Bartle (@sambartle) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi Finn.. I should have been clearer. It does work if I update it in My3, it just doesn't work if you make a selection during an online upgrade when prompted.

  • northern_grumpy GrumpyNorthernBastard (@northern_grumpy) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Have rebooted and reset. This means that all connected devices have to be reconnected. I am now recording speeds of 10 mbps. Not brilliant but useable. I don’t expect miracles but have to reboot twice an evening to get any sort of service.

  • jamespurdy3 J.P (@jamespurdy3) reported

    @LeanneCoates1 @ThreeUK @EE In end told them I wanted to leave and would pay any the additional costs to get out of the contract and they were nice enough to waive the fees due to the issues.
