Liam Hutchinson (@liamhutchins0n) reported from Brentwood, England@cadybonser @RebeccaZoe @ThreeUK Don’t tweet. All you do is embarrass yourself. Compensation for a few hours of no service. 🤣🤣🤣 Get over your privilege.
-
Lily Smith (@LilyMaeSmith_) reported from Basildon, EnglandRemind me to never go with @ThreeUKSupport again 😤😤
-
Peter Mabbutt (@HypnoPeter) reported from Rochford, England@ThreeUKSupport No problem. It was more the fact that no one let me know. No text, email or phone call after having had a text and email saying I had to be in that day
-
Lisa Gridley (@LisaG75) reported from Wickford, England@ThreeUK very upsetting calls last night from a call centre claiming to be from Three offering upgrade deals. When I said I wasn't interested man kept ringing back in different numbers and swearing down the phone. Presume not your staff but you not sure if outsourced call centre?
-
Daniel Upson (@dan_upson) reported from Chelmsford, England@ThreeUKSupport got no home wifi/ no internet on 4g ipad and 3g only on my iphone. ffs every week now. sort out the network. £100+ quid a month i'm paying for a service that drops all the time
-
💥 Mᴀx’ᴅMᴇʀᴄ ❖ Gαvlαr💥 (@MaxdMerc) reported from Hockley, England@ThreeUKSupport It used to be good. They did some work in the area and it’s been bad ever since. Have contacted customer services already who say now the service is less in the area. Outside is a bit better but not a great deal.
-
Daniel Upson (@dan_upson) reported from Chelmsford, England@ThreeUK trying to access my3 mobile number correct, forgotten password i never receive the email to reset
-
Dan Vitale (@danvitale) reported from Takeley, England@ThreeUKSupport I have already had a discount applied, I do not want more as I’d like to see the issue fixed. Like I mentioned, Three is the only fast internet option here so cancelling won’t help too. The only way Three can help would be to fix the capacity issue.

tony mcdonnell (@toan1e) reported from Basildon, England@ThreeUKSupport It's mobile broadband and has a good password normally don't have a problem and the download speed is very slow have complained a number of times yet some how its run out

Dan Vitale (@danvitale) reported from Takeley, England@ThreeUK No point pimping new phones if your network is not up to it.
-
Fiona Chapman**••..** (@fchaps68) reported from Brentwood, England@SophieEB @giffgaff @ThreeUK Giffgaff is great and when u go abroad I just buy a local sim and you still use your UK number on wats app. So much cheaper!Obviously only works if your phone is not locked to a particular network tho! X
-
Jennifer Johnson (@ThisIsJennykins) reported from Basildon, EnglandFuming with @ThreeUK right now. Been on hold/passed around for 1 hour and 40 mins so far and still counting...Shocking customer service. Clearly, being a loyal customer with 4 contracts doesn't make much of a difference 🤬😠 #three #ThingsWeShouldCancel
-
Dan Vitale (@danvitale) reported from Takeley, England@GetMeAManager @ThreeUKSupport I am aware of that. However, a major airport near me recently had Three 5g coverage enabled, roughly at the same time my issues started. What does that tell you?
-
Daniel Upson (@dan_upson) reported from Chelmsford, England@ThreeUK be good if you get a signal on three
-
Peter Mabbutt (@HypnoPeter) reported from Hockley, England@ThreeUK I have been waiting in for my upgrade phone to arrive based on info in the email you sent and info in my account. Just phoned to say I hadn’t had the text with my consignment number only to be told phone won’t be delivered until 9 December. Terrible communication. 😡

Kimberley (@MissKimKH) reported@ThreeUKSupport why on Earth am I paying you so much money for unlimited data on 2 different devices when the internet is hardly ever useable?! Absolutely shocking service, I've been a customer for over 13 years and this is just diabolical lately!!
-
Ell💕 (@MrSteveBerman) reported@ThreeUK Your customer service team is actually so impolite it’s ridiculous. Train them better please
-
Sir Richard B-H-Soame 13th BT (@SOAMER) reportedIf you live in north Shropshire don’t have a Moblie contract with @SMARTYMobileUK or @ThreeUK their network is overloaded they have no more capacity and there is no work planned to solve the problem @HelenMorganMP why do we have to put up with such a bad Moblie service
-
Rob Welford (@rob_welford) reported@ThreeUK ok,stop *************** before I cancel my direct debit,why haven’t you activated my roaming pass when I’ve still got 70 days left?
-
ES (@ewa_swital16945) reported@ThreeUK I have been scammed through 3 Pay and Three withdrew money from my account knowing about the fraud. I keep reporting the fraud to customer services and nothing has been done to address it. Three consciously enable fraud!
-
Dave (@djt81) reported@ThreeUKSupport it's 2026 and the service is absolutely diabolical!! Fifteen minutes worth of scrambled phone calls just to tell someone a phone number. Sort it out
-
Rizwan Ali (@rizwanalihaidr) reported@ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUKSupport frustrating. This situation is causing me serious stress. If this is not resolved immediately with a full explanation and refund of any incorrect charges, I will proceed with cancelling all my services and escalating this complaint further.
-
Kitty Coco (@BambieBambini) reported@ThreeUK Warning for 3 PAYG Users They cut off my service and kept my remaining credit, claiming no chargeable activity for 6 months, despite a recent call I have the logs on my phone to prove. This is the last time they will rob me. I’m switching to another provider.
-
ShadowBakura_ [Cal] (@ShadowBakura_) reported@ThreeUKSupport since joining my signal has been awful - locked in for another 18 months is there any work around to this ?
-
Ruth Seager (@ruthseag) reported@ThreeUK terrible customer service. I have wasted at least 4 and a half hours talking on the phone with no progress. Got cut off, no phone back, waited in queues and got told that they can’t make any guarantees. After 18 years as a customer…I think it’s time to make a switch…
