  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @JohnDubyaUK @ThreeUK Yeah they’re all in such a rush to get 5G out, they just seem to have given up on trying to get 4G sorted out. At least show me I’ve got a crap signal, don’t pretend it’s all full speed and awesome.

  • Bubwal Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @RobBruceK @ThreeUK @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK No awful. Just spent 5 days with no data/calls due ti Insufficient bandwidth. My family and friends who were with O2/BT/Vodaphone had no problems. Worst ever. So regret leaving previous provider last month. Their coverage checker is inaccurate too

  • gingio Shane (@gingio) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @jgfoxy @O2 @ThreeUK Good choice! I love being with 3 and find my signal is much better than that on my work phone which is o2.

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport This was in CF83 1XP and it’s been terribly slow for months now.

  • Bubwal Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport @StroopWafel13 Your service at Glastonbury was virtually non existence! No other providers had the issues 3 customers did at Glastonbury!!

  • TicketTattle Andrew Thomas (@TicketTattle) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @omnitix @ThreeUK first 3G only network innit

  • SueLidds Susanne Liddeatt (@SueLidds) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @ThreeUKSupport They have absolutely messed the whole thing up! I have no 4g, no phonecall facility and when I check the plan on the app I seem to have reverted to the old one. Each ‘chat’ tells me it will be ‘perfect and not to worry’ total nightmare! I’m paying for an invisible service

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport No improvement after a restart and I tried 3 different phones so I know it’s not my phone. The phone is on 3G most of the time anyway and it is around the same speed as 4G. The signal is absolutely terrible.

  • SueLidds Susanne Liddeatt (@SueLidds) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @ThreeUKSupport This mornings ‘live chat’ seems to have solved the problem. I will wait to see if I no longer get two contract bills . I live in hope !

  • WildthingJ74 Johnathan Williams (@WildthingJ74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @samboc86 @hockey_laura @Apple @ThreeUK I hate change and I'm sure they bank on being being apprehensive about it. I'm never going back to them

  • Bubwal Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @jaybee_ms Moved to them last month. Advise against it. Data service has been awful. Wish I'd never moved provider. Tried all the main providers and 3 is by far the worst #threeuk #crap

  • KrisheleG Krishele Guzman (@KrisheleG) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Horrible T&Cs usage by @ThreeUK and #Wuntu on their Google Play offer. Tricked me into charging my bill instead of using the offer!!

  • Bubwal Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Exactly the same problem I had with @ThreeUKSupport at #Glastonbury. No service unable to keep in contact with my family both onsite and off. Their coverage checker is false for the vale of avalon area! #ripoff #falseadvertising #threeuk #3

  • jrdnphp jrdn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@jrdnphp) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport This was yesterday mind! I have not tried that, but if I experience it again I’ll switch. I was with a couple of people on 3 who had full 4G signal but no connectivity so am pretty sure it’s not my device, if that helps any!! Thanks

  • ClareO74 Clare Owen (@ClareO74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK Not great service! Look after your loyal customers #loyalcustomersmeannothing 😡

  • MK__C MK (@MK__C) reported from Barry, Wales

    Imagine waiting 30 odd minutes for the upgrades department to then be put to customer service who then says yeah upgrades is down at the moment @ThreeUK 🙃 Legit wasted my time

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Been through this, you won’t check as it’s a business account and the business team never follow up. 2 years ago Caerphilly had around 40mb down now it’s about 4mb down and no one there seems bothered.

  • MartynPreece79 Martyn Preece (@MartynPreece79) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK great if you have no issues, as soon as there’s a problem they give all the bull!! 👎👎👎

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport They said wait a week and try again, and it’s still horrendously slow.

  • KrisheleG Krishele Guzman (@KrisheleG) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @dlever21 @ThreeUK My problem was they added a new condition this time that said if you haven't used it since January. but @ThreeUK ran the offer in May and I used it then. Guaranteed they caught LOADS of people out 😡

  • crazykids48 Danielle Downey (@crazykids48) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I was told I would be receiving a refund of £260 within 14 days of 9th December and it still is not showing!!!! Can you advise when I may receive it. Your customer service is shocking

  • SLCarter201 Sarah Louise Carter (@SLCarter201) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Yet again issues with @ThreeUKSupport ! I stupidly got a sim only contract at the end of my contract and now you’re trying to bill me for my old contract! 6 calls to you guys again and not further forward as per usual.

  • 20gayteenDDL 🌺🌻 (@20gayteenDDL) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi there, I purchased a Huawei mifi box from your Bangor (NW) store a while back, 2 year contract - was promised 50mbs download, have her (18months later) to have above 1mbs and is normally 0.05 or below, not really worth £24 a month when it doesn't work

  • Michael97279463 Michael (@Michael97279463) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Thank you, ordered a replacement. See if that solves the problem.

  • Adetutu0 Queen_adeade (@Adetutu0) reported

    @ThreeUK should cancel people’s payment when their contract ends. But they are happy to keep taking peoples money when they don’t call to cancel their contract. I think this is just stealing people money #threesim #three #stealing

  • manthedarman Dman (@manthedarman) reported

    @ThreeUK checked the website to see if there were issues and it's been fixed, but still don't have mobile data. I've restarted the phone and tried airplane mode. But still nothing. Postcode is SN3 2LZ. Thanks

  • Longwool Longwool (@Longwool) reported

    Do @ThreeUK have the most inept customer support possible? Simple request for a VAT invoice by supplying the order reference number is a seemingly impossible task 😡😡 Note to self and anyone else reading this, avoid dealing with @ThreeUK 👎👎 @ThreeUKSupport

  • SaintSamIAm Samuel Timothy Jones (@SaintSamIAm) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Worth mentioning that I’ve been trying to access this service for nearly 3 days and get a constant ‘Please try later’ message.

  • PeterPatriot72 Pete (@PeterPatriot72) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Too late. I was given permission to speak on her behalf as I have run my own sales teams for over 20 years and your customer service is amongst the worst I have come across in all that time. You were warned that you would get buried on the net if you treated me like an idiot

  • AdamMTMiles Adam Michael Thomas Miles (@AdamMTMiles) reported

    @ThreeUK can’t login to my account nor reset my password... how am I supposed to order the new iPhone if I can’t do either of these???
