    @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 !

  • alunT
    Alun Thomas (@alunT) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK I have just had the worst customer service experience I have ever had. My knowledge of your products and services was much better than your staff. Also, TV noise un background made it hard to understand the Glaswegian accent and adviser 2 spoke fast and did not listen 😡

    @XiaomiUK @Android @ThreeUK Hey! What usually happens is, when I start a message with another 'Chat' user it can still be on SMS. I'm settings Chat will dispy as Connecting & sometimes fail. Or when another messages me they see it as txt not Chat. There's been a software update recently, it seems better now

    @ThreeUK Extremely annoyed with your service. Been a customer for many years and have two lines. Tried to upgrade and was told a price. I asked was there any upfront costs to be told no At the end of the call I was asked for £90. Livid and will be leaving

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport worse company I’ve ever had to deal with. Trying to cancel is a nightmare. Just cancel my contract useless ***** 😡

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport I'm a Three user and have had experience of both good and bad network in and around the Cardiff area. What Three are stating is true but it's taking longer than they planned originally. Three have the largest 5G bandwidth allocation of all the UK networks plus they also have..

    @ThreeUKSupport hi. I’ve been with you and few months and i’m really struggling with signal when indoors. Today I had two bars of 5G and couldn’t load anything. Later went to full bar 4G and same issue. Have videos to show if helpful.

    @RIKZ200 @EE @jay_smithy_13 @ThreeUK I couldn't agree more. 3's coverage is the worst of them all. Duped by their lying 'coverage' map. Can't even get a signal in my house. Roll on moving back to #EE

    @ThreeUKSupport Well that’s the problem, I didn’t requested my wife had the same message and she didn’t request it either.

    @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

  • SimoneJonesx
    Simone Jasmine Jones (@SimoneJonesx) reported from Alway, Wales

    Imagine being a @ThreeUK customer with 2 contracts for years on end and being told to find another service provider because they can’t fix the masts in my area and then refuse to refund what I’ve paid off this mobile or even pay my upfront cost for my next phone 😡 #scabs

  • 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

  • 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

    @ThreeUKSupport Worst company i’ve ever encountered. No wonder why your basically failing as a company

  • RosskoKeniston
    Rossko 👉👉 (@RosskoKeniston) reported from Porth, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport I'm nearing the end of a two year contract! I don't live in a great signal area unfortunately, calls tend not to reach my phone at home unless I have the WiFi on. I'm definitely not complaining, there are huge benefits to Three, InTouch was literally a lifesaver a while back!

    @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

    @jamesma34307397 @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I spoke to customer service and they kept trying to say it’s an issue with my phone and wouldn’t listen when I said other family members on three in the house are having the same problem.

  • deligatedgeek
    mark (@deligatedgeek) reported

    Some scammers called pretending to be @ThreeUK. I played along. First red flag is @ThreeUK calling me about bad service. Second red flag was the urgency and rush. Last red flag was asking to click yes on a notification on my phone to get a new sim card 1/

    Sir Richard B-H-Soame 13th BT (@SOAMER) reported

    If 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

    ES (@ewa_swital16945) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport 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!
