    @ThreeUKSupport I have been trying to cancel my mobile broadband contact for the last few days whilst still in cooking off period, however every time I’ve got through I have been told their system is down. How can I cancel within this period if I can’t get through? #threeuk

    @mythofechelon @TMobile Could be a @ThreeUK issue as their network was down overnight.

  • 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

    Just had the @Huawei E5783B-230 today. I'm setting it up, but I don't see 4G only mode under any network mode settings. Has this been taken away? @ThreeUKSupport @Huawei_Europe

    Js Mum (@CPMumma79) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK be aware i just got charged £15 for a 21 minute conversation with another mobile user! That is appalling. Please explain why your charges have gone up 250% I will be changing network ASAP.

    @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.

    Four webchats, 3 hours on hold and still not got through to @ThreeUK mobile broadband team... epic fail again with @ThreeUKSupport

    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

    @ThreeUK are lowkey the best network, just changed my contract and I’m paying £11 a month for all you can eat data, unlimited texts and calls 👀

    Christian Clark (@christianfclark) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Yes I usually switch between when my 4G struggles. My calls have been dropping and not working properly too though in a variety of locations.

  • TrystanOwens
    drunkmuppet (@TrystanOwens) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport can I make a complaint as recently you always seem to have problems in my area which is impeding my services.

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

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

    @ThreeUK customer service is horrendous

    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 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.

  • cymboi
    MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from Newport, Wales

    @ThreeUK Customer service is rubbish!! Don’t let them say they’ll close the case and then don’t sort the problem. I always thought they were pretty good, but, after a call of over an hour, I get nowhere! Extended my contract without my permission. 😡

    ideas.directory (@IdeasDirectory) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Worst part Rob, they recycle and give away your number to somebody else after few months but will refuse to port it back or sell it back to you This is a huge privacy issue which @ofcom doesn't seem to care

  • idrees_suhail
    Suhail 🔥 (@idrees_suhail) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Three just... sucks as a company. Giffgaff has worked great for me (keep your number, free texts receiving anywhere). Or move all 2FA to authenticator apps now that you're maybe forced to change it anyway

  • rhysllwyd
    Rhys Llwyd (@rhysllwyd) reported

    Unfortunatelly @ThreeUKSupport are similar in my town center (Caernarfon, North Wales). Phones shows there is 4G signal but often nothing loads. They’ve said in the past it’s a local temporary fault. But I’m sure it’s bandwidth/network capacity issues.

  • Ailsa56202286
    Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported

    Has anyone EVER been able to get through to a human when calling @ThreeUK got a problem ? Here’s a bot - problem not solved ? Hang up - go to the app? Bot - how are we accepting this as customer service ??

  • IndieDevFire
    Alf ❤️‍🔥 (@IndieDevFire) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Use TOTP 2FA instead of Texts. It's safer and you avoid this problem

  • Stuart61838784
    Stuart (@Stuart61838784) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Contract finishes this year and we won’t be staying with you now you have lost long term customers due to your network being shocking and getting worse, this happens every time in the last year and half then you lie saying your improving it when your not,

  • wulfsagemakes
    wulfsage (@wulfsagemakes) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Yeah giffgaff been just paying the minimum sim only plan since before I left UK, never had issues. If you don’t pay it for a few months they threaten to close it.

  • speaakwin
    My Hot Topics (@speaakwin) reported

    Why the f is the @ThreeUK 4g and 5g signal so bad? 8 feel like I'm living in the 90s here. I have 5g 3/4 signal, and it's taking 45 seconds to do a basic Google search. It's a joke. I'll be switching to Lebara I think. Been with you for 23 years. Literally since I was 15.

  • robj3d3
    Rob Hallam (@robj3d3) reported

    @helloitsolly @ThreeUK @GoRoamless Thanks Olly Yeah, I don't get it either. It's a policy of theirs. They need me to fly back to the UK, use it in the UK, and then I'm good to go again and they'll unblock me. Not happening, so getting my family to help out very thankfully.

  • Dalanamz
    Mahégal (@Dalanamz) reported

    I've messaged several times to cancel and still nothing has been done @ThreeUKSupport
