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.
-
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
-
🏴 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.
-
Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales@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..

Simone Jasmine Jones (@SimoneJonesx) reported from Alway, WalesImagine 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
-
Ross Maisey (@TweetterRoss) reported from Church Village, Wales@ThreeUKSupport 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
-
Christian Clark (@christianfclark) reported from Cardiff, Wales@ThreeUKSupport Have been with @ThreeUK for years and always been very happy with service. However since renewing to a 24 month contract and 5G getting turned on, my service has been absolutely terrible. Terrible or no 3G/4G, calls cutting out or failing. 1/2

Cat Peters (@CatTPeters) reported from Penarth, Wales@fonehouse hi there, I’ve just upgraded my phone, I’m still on @ThreeUK and it says “Sim not supported”. Please can you help?
-
Lisardo Vivas (@LisardoVivas) reported from Cardiff, Wales@ThreeUKSupport Well that’s the problem, I didn’t requested my wife had the same message and she didn’t request it either.
-
𝕂𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕪 (@kellsandbulls) reported from Victoria, Wales@ThreeUK is there a problem with the services I am not able ring out it is saying this is an important announcement you can no longer ring 153 from my handset use 118333 I need to use my phone!
-
Darío Gutier (@Dariogutier) reported from Cardiff, Wales@ThreeUKSupport Yeah and the problem was still there, my phone was changed because apparently was the phone and the problem is still here! It’s been 2 years contract in hell!! I can’t wait to finish it
-
Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales@DanielIqbal1999 @ThreeUK That should not happen. If the Three signal fails a 999 call should automatically be routed through any alternative network .
-
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. 😡
-
Reece (@reece_evans) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@ThreeUK why am I paying for a service that NEVER works at my house - BS494EQ
-
Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales@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
-
MH 🏴🏳️🌈🇪🇺 #yescymru (@cymboi) reported from St. Julians, Wales@ThreeUK How come you are charging for the Go Roam? It was always apart of the package. Makes me think that your packages are no better than any other network and such poor signals. Will probably leave Three because of this.
-
Adam Lee (@AdamLee2011) reported from Newport, Wales@ThreeUKSupport TA8 2SE, I bought MiFi with 30 day contract and the coverage in this area is awful. I will be cancelling and going with another provider.

Alf ❤️🔥 (@IndieDevFire) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Use TOTP 2FA instead of Texts. It's safer and you avoid this problem
-

Golfing through 2025 (@duxbury2002) reportedAnyone have issues with @ThreeUK data calculation? My new billing cycle started 3 days ago. My app says my usage is 996kb of data. That’s 0.001GB. The graph shows that I have 8GB left of my 12GB allowance, so 4GB used. I called them, they say I have used 2GB. #ripoffbritain
-
Ryan Sael (@RyanSael) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK I switched to giffgaff before left and just use payg without monthly plan, never had a problem since. maybe try order a new sim via ukpostbox then forward to your current address, that might help.
-
Alex 💪 (@awpthorp) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK Doesn’t sound right. I was with three for 5 years whilst abroad. Now I’m with EE and no issues.
-
Simon Winstanley (@Winclouduk) reported@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport u so need to get proper signal on ln12 2 area. Mablethorpe gets proper 5g and 4g and all we get is basic 4g which is rubbish. When will we get proper upgrades signal? @VodafoneUK never cares so hoping u can push your parent company
-
Milber Jinslade (@xeode) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK known people with a uk number out of the uk for years, wonder when this policy started, or they just wanted an excuse to cancel your account?
-
Darpan_V_S (@DarpanVS) reported@ThreeUKSupport can you improve your 5G speed it’s worst than 2ng nowadays please.
