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

  • TonyMaloneUK
    Tony Malone (@TonyMaloneUK) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Resolved in part.... but my written complaint received a letter simply asking me to call you.... to be told to reply in writing as they can’t deal with it over the phone....

    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

    Shane (@gingio) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @NathanWyburnArt @Apple I’m having a similar issue and @ThreeUK won’t do anything about it. They told me to download some app which won’t help anyway as it’s unknown caller. I think next step is I’ll be forced to change my number 😐

    Excuse me for being blunt here @ThreeUKSupport but what is with your trash My3 app? Can't load recent usage, [pdf bill ain't ready yet but that's fine, today is reset day] Website won't give me usage. Why is this a regular basis oops we have an issue thing?

    @PedroClarke1 @ThreeUK Sadly my Three is still crap where I've in Penarth. And it hasn't changed much in the centre of Cardiff either.

  • 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

    @ThreeUKSupport hi my daughter had her new phone today with a new SIM card after and upgrade she activated the sim. But there was nothing when trying to into my 3 for new number would let us log in or update password. Kept saying technical error. Is there a problem.

    @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!

    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 .

    @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.

    This may be something that only affects me but it's hugely unfortunate @ThreeUK are discontinuing their Three In Touch app. I don't have that great a signal in my house and being able to make calls and text over WiFi was a massive benefit. Arg.

    @SteffRidderwall @666hazard @chrisaarongrima @ChelseaFC @nikefootball @ThreeUK I don’t it just came up on my timeline and it looked awful just my opinion I’m sure some will like it

  • 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!

    @ThreeUK I had served l sent a tweet to you earlier asking if there was issues. Ok. There's Android Instant Messenger & Signal. Thanks for letting us know.

  • 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 😡

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

    @ThreeUKSupport I raised a complaint, they asked to close it as it was dealt with, passed me on to another agent to finalise it and bang, back to square one as the issue wasn’t solved. Called again, the agent couldn’t see that the complaint and disconnected the call. I’m a long standing customer
