  • RosskoKeniston

    @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!

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

    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.

    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 😡

  • 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

  • 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

    @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

    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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • matthewthowells
    hi i’m matthew (@matthewthowells) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I don't usually have good experiences with customer support calls, but tonight's call was one of the best I've had. Finally, staff that I can clearly hear and understand. Unfortunately I am moving on from Three but your staff tonight were excellent. 👍

    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 😡

    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 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.

  • 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 !

  • welsh_stu

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

    @iD_Mobile_UK @ThreeUK Hi, I’m still having problems despite having restarted my phone. TW1.

  • bunntyy
    nirmal kumar (@bunntyy) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I was told in DM yesterday that mast maintenance had finished and all should be fine. Yet today, data service is still dropping repeatedly. Feels less like resolution and more like routine dismissal of a recurring issue. #threeoutage #outage #threeuk

  • Anton_Martin_EU
    Anton Martin (@Anton_Martin_EU) reported

    @ThreeUK I never ordered a new phone, no, nor am I using it - I will not pay the bill, scamming fraudsters

  • DAFtMarkS
    Mark (@DAFtMarkS) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport just in case nobody has told you…signal strength in Cornwall was next to nothing. One huge black spot.

  • emmakirton
    Emma Kirton (@emmakirton) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport And you are telling me to open a complaint about my complaint. Can I have another solution please or do I need to move my business contract elsewhere. I’ve been a business customer for ~12 years

  • LouReid1980
    Louise Clark (Reid) (@LouReid1980) reported

    @ThreeUK - I have had no service in either central London or North London since yesterday afternoon. I have tested my phone with a different SIM and my phone is working. What is the issue with the Three Network currently ?

  • rchirag
    Chir Patel (@rchirag) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @ThreeUK Unfortunately, we cannot even use the chat function on idmobile website to chat with customer service. Chat window doesn’t open..!! shambles.

  • rchirag
    Chir Patel (@rchirag) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @ThreeUK I am still having issues and me and my wife who are in ID mobile cannot make a phone call when we are at our home address.

    If anyone is looking to upgrade their phone with @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport and are a long term customer, just be warned, they run hard credit checks and will decline you. They no longer have customer loyalty.

    @ThreeUKSupport morning guys//gals I’m currently abroad due to a family emergency. I’ve used up 80% of my go roam data allowance. At the moment it’s not looking like I will be travelling back for a few more days (hoping Wednesday) Am I able to top up the data I can use?
