    @DanielIqbal1999 @ThreeUK That should not happen. If the Three signal fails a 999 call should automatically be routed through any alternative network .

    @ThreeUKSupport I took a look on the Hi-Link app. Seems like @Huawei removed it. That's really bad of them to do that

    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

  • peterkin1010
    Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport ..a new chunk of 4G 1500mHz aka Ban.d 32. When they're actually commissioned the Three network has huge potential to deal with all these issues virtually overnight. Sadly they don't communicate the cause and ther solutions very well hence disappointed customers.

    @ThreeUK My service has been fine. My husbands on the other hand has been non-existent since last night.

    @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

    @ThreeUK i keep losing signal on Barry Island, postcode CF62 5TQ. It’s stopping me tweeting 😭

  • welsh_stu
    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 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.

  • AnnaB_Cdf
    Anna Brzezinska (@AnnaB_Cdf) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Just came back from North Wales and thanks god I have a sat nav & sos button in my @MercedesBenz as otherwise my journey in the morning would involve searching for an actual road map since @ThreeUK was down, so no service nor data during 4h journey from Cardiff 👎😑🙄 #threedown

    @ThreeUK network coverage lately is awful. I may need to consider moving after 18 years

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • WildthingJ74
    Johnathan Williams (@WildthingJ74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • gordonpr1c3
    Gordon Price (@gordonpr1c3) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport Shouldn't the message read, Hi, valued customer, we are super busy right now, please try again later? Or something other than we are closed?

  • x_Gabrielle_x
    Gabrielle Jenkins (@x_Gabrielle_x) reported from Newport, Wales

    On hold to @ThreeUK possibly the worst phone company i’ve ever encountered in my whole life

  • 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!

    Ronald (@ronaldlangeveld) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK I just changed my plan to prepaid, keep roaming on, doesn't even have credit on but usually as long as its connected to a network its good and I can still receive texts.

  • Iwantmytrain
    John 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@Iwantmytrain) reported

    When @ThreeUK split their bills so you now get a separate bill for airtime and the device, it became the biggest inconvenience for the customer. Convenient for Three, not their customers. TERRIBLE idea.

  • jnafr

    @ThreeUKSupport @VodafoneUK B43 Birmingham dreadful service.

  • justarieldotcom
    Ariel Online (@justarieldotcom) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK This cannot be correct @ThreeUK . What are the official t&cs for this at your network?

  • 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.

  • Martin_Adams
    Martin Adams | Building Flowtelic (@Martin_Adams) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Oh no, I found a service you can port your UK number to which maps it to a voip, specifically for this issue. Haven’t done it yet, but plan to.

  • pn_d00
    P (@pn_d00) reported

    Hi @ThreeUK, just wondering why I can’t see the £1 cafe nero offer in the three+ app anymore. Has the partnership ended, or is it just a temporary app issue?

  • robj3d3
    Rob Hallam (@robj3d3) reported

    @IMAC2 @ThreeUK That sucks man. There's no way to go back to your own country just for the sake of a SIM. Funny thing is my provider has plenty of coverage in Vietnam, they just choose to be a pain @ThreeUK

  • i_amsochi
    stiches. (@i_amsochi) reported

    @ThreeUK I need help and a quick fix, can someone please get back to me, I have rang you guys so many times and you have been so unhelpful, there has been no resolution and being passed back and forth and would like to escalate/ speak to a manager asap!

  • awpthorp
    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.
