    @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.

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m having issues when people are calling me sometimes it says number invalid. Any suggestions?

    @ThreeUKSupport hi. I’ve been with you and few months and i’m really struggling with signal when indoors. Today I had two bars of 5G and couldn’t load anything. Later went to full bar 4G and same issue. Have videos to show if helpful.

  • gingio
    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 😐

  • 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. 😡

  • 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

    @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.

    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 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.

  • SueRegan73
    Suzanne Regan (@SueRegan73) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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.

  • gingio
    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.

    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

    @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

    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?

    @PeterClaydon @PedroClarke1 @ThreeUK I wouldn't say clutter. It's the technologies needed. There really isn't anything wrong with that. I would like to see more of the cabinets green, especially to help blend more with hedges that might be behind.

    @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

    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.

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

    @Scoutsscarter @ThreeUK I’ve had no end of problems with @ThreeUK as a customer over the summer... both for broadband and mobile. Still no apology or offer to discuss the problem.

    @ThreeUKSupport hi I need to talk about my account I’m being charged twice when I’ve already paid my bill. I’m on the phone with customer service but they’re no help

  • ewa_swital16945

    @ThreeUK I have been scammed through 3 Pay and Three withdrew money my account knowing about the fraud. I keep reporting the fraud to your customer services and nothing has been done to address it.

    @ThreeUKSupport I have no signal, I'm stuck at home, and I need an IMS Reset for Wi-Fi Calling. Please send a secure chat link.

  • woodenscot
    Graeme (@woodenscot) reported

    .@ThreeUKSupport is there any chance you could make your network work in the centre of Edinburgh. It is appallingly bad and has been for a very long time. I was hoping your Vodafone merger was fixing it but seems not.

  • dianaintheuk
    DianaInTheUK (@dianaintheuk) reported

    @ThreeUK is there an issue with your network? I’ve been offline since 7 pm last night

  • bazisbackagain
    The Honeydripper (@bazisbackagain) reported

    @ThreeUK the worst broadband and customer service ive ever experienced, cancelled my contract without me asking, then took £140 out of my account when I was told it wouldn’t go out, 5 times I’ve been in contact and they say it will be resolved in a matter of days, still waiting…

  • PHILIPCARRUK
    Philip Carr (@PHILIPCARRUK) reported

    @ThreeUK why have you billed me for 5–6 months of line rental after I cancelled my SIM and moved my number to Vodafone? Now I “owe” £190+ due to your error. Take responsibility and fix this with CRS!

  • Sweetafghani10
    sweetsimple_krafts⁷⁼¹ *I saw JIN London* (@Sweetafghani10) reported

  • aligaines1410
    Ali Gaines (@aligaines1410) reported

    Once again @ThreeUK network is down. Every month this is happening. I asked to swap to normal from mobile broadband but was told I'd have to pay to get out of my contract but surely the amount of time your network is down you would offer to swap me for free!

    Just joined the @EE network and im.struggling to turn off the adult content filter. This is very frustrating and not easy to figure out. Im thinking of cancelling and going back to @ThreeUK
