  • nathantalbot Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Salford, England

    @ThreeUKSupport good morning, I called on Monday to cancel a mobile broadband router contract I had had delivered on Saturday. Was told I’d get a Jiffy bag through the post to return it but haven’t received anything yet. Just keen to get the item back within 5 days as required.

  • arsenben80 Powerpoof Bear 🐻 (@arsenben80) reported from Sale, England

    @Mr_ChRiSsI_X @Garreth88h @ThreeUK If my phone doesn't have full 4G+ *and* decent mobile signal, it just doesn't work. I can be stood outside in Central Manchester and the signal is just nonexistent 🙃

  • YawnoftheDad Anthony Crook (@YawnoftheDad) reported from Urmston, England

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport trying to find out an early cancellation fee is impossible with you. FOUR different answers from four different operators. Counting down the days until end of October to finally bin you off. @EE here we come.

  • cjwhittle Chris Whittle (@cjwhittle) reported from Stockport, England

    Ever since the “improvement” works in the area, my signal has been terrible @ThreeUK The internet is barely functional which is very annoying as I used to rely on that daily when our Sky Broadband inevitably crashed

  • arsenben80 Powerpoof Bear 🐻 (@arsenben80) reported from Manchester, England

    Which is the worst mobile network in the UK, and why is it @ThreeUK?! I could be stood on top of a ******* mast and *still* not get any signal 😤😤😤

  • JurgensTeeth Michelle 💙 (@JurgensTeeth) reported from Walkden, England

    @ThreeUKSupport hi, I'm currently a Three customer and due an upgrade. I've seen a deal on USwitch which isn't available direct with you so I'll be going with that. How can I go about transferring my phone number from my current 3 account to the new 3 account? Still need PAC?

  • DebbraJaneCakes Debbra Watson (@DebbraJaneCakes) reported from Bury, England

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK this has to be the worst network in U.K. order @AppleSupport IPhone 12 Pro Max a 5G phone that requires a 5G sim only to not receive one and when I ask why in told “You don’t have 5G in your postcode so don’t require a 5G sim! Really? People move about!!

  • serigala DinAmri (@serigala) reported from Sale, England

    @SatjinderS @ThreeUK I've been on 3 for the last 10 years or so. Coverage doesn't seems to improve. Was bad, still bad.

  • northwineschool Northern Wine School (@northwineschool) reported from Bury, England

    @ThreeUK The GoRoam part of your service is all I am with you for, I can find a much cheaper domestic tariff elsewhere. I hope you will be honoring this for those of us stuck in a contract with you past May? Otherwise I expect to be released early

  • Sianh10 Sian (@Sianh10) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    Son very unhappy as @ThreeUK saying he has to wait 30 days to transfer his number from one @ThreeUK account to another. Makes no sense, would have been better off changing to a diff network.

  • phatgav Gavin (@phatgav) reported from Manchester, England

    @ThreeUK I’ve been with you for nearly ten years and loved you but in the last few months your network has been terrible for mobile data. It’s so flaky now no matter where I am and it’s really disappointing. With no more go roam after my contact ends, I’m considering others

  • georgewalker18 George (@georgewalker18) reported from Bolton, England

    @ThreeUK is there an issue with your service? Mines constantly buffering

  • ankarsingho SinghMUFC🔰 (@ankarsingho) reported from Manchester, England

    Is @ThreeUK the worst network in the UK? Answers on a postcard…

  • LekanTaiwo10 Lekan Taiwo (@LekanTaiwo10) reported from Manchester, England

    @ThreeUK I hope I can win this. I have never won anything in my life

  • Nick00610003 Nick (@Nick00610003) reported from Rochdale, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I ain't paying for a servicethat hasn't been good for over a month and the lat 7 days the internet connection has been really slow so i ain't paying £34 for a plan i specifically set up for the good internet speed and the last month or so its been really hard to use internet

  • orangeskyline spontaneous (@orangeskyline) reported

    @Nooraa_N @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK unfortunately there customer service and live chat is so bad they cut you off more then once in a day, because you complain about there network and cover in the U.K. they always past the book, I’ve been with them for years but NOW it’s time to think about moving network

  • DhattHarry Harry Dhatt (@DhattHarry) reported

    @ThreeUK , if I wanted to move to 3 network but there is not a good signal at my@house for 4G and 5G , is there anything you can do?

  • concretel10n ConcreteL10n (@concretel10n) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I like to get my addons when I want them - I call 333, so I can top up while doing other things, and the last handful of times I get a recorded message and put through to someone who will only try and sell me a contract, not help with the call.

  • Three_Is_Broken Broken Three UK (@Three_Is_Broken) reported

    @leader_music @ThreeUKSupport Good luck. Normally you experience issues after the cooling off period. My advice would be run, run as fast as you can!

  • FaridAliev8 Farid Aliev (@FaridAliev8) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport anywhere within M25 and it supposed to be 5G...I have never seen 5G on my phone!

  • HereTooComplain D I (@HereTooComplain) reported

    @ThreeUK When three reckon they have 93% of coverage in the uk. Chat ****. More like of the 93%, only 5% is enough speed to play a video and the other 88% are dead zones with low or no speeds. Cant believe I got stuck in a 1y contract with you. Nearly finished now. Need new sim. Shocking.

  • _fr0d0_ fr0d0 (@_fr0d0_) reported

    @ThreeUK terrible service from Three again. Advised wait to cancel contact. Now charging me until end of next month. Was cheaper to end before. Conned.

  • leader_music Richard Leader Music - Leader's American Pie (@leader_music) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I get no signal in my house at all (you presumably could have worked this out when I put in my address details). If we can work out how to switch-on wifi calling, that might help but I can't see how to do it on the phone you supplied

  • Shlotso Hugo Gideon S (@Shlotso) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I've trying to deal with a contract taken out by my mentally ill uncle - whos had an manic episode your support staff has been useless im within the 14days to cancel and noone can tell me what evidence I need to cancel he cant leave the house

  • Lupusprisoner Jacqui (@Lupusprisoner) reported

    @ThreeUK cannot even make calls my cardiac nurse tried calling me all day could not get through now I cannot call them 6 months of promises to fix yet I still have to pay my bill
