    @ThreeUK 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?

  • 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.

  • Chris_cfr_Hyde Chris Jones (@Chris_cfr_Hyde) reported from Manchester, England

    @ThreeUK no service for calls or internet in BL8 or BL9 post codes, cannot make or receive calls, send texts or use internet although I have received a couple of texts from non iPhone friends those with iPhones are unable to text me!

  • 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!!

  • 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

  • LauraR1707 Laura (@LauraR1707) reported from Bury, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m planning on moving networks when my contract is up. At my upgrade date, is this when I cancel with you or do I have to wait another month?

  • 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 🙃

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

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

  • SportsMadMCR SportsMadMCR (@SportsMadMCR) reported from Manchester, England

    @ThreeUKSupport my voice isn't being picked up on calls. Microphone works as done WhatsApp voicenote. Mute isn't on. Any issues with masts? I can hear them!

  • 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.

  • lofty316 Chris Lofthouse (@lofty316) reported from Blackburn, England

    @ThreeUKSupport is the app not working ?

  • 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

  • mikewcrowther Michael Crowther (@mikewcrowther) reported from Manchester, England

    @ThreeUK I recent moved from EE, brought my number with me. Been using it for a couple of days and now it’s reverted back to the 3 number. Can you help please

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • KhanKaleem70 Kaleem khan (@KhanKaleem70) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport You actually have the worst customer service how do I make an official complaint about my experiences with @ThreeUK

  • Dalejake Ian B (@Dalejake) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I do have account with you , have for a very long time ,It came about because I was asking about esim support which one again there seems to be conflicting info on that matter as well .

  • DavidHi59053096 David Hill (@DavidHi59053096) reported

    @jotwyman @ThreeUK The service is great, the speeds are great but they still hadn’t fixed the burned out boxes by the antenna. If it wasn’t for vandalism it was great the speeds were above 300Mbps, it’s just the customer service that lets it down. If it were all about speed and network I’d say yes.

  • ledsam_emma Emm Ledsam (@ledsam_emma) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport No problems at all until yesterday morning. Nothing blocked or restricted

  • jaimexeames 🌌🔮JAIME🔮🌌 (@jaimexeames) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Yes it seems he's been charged high amounts on another tariff as his contract is up and he hasn't renewed it yet as he was waiting for me to come to his home after covid restrictions permitted which is now, so I think that's what's occurring but he was never informed & it's never

  • kyleshabet ࿏ kyle ࿏ STREAM I COOK (@kyleshabet) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I’ve talked to you guys so many times about it 😭 you’ve just said “ah the signal is bad in your area” thats it and there’s nothing you can do apparently

  • walking2fitnes walking 2 fitness (@walking2fitnes) reported

    I have been off work sick for over 6 months just gone to 1/2 pay called @ThreeUK to see how I can save a bit of cash and help. Been with them many years and was offered £1 off to change my tariff. Facing possible job loss and eviction and find that offer insulting.

  • jramjee1 Jaysheel Ramjee (@jramjee1) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK Hi, the 4g service in RM15 is not working as expected. Its so bad that I can't even use your own app to check my account over 4g. I am reporting you to @Ofcom as I am fed up of this ongoing unsatisfactory service.

  • tomrigby Tom Rigby (@tomrigby) reported

    Dear @ThreeUK, you might be building the UK's fastest 5G network but you are incapable of pressing a simple button to reimburse the money you owe me. Or is the money you're withholding helping to pay for the network? Does that make me a shareholder in your incompetent company?

  • kyleshabet ࿏ kyle ࿏ STREAM I COOK (@kyleshabet) reported

    cannot wait until my broadband contract with @ThreeUK ends it’s been the worst 2 years 😭😭😭 I cannot tell you the issues I’ve had with their wifi it’s insane
