  • 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.

  • 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?

  • KerryM811 K e r r i (@KerryM811) reported from Horwich, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I contacted you last month to cancel a contract-I was advised, to avoid paying a cancellation fee,I needed a pac code to give to new provider(even tho im not taking the number)another monthly payment has now been taken and still no code received. How do I cancel?

  • GabrielVaraljay Gabriel Varaljay (@GabrielVaraljay) reported from Accrington, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Now I have to wait until 21st of March and there is no solution: no extras to buy. There is no logic.

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

    @johnthecyclist @thedavidpage @ThreeUK Has this been sorted for you? I've had the exact same issue since 1st January, despite being promised 9 days ago that it would be resolved within 7 at the latest. Infuriating.

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

    @ThreeUKSupport so I visited the store in Arndale MCR as I’m having issues with the network.. they are not able to assist me. I called up CC 6 times they are neither able to help me and directing me to the store. This is ridiculous service provided by staff Allister in MCR

  • Kamran73298788 Kamran (@Kamran73298788) reported

    @ThreeUK I am stuck abroad and have been the victim of identity fraud. Your customer service is awful. No one I can talk to on the phone about simcard scam. My bank has reported theft. Never using you again.

  • SteveMBanks Steve Banks (@SteveMBanks) reported

    @ThreeUK SORT YOUR NETWORK OUT!!!!!!!! 4 weeks and not able to hold a conversation as people can't hear me, -127dBm signal, WTAF!!!! It's like being back in 1998!

  • MillHillfitness Highbury Fields Gooner (@MillHillfitness) reported

    @ThreeUK I am amazed you don’t support eSims so the iPhone I just bought in America is useless. I’ll be leaving Three immediately

  • Hempomatt Matty (@Hempomatt) reported from Croydon, England

    @ThreeUK are actually ******* hilariously bad

  • APurcell92 Andrew Purcell (@APurcell92) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi Rhiannon. I work in tech support myself so know that's not a daft question! Haha I tried that at the time, as well as turning off roaming and back on. Just tried both of those again and still no joy, unfortunately.

  • dan371971 Danny Hutchings (@dan371971) reported

    @ThreeUK in a big town centre with a 2 bar 4G signal. Shocking. 5g I won’t hold my breath.

  • JoeiMini Jo Howard (@JoeiMini) reported

    Switched to @O2 2 months ago and cannot believe how absolutely rubbish my signal is now. Joke! Should never have left @ThreeUK

  • arcaduran Dan Truelove (@arcaduran) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport any issues in the B44 area?...using Ai cube & Netflix won't load a film (sticks at 25%)....use 3 for my phone too but it loads fine on that.

  • Kamran73298788 Kamran (@Kamran73298788) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Giving me the same number that I originally tried to contact you on isn't helpful...I was told I *had* to use the online chat service. Can you just give me the number to put me directly in touch with someone based in the UK who can help me out with this?

  • sdklam Mohojox (@sdklam) reported

    Hey @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK, Iran has blocked internet and your Swedish branch @3Sverige just made all calls and texts from Sweden to Iran for free to support Iranian women fighting for their freedom. Could you do same for UK? It would be much appreciated.
