3 (Three) Outage in Bolton, England

Been trying to pay my @ThreeUK phone bill since 10am to get my services back up n running and they’ve had tech problems all day! 🙄😑😤

@MDOG_Manchester @O2 @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK @bt_uk @EE @giffgaff @Plusnet @SkyUK @Tesco I’m with @EE and never had an issue

@ThreeUKSupport I’m not sure to be honest. It’s not like it’s the worst thing, butnit is an inconvenience, and it’s annoying that I don’t know why 😂 the mystery haunts me!

@JamesFrith re @ThreeUK ad using Henry VIII ASA advised me that due to ad and nature of complaint they contacted @ThreeUK immediately who took the ad down.

@ThreeUKSupport The outcome of the chat was that he sent me a link to redownload. I ended the chat and uninstalled/reinstalled and still same issue. Software is allnup to date. I didn’t notice it was asking for a “dongle” number on my browser.

@JamesFrith @ThreeUK But James, it’s not random women. It’s Henry the 8th’s wives. What happened to them is horrible, no denying that, but people need to lighten up, including you! #threeadvert

@SuzanneEvans1 @VodafoneUK @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK are the worst company I have ever dealt with, it will do whatever it can to make money and will likely use this as a convenient reason. I recommend you switch ASAP

Updated my pay monthly sim plan today with @ThreeUK. Was on Unlimited data and texts + 200 mins for £18 a month. Had been on it since 2015. Then hang on 🤨 Today I saw they were offering Unlimited data, texts and calls for £20 a month! No brainier.

@ThreeUKSupport When was the last time someone did field testing of the signal on Oxford Road in Manchester, through to Hulme. It’s horrific. Half of the commute is spent in darkness, working offline 🚌

@ThreeUKSupport Customer support is like talking to a bloody wall.

@CostaCoffee sort out your tills or teach your staff to process properly @ThreeUK Wuntu offers! Poor service and overcharge eh

@VodafoneUK you think it’s ok to ring me to try and steal my from @ThreeUK this will never happen kindly remove me from you spamming process thank you 😜

@ThreeUK absolutely no help whatsoever from your live chat team just now. Not been able to use any data for 2 days. Was basically called a liar. Nice customer service there.

@ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK has the worst customer service. I have been waiting over an hour to speak to them. Also I was told I will get a back call from the Maneger on Monday but they did not call. #fixup

@ThreeUK I need help from #CustomerService from last 2h #ThreeUk server not working #help

@ThreeUK customer service is poor, can’t understand a word and not resolved my problem after three days.. not good

@BBCWatchdog Please help me with @ThreeUKSupport and @ThreeUK Customer Care is terrible. Insurance claims are shambolic.

@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Shambolic service when trying to claim. Waste of money. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!

@ThreeUKSupport Please help. Trying to complete a claim. Totally useless Customer Care. Disconnected 4 times. Losing the will to live.

@ThreeUK Trying to put a claim in for damaged handset. Customer Care atrocious, been disconnected 4 times, please help!!!!!!

@threeuksupport network is painfully slow today. Manchester M2

@ThreeUKSupport We are 3 guys working delivery driver at #KFC and all of us on Three network having same issue. Its Outdoor

Ordered an additional plan from @ThreeUK, late last night. Got home today & the SIM card had arrived 👌🏼 Nothing to pay up front, website was quick & easy plus a £2 a month discount for already being a customer. Great service 👍🏼

@ThreeUKSupport IPhone xs max 256gb . Well the roaming and the wuntu was keeping me a loyal customer for the past few years so I’d find a deal which would suit me as I didn’t like a change but guess this time its gonna have to be

Is anyone having any issues with their #iPhone’s as my 8 Plus keeps rebooting itself as well as crashing & it’s been doing this for a while @AppleSupport @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport @apple

@ThreeUK just to add my support to those calling for a return of the @CostaCoffee offer, it was the best thing about #Wuntu by a long way!

@ThreeUK here we go again!!!! what a tin pot outfit. Can’t get signal anywhere, can’t accept calls, go in shop and told “it’s rubbish isn’t it” and “come off your 4g” the 4g I’m ******* paying for. Diabolical setup! Never again with these absolute charlatans.

@ThreeUK ok so having exhausted myself complaining about piss poor signal for internet usage, it turns out I cannot even accept a ******* call now. The sooner my contract is done with this tin pot outfit the better. ******* atrocious.

@ThreeUKSupport M3 1he and anywhere around the M41, 1az area is really bad sometimes can’t even load google

Hi @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport just a query regarding speed and network. Recently I am not getting High speed on 4g anymore when near Manchester City centre, as soon as I go into the city itself it Jams up and lucky to load anything. This never used to happen but for past 12 months

@ThreeUKSupport I am having network issues... Need some support please... Don't have any problems at home, just this area which is my work location.

@ThreeUKSupport your customer service is disgraceful!! For one they cant even understand what im saying why cant you guys ring me i am not ringing you anymore shove your sim card where the sun dont shine absolutely useless and awfuk company

@ThreeUK how do I cancel my ending contract please?

@ThreeUKSupport As does your customer service

Utter waste of time pre ordering my phone with @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK when you go into store, be shown your new phone (with your name stuck on it) but be told you cannot take it away!! Useless staff and rubbish service plus a 20mins waste of my time!

@ThreeUKSupport WOW you really have no shame when it comes to customer service do you. I’ve called 333 and I’m being spoken to like I’m an inconvenience. I have no trust in you. Can you please resolve this before I have to escalate it to the ombudsman?

@ThreeUKSupport It would be great if you could attempt to resolve this sooner, maybe organise putting a handset aside in a store close to my location for me to collect, expedite my delivery, some form of action to show you’re genuinely sorry for your shocking customer service

@ThreeUKSupport Not a great experience is putting it mildly. I’ve not been treated so appallingly in a customer care situation. I was told I was at fault for not calling up after I’d upgraded online when I’d had no indication something had gone wrong (which it hadn’t).

@ThreeUKSupport The upgrade already existed. It always did.L. So the first phone call I had absolutely was a farce. I was told I had to upgrade again to give the appearance either I had done something wrong or a technical issue was at fault when it was your lack of honesty & communication

@ThreeUKSupport After speaking again with your customer service I realise I was lied to yesterday. The upgrade never failed and I had a sham of upgrading again. Why couldn’t you but upfront and honest about supply constraints? Why is this acceptable behaviour?

@ThreeUKSupport @AppleSupport after visiting the store and speaking to another customer service agent I was told I was given “wrong information” on my call yday. Wrong information? I was lied to, told my upgrade didn’t exist and my time was wasted doing a fictitious upgrade. You could have been upfront

@chiefmackers @danlawson @ThreeUKSupport I wouldn’t take that as an answer so insisted they upgrade me again for a guaranteed delivery, it’s now Oct 5th, I’m not sure what’s going on as this is soo widespread an issue they must know and haven’t reached out

@ThreeUK won’t be renewing my contract with you because you have treated me really bad saying that I haven’t cancelled my contract yet I did and still charge me £600 and only offering £50

@ThreeUK Well am leaving three for many reasons 1. My bill every month Is different every month 2. They said my old contract was cancelled, turns out they didn’t cancel it and kept it running and I was charged £600 for the contract and they could only offer £50 back Leave ASAP

@jaxralph1992 @kemperman @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport @chloehalladey @EE Indian call centre only problem with Three! They are rude, arrogant, obnoxious and lie persistently even when you record their conversation, if it’s not in a ‘script’ they abruptly hang up! And I’ve been with them since they started! But not sure I will stay at end of contract!

@AppleSupport i’m going to buy an Apple Watch & would like to buy the cellular option but my mobile carrier doesn’t support Apple Watch cellular. Can I by a cellular plan for Apple Watch from a different carrier? E.g @ThreeUK as my mobile carrier but use @EE as the Watch carrier?

Hi @ThreeUKSupport my ipad contract ends next month. How can I cancel it after contract end?

One of the reasons I was with @ThreeUK for years and will go back in heartbeat if they are the only carrier to offer this. Only reason I left was poor reception in my local area.

@ThreeUK still wondering why your charging me an extra £1.56 a month? Got told I’d receive a letter on why, but... never received one.

Frustrating times with @ThreeUK as they won’t let me log into account so I can cancel. I am a couple of years out of contract too. What can I do????

@ThreeUKSupport just been reading threw your tweets and it seems 3 mobile is having some signal problems everywhere!! Still no signal and U will know what the problems are and I don’t want to webchat!! 😡😡😡

I don’t have 4G/3G in London and I blamed it on congestion but it seems I don’t have it anywhere else @ThreeUK. Looking forward to the end of my contract in July to find a decent network!

@ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUKSupport I haven’t every time I type a password and press confirm reset I get generic mythree exception message. Not only added to that and the above but you have 30 min lockouts and so every time this happens I need to wait another 30 mins. Terrible for users.

So quick recap I’ve had a previous contract with @ThreeUK and decided to upgrade with them towards the end of September. Before I upgraded quick background story I moved houses and my service has been shit called them about it, apparently ‘it’s being fixed’.

You know that feeling when you want to just browse the internet, receive phone calls and texts but @ThreeUK NO SERVICE ASS has other plans. Welcome to my thread.

@ThreeUKSupport Yes it was accidentally left on for like only 20 minutes. I will be leaving based on your roaming charges and the fact that you won’t cancel this charge off my bill given that it was accidental and the charge is unproportionate to my usage at the time.

@ThreeUKSupport Yes but never of this amount. I know there are EU regulations to stop you guys from overcharging us. But outside of the EU, your charges are excessive and I will changing networks once my contract ends for sure and will be telling everyone else about this

@dad_anxious @O2 @snaildude @snaildude go with @ThreeUK, better service all round. Thats where im going when my renewals pop up. Been with @o2 7 years and the service has utterly dropped. Unless youre an influencer, then theyll send you one of their @o2 #bagsofcrap

@ThreeUKSupport I did even though I don't believe the problem is with my device, since yesterday I've got the very same issue and also a friend is experiencing the same here. It got better only in the evening. That's been terrible lately

@ThreeUK signal in #Blackpool is shocking!!!!!!!
