  • ssorhpesoj Joe (@ssorhpesoj) reported from Poole, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Contacted you to cancel my contract 2 months but contract wasnt cancelled and further payments have been taken.

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Have run network setting reset - still seeing my signal drop - calls are showing as only using WiFi calling

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m sorry to say the back of a crisp packet is more helpful than what I got - clearly the advisor is not trained to help beyond very basic queries and doesn’t have access to any resources to help him. Now on a lengthy (cold) transfer to customer services to log a complaint

  • Ela44 Elaine 💙 (@Ela44) reported from Corfe Mullen, England

    @keavaoloan @ThreeUKSupport Same here in BH18 I have managed to make one call today but all the others number not recognised and dropped. WhatsApp calls on WiFi working so problems with 3 signal still my friend only 6 miles away has no problems with calls.

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport It’s like I’m doomed not to get help. I’m really sorry but who do I have to talk to to get a qualified engineer on the phone not someone following a script - he’s taking forever and not getting anywhere because my answers don’t fit his script he doesn’t know how to help me

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Have now demand he either finds me a more senior colleague or a manager as the answer after a five minute hold to “investigate” was “we know there’s a network problem” which is the same tired excuse I always hear from THREE

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi this is terrible I keep dropping inbound calls. I have coverage and WiFi calling but people are struggling on non repeat attempts to call - including Vodafone trying to fix my broadband can’t get through!!!!

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport having really bad issues with regards to data of last few days almost unusable - on an iPhone in good signal not too busy an area, any ideas why it’s suddenly so bad?

  • ScubaRoss Ross (@ScubaRoss) reported from Poole, England

    @mcarhartharris @ThreeUK If you want the model let me know. Best headphones I’ve ever used, never fallen out when running AND they turn on, it’s like magic!

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks - that issue has cleared up but I still have a lot problems where calls drop even when I’m not moving - doesn’t happen all the time and never happened on my old provider on and phone (only been with you a few months)

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUK I know you hate me and never can be bothered to provide me with phone service and I do apologise for actually using a healthy wedge of my unlimited data today - please take up grievance with @VodafoneUK whose broadband has been dead all day even after phoning for help!

  • Ela44 Elaine 💙 (@Ela44) reported from Corfe Mullen, England

    @ThreeUKSupport emergency calls only available in BH18 area calls can't be made or received can you tell me what is happening in the area please

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Well that went as well as before... no help - click the link “error”, try again “no operators” even though it’s inside your posted opening hours

  • ssorhpesoj Joe (@ssorhpesoj) reported from Corfe Mullen, England

    Calling @ThreeUK and I'm pretty sure it's not hold I can hear.. I can hear people mumbling and laughing in the background... this is absolutely poor from Three.

  • MikaelaYurukova Mikaela Yurukova (@MikaelaYurukova) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUK Can you at least fix the network connection. I have a Huawei device at home for wi-fi which is horrible, but also the mobile 3G/4g is even worse....

  • DavidAGraham David Graham (@DavidAGraham) reported from Bournemouth, England

    I will never understand about Sales... SMARTY is a MVNO owned by Three Mobile - I was already on @ThreeUK. Three looses a customer, SMARTY gains one. The @SMARTYMobileUK sales guy still gets their bonus this year yet the group business is down £60/year. Thanks @claudelittner

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Tech today going well... @VodafoneUK: KNACKERED, no ideas what’s wrong, @SkyHelpTeam TV WiFi iffy - engineer Thursday to make box feel better, @ThreeUK temperamental as using data due to no broadband. Haven’t been able to work or relax all day with all these issues!

  • ssorhpesoj Joe (@ssorhpesoj) reported from Poole, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Managed to phone the 3 number on the website and spoke to someone but got a different answer to what was given to me last week. I will be going to one of your stores to get a resolution and if that doesn't work I will be going to the ombudsman.

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUK why is your network so rubbish - months now I’ve been suffering bad signal everywhere. I’ve even had my iPhone replaced to try and resolve things and all you say is “doing works to improve” in the area every time without prior warning and they never improve

  • jamescusens18 JimmyUnderwood™ (@jamescusens18) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Hi @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I need someone to call me back tomorrow to help sort out the mess that you’ve created. You’ve taken my phone number and swapped it with my mum (NHS worker), now she is without a phone. Complete mess.

  • DanielB8008 Dan (@DanielB8008) reported

    @ThreeUK Are you going to fix it anytime today, it's shocking a service goes down and it takes you this long to resolve it

  • GrowerTomUK GrowerTom (@GrowerTomUK) reported

    @CarlJon09271495 @ThreeUK I was on EE lost out twice last year once for 2 days so moved to 3 then this, they're all as bad as each othet

  • Ben86114919 Ben (@Ben86114919) reported

    @RaymondCla82604 @ThreeUK I can confirm smarty hasn't worked all day. There help chat is useless and just tell you to use WhatsApp. Can't do that to organise medical appointments.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @ThreeUK @theskywalker75 There's no evidence suggesting this outage is due to a cyber attack; it appears to be a technical issue. Three UK is working to resolve the voice service problem, but no specific timeline has been provided. Past outages suggest it could take hours to days. Monitor Three UK's X account for updates. Data services are unaffected, so try using apps like WhatsApp for calls. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Calummoore96 Calum (@Calummoore96) reported

    @ThreeUK How long is it expected to stay down for? It’s been all day and I have phone calls to make!

  • shanes_loonie leah the loonie ⚒️whu⚒️ I miss my pops 💔 4.12.20 (@shanes_loonie) reported

    @Cliffinkent @ThreeUK Three were **** before that I never had any issues with Vodafone but have now gone to ee as I just know its going to be a **** show

  • rushman1uk Kevin🤘🚴😷💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@rushman1uk) reported

    @ThreeUK Oi 3, data services ARE NOT working normally! I've tried using my data and nothing. Sort the **** show out 👍 #NoThreeData

  • kelly1980 Page394 (@kelly1980) reported

    @ThreeUK It's annoying but I dont get why everyone's being so aggressive about it. It's not like they did it on purpose, technology fails sometimes. That's why its bad to be so reliant on it. **** happens

  • markisone1 markisone (@markisone1) reported

    @ThreeUK Data service also not working in Aberdeen

  • DJUT_F3 DJ UT (@DJUT_F3) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport When you going to fix this my business line I’m not working my personal phone is not working. I have to try and find someone to pick up my kids for me at school today. I couldn’t call the school that someone is coming to pick them up missed out on almost £3000 of work
