Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Swanage and nearby locations:

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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!

  • 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.

  • Stephen61934614 Stephen Edwards (@Stephen61934614) reported from Christchurch, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Sorry but this is beyond a joke, service in BH234HU has completely crashed again - you really need to give an honest explanation of what is going on, people are trying to do their jobs here!

  • 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

  • NicolaSyms Nicola Syms (@NicolaSyms) reported from Christchurch, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi, I’m not a 3 customer but received texts recently threatening to disconnect my phone as bill couldn’t be paid. I know it’s a scam but some customers may not. Do you investigate these please & if so how do I report them? (If not I’ll just block/delete) Thanks!

  • 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

    @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 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 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 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Stephen61934614 Stephen Edwards (@Stephen61934614) reported from Christchurch, England

    @ThreeUKSupport three days now of zero mobile WiFi service in BH23 4HU!! Businesses are relying on the service during this critical Covid period.... to ad insult 45 mins waiting for you support only to be cut off!!!! What is going on?!?!

  • 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

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

  • James220201 ✈️🌍 (@James220201) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hey 3. Soo I'm trying to go through your payment debt support team I've lost my job I owe 3 months worth of bills sadly your team doesn't seem to understand English around this and I need other support. Is it possible if there's someone English to speak too?

  • MariaPlumb73 Maria Plumb 🦋 💜 (@MariaPlumb73) reported

    @EE It would be amazing if your customer services team would answer me in chat. Transferred to upgrades and been ignored. But that's ok, as me and hubby will go join @ThreeUK who offer our phone of choice for a lot less.

  • HawaiMaiBarbie xxxxxxxxxxxxx (@HawaiMaiBarbie) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport If I just cancel my contract and sign up again, it’s half price for six months. And I get a new battery without having to liaise with a manufacturer in china???

  • veddycent Vedders (@veddycent) reported

    @ThreeUK Can I order a PAYG SIM replacement via my online account? If not it would be really useful if this was possible without having to visit a store or contact support.

  • petevick Pete Vickers (@petevick) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Having problems in the BL3 area on Home broadband for 2nd night - Are there any known problems?

  • Maysiebug Maysie glitter disco bug 💐🍄👩🏻‍🎤🌙✨🪩🐞🇺🇦 (@Maysiebug) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport hi just wondering what is going on with my problem with three plus it still won’t let me log in and it’s been over a week since someone looked into it for me

  • SGBluebell Bluebell 💙 (@SGBluebell) reported

    PSA to never, ever, EVER use @ThreeUK repeated debt collection threats while blaming me for not receiving email bills (but they can email me threats just fine lmao), can't log in to my account on their **** website bc they apparently block anyone outside of the UK--

  • MiCrause MTe (@MiCrause) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Service is down in my area, please make sure my bill is reduced to compensate for time I can't use the service.

  • OscarsIssues Oscar (@OscarsIssues) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Dealing with issues around your lies and incompetence. Cancelled a contract in a day due to you not providing service advertised. Account still open, saying I owe you money, affecting my credit rating, all after getting "100% guarantee" it would be resolved and closed.

  • Salfords_Finest John Waite (@Salfords_Finest) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m having the PS4 issue as well as other issues linked to that thread. This is going nowhere- I’ll register on the forum and try there.
