  • 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!

  • 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!

    @Kiai_Kas @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport Hi Karen yesterday down here in Dorset I couldn't make or receive calls when I tried to ring out it said number not recognised and dropped. 3 came back to me on here to say engineers working in several places trying to fix it. Signal today is very low and phone is intermittent

  • 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.

  • 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 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?

  • P_L_M97 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐆𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐈 (@P_L_M97) reported from Poole, England

    @ThreeUKSupport can’t seem to get any signal around Poole / bournemouth area? And it’ll say full signal but nothing loads?

    @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

  • P_L_M97 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐆𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐈 (@P_L_M97) reported from Swanage, England

    @ThreeUKSupport why has nothing been loading on my 3G or 4G for the last couple of weeks ??? It’s so so so slow

  • 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 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 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

  • BambiAmy78 It’s Me .... Amy (@BambiAmy78) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi, do you have system issues today please? I completed an order this morning to move to you from another supplier but am yet to receive my confirmation email.

  • 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

  • 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?!?!

  • P_L_M97 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐆𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐈 (@P_L_M97) reported from Poole, England

    @ThreeUKSupport I have a company that I’ve never heard of keep texting me (cityindex), whenever I block them they text again some how and it won’t stop. No idea why they keep texting unless someone’s signed my number up for something. Anything you can do to stop them texting me?
