    @ThreeUKSupport please could you confirm when the mast work is likely to be completed in the np20 5 area of Newport, your network checker states repairs have been taking place for a week and I have had very little or no coverage for the last week. Thanks

    @XiaomiUK @Android @ThreeUK Hey! What usually happens is, when I start a message with another 'Chat' user it can still be on SMS. I'm settings Chat will dispy as Connecting & sometimes fail. Or when another messages me they see it as txt not Chat. There's been a software update recently, it seems better now

    @samboc86 @hockey_laura @Apple @ThreeUK I hate change and I'm sure they bank on being being apprehensive about it. I'm never going back to them

    hi i’m matthew (@matthewthowells) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I don't usually have good experiences with customer support calls, but tonight's call was one of the best I've had. Finally, staff that I can clearly hear and understand. Unfortunately I am moving on from Three but your staff tonight were excellent. 👍

    @ThreeUKSupport Been through this, you won’t check as it’s a business account and the business team never follow up. 2 years ago Caerphilly had around 40mb down now it’s about 4mb down and no one there seems bothered.

    Hi @VodafoneUK ever since @ThreeUK put a new 5g mast up less than 100m from my house I have barely had any signal in my house and surrounding area. Please can you investigate postcode cf11 6dr Thank you.

  • SimoneJonesx
    Simone Jasmine Jones (@SimoneJonesx) reported from Alway, Wales

    Imagine being a @ThreeUK customer with 2 contracts for years on end and being told to find another service provider because they can’t fix the masts in my area and then refuse to refund what I’ve paid off this mobile or even pay my upfront cost for my next phone 😡 #scabs

  • CPMumma79
    Js Mum (@CPMumma79) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK be aware i just got charged £15 for a 21 minute conversation with another mobile user! That is appalling. Please explain why your charges have gone up 250% I will be changing network ASAP.

  • gordonpr1c3

    @ThreeUKSupport Shouldn't the message read, Hi, valued customer, we are super busy right now, please try again later? Or something other than we are closed?

  • peterkin1010
    Peter MacCabe (@peterkin1010) reported from Barry, Wales

    @DJAshBash @ThreeUKSupport @VodafoneUK @ThreeUK I am also on Vodafone. And I would agree they now have overall a formidable network But they have less bandwith 5G than Three..50mHz as opposed to 140mHz so when Three eventually launch 5G 5G it'll be interesting how it all pans out.

    @ThreeUKSupport Yeah and the problem was still there, my phone was changed because apparently was the phone and the problem is still here! It’s been 2 years contract in hell!! I can’t wait to finish it

  • JAMIEGRANNELL
    Jamie LFC Grannell (@JAMIEGRANNELL) reported from Newport, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport despite weeks of promises of soemone calling me and myself daily contacting you via live chat I’m still no closer to resolving issue. I have numerous contracts with you are you going to keep ignoring me as I’ll take my business elsewhere all five plans

  • Bubwal
    Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @jaybee_ms Moved to them last month. Advise against it. Data service has been awful. Wish I'd never moved provider. Tried all the main providers and 3 is by far the worst #threeuk #crap

    @ThreeUK hope network is working correctly now! Hit and miss since yesterday 🤔

  • premiaxleader
    Ropa (@premiaxleader) reported

    @ThreeUK I’ve had no calls or mobile data on 2 business lines since mid-Feb 2026. Multiple contacts, SIM & eSIM changes, still unresolved. Formal complaint sent 12 March – no acknowledgement received. This is now a serious business impact. Please escalate urgently

  • not_airspeed
    airspeed 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 (@not_airspeed) reported

    @_TeknoViking_ @ThreeUK I was worried! But happy now! I live in an awkward place with bad street access for traditional, its a faff, and the cheapest plan is like £25pm for 100Mbps

  • MiaxKempster
    mia (@MiaxKempster) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport customer support on live chat is shocking. SIM card didn’t arrive in the envelope, so contacted as it says on the envelope, and will not send a replacement due to “incurring the credit limit” I have said it didn’t arrive, so nobody should be spending any money!

  • woodenscot
    Graeme (@woodenscot) reported

    .@ThreeUKSupport is there any chance you could make your network work in the centre of Edinburgh. It is appallingly bad and has been for a very long time. I was hoping your Vodafone merger was fixing it but seems not.

  • CharlieIOD
    CharlieIoD (@CharlieIOD) reported

    @ThreeUK I have taken out a broadband contract with Three. I am not a Three mobile customer, so the digital assistant doesn't understand my question. How can I get to talk to a person?

  • DazzleB007
    Darryl (Dazzle) Brace (@DazzleB007) reported

    Is it just me or has @VodafoneUK network got worst since they merge with @ThreeUK still no support for RCS on iPhones but most upcoming 3rd party networks have support???

  • Legmo_2
    Legmo2 (@Legmo_2) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport - Hello! Ever since Vodafone and Three have merged my signal at home went from 250-300mbps download to 3-4mbps. It only goes back up when I turn my phone to airplane mode on for a few minutes and then back off. Any help would be much appreciated!

  • rachel_l_james
    rachel james (@rachel_l_james) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I’m getting a ‘working on the network in your area’ msg for SL2. We’ve not been able to use the internet since Saturday… meaning no tv or wfh. I want to know how long this is expected to go on for? Days? weeks? And why would you not reach out to us to warn us?

  • trouvailler_
    H (@trouvailler_) reported

    @ThreeUK I need urgent help. I’m overseas and have purchased a data pack but my service doesn’t work at all. Can’t even call the three customer care number. Can you please assist.

    @ThreeUK I need help with a sim and roaming issue. Your online chat it repetitive and not solving the issue
