    @ThreeUK i literally need my phone to study yet i can't because your phone lines are down, absolutely ridiculous. i will 100% be switching after this, thank God my contract is up.

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport They said wait a week and try again, and it’s still horrendously slow.

  • TicketTattle Andrew Thomas (@TicketTattle) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @omnitix @ThreeUK first 3G only network innit

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

    @DanielIqbal1999 @ThreeUK That should not happen. If the Three signal fails a 999 call should automatically be routed through any alternative network .

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport This was in CF83 1XP and it’s been terribly slow for months now.

  • pringoli lynda pring (@pringoli) reported from St. Julians, Wales

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

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @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.

  • MK__C MK (@MK__C) reported from Barry, Wales

    Imagine waiting 30 odd minutes for the upgrades department to then be put to customer service who then says yeah upgrades is down at the moment @ThreeUK 🙃 Legit wasted my time

  • mindspits Rhys (@mindspits) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @mythofechelon @TMobile Could be a @ThreeUK issue as their network was down overnight.

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @JohnDubyaUK @ThreeUK Yeah they’re all in such a rush to get 5G out, they just seem to have given up on trying to get 4G sorted out. At least show me I’ve got a crap signal, don’t pretend it’s all full speed and awesome.

  • WildthingJ74 Johnathan Williams (@WildthingJ74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • gingio Shane (@gingio) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @jgfoxy @O2 @ThreeUK Good choice! I love being with 3 and find my signal is much better than that on my work phone which is o2.

  • KrisheleG Krishele Guzman (@KrisheleG) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Horrible T&Cs usage by @ThreeUK and #Wuntu on their Google Play offer. Tricked me into charging my bill instead of using the offer!!

  • Moe3k9 C-Note (@Moe3k9) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK fix up

  • MartynPreece79 Martyn Preece (@MartynPreece79) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUK great if you have no issues, as soon as there’s a problem they give all the bull!! 👎👎👎

  • KrisheleG Krishele Guzman (@KrisheleG) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @dlever21 @ThreeUK My problem was they added a new condition this time that said if you haven't used it since January. but @ThreeUK ran the offer in May and I used it then. Guaranteed they caught LOADS of people out 😡

  • oxWelshElisexox 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Welsh Elise🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿2k (@oxWelshElisexox) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @EnglishPhoebeX1 @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport **** mines been cutting out on calls but not no network

  • stumpy_juk Matthew Jones (@stumpy_juk) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport network issues in Cardiff..

  • welsh_stu 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Stuart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@welsh_stu) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUKSupport No improvement after a restart and I tried 3 different phones so I know it’s not my phone. The phone is on 3G most of the time anyway and it is around the same speed as 4G. The signal is absolutely terrible.

  • alunT Alun Thomas (@alunT) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @ThreeUK network down after I ios update overnight #threedown

    2/2 Please can you help and everyone who sees this, please retweet. My friend needs this sorted asap, and @ThreeUK are absolutely useless in sorting the problem.

  • gavinlew Gavin (@gavinlew) reported

    @ThreeUK any updates on eSIM support yet on the network ?

  • BPRICEY00 Beth💐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@BPRICEY00) reported

    @ThreeUK what a pile of ****, took out a new contract with you for an iPhone 14 for 65 a month and now your charging me £95 a month after 4 months of having the phone. Makes no sense at all. Can’t get no sense out of contacting you via live chat or phone call.

  • mlhenshaw Michael Henshaw (@mlhenshaw) reported

    @ThreeUK Can anyone suggest a way to contact Three from abroad? Should be simple but the numbers from overseas are not answered and cut off quickly, the live chat facility is unavailable and there is no E-mail option!! What about customer service???

  • stphn28 Steve Walton (@stphn28) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport You don’t even appear to know what’s going on inside your own business! I opened an account online, you asked me to call, I did, waited 2hrs to be told all your systems are down. I did that twice today. No one can tell me what’s going on with the account.

  • stphn28 Steve Walton (@stphn28) reported

    @ThreeUK signed up to move to you this morning, spent 2hrs in total on hold after you told me to call you and you’re systems are down all day apparently. Worst experience - what are you doing about it? Just close the call centre if you can’t do anything instead of making me wait

  • jadesharp1992 Jade Sharp (@jadesharp1992) reported

    @thomdw @ThreeUKSupport hey, esim is now supported if you're a new customer joining the network, they launched it for new customers today, think it's coming for current customers later on in the year.

  • umbro786 Umbro Khan (@umbro786) reported

    @ThreeUK I thought you said you going to beat EE network in 5G coverage. Where is it?

  • ZZoola14 ZanaZoola14 (@ZZoola14) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport been without internet over the 5G wifi hub for over 24 hours, and sketchy working for over a week. When will the issue be resolved in the NN8 area?

  • JCapitalBlogs J Capital (@JCapitalBlogs) reported

    @ThreeUK can numbers on your service validate twitter account?
