    Won't give me a pac code - Abs Disgusting!!!

    Appalling Appalling Appalling!!!

    Left me without my number for more than 8 days now - really upset!!

    Worst company I have ever dealt with. NICEY NICEY when they want your business. Absolutely don't want to know when you leave. God knows how much I spent on the phone to them. Hopefully after reading this they will compensate me for my time, phone and anguish - NOT.

    Please please please stay well clear!!

    Some advice for people who are looking to get something sorted with a problem with Three.
    1 - Download a free app that records your telephone conversations.
    2 - Prior to going to the Ombudsman, pay the £10.00 fee to Three and get all your calls/correspondence re your problem via Freedom of Information.
    I had reason to contact Three over a phone problem. I think it is fair to say I was misled and lied to over the two months it took to sort my complaint.

    You need evidence, evidence and evidence!

    Poor security meaning that my account was hacked- this was eventually rectified after a painstakingly slow and complicated process of getting passed from pillar to post within a disorganised team which appeared to have no internal communication or common sense. The customer service team are very polite, but from my experience of phone calls with them they are not helpful as often quite poorly informed of the information I require and unless you go through to the cancellation team it takes a very long time to get through to anyone. Also infuriatingly slow to get call backs on issues I have had with more recently with their service and still having to chase them. Needless to say that after about 8 years with them I am now actively looking to move!

    I regret signing up with 3 mobile. They emphasize that they offer "unlimited broadband" - but what is the point when it is so slow you just give up attempting to use it? I swapped a 3-Mobile SIM for an O2 sim and the time to load the same page on a website went from 17 minutes to 3 seconds. Only use 3-Mobile if you want usable connectivity before 2pm in the day.

    Unlike a lot of people here, I have always found 3 great. No problems with connections, minor problems with coverage when I'm out in the sticks, speeds OK. reliable connections, and I have always found customer service to be excellent. I've just negotiated a preferential deal on a new contract and they have given me a very good deal. Can't understand why there are so many bad reviews.....

    I have an “All you can eat Unlimited data” contract with Three. Everything was going fantastic for a few months. My downloads and my streaming speed was great and so was my Internet speed.
    About 3 months ago I noticed that my signal wasn’t so good anymore and that the speed of my downloads was really bad.
    Don’t waste your time calling them because they’ll try to make you think that your SIM card is faulty or that your handset is faulty or any other thing they can distract you with to avoid to tell you that they are throttling/restricting your downloads.
    When I connect to the WiFi everything works wonderful, so my SIM and my Handset cannot be faulty.
    I called them and asked them if they were restricting my downloads and they assured me 10 times that they weren’t do anything like that, that they don’t restrict anything. So I asked them to send me an email confirming the statement they just made 10 times and they were so certain of. The answer to this of course was that they don’t send emails and that I can find that information in their website. So I asked them to direct me exactly to where in their website they mention this piece if information. After being reluctant to that and then made me wait for 15 more minutes on the line, they told me that they do have restrictions but just in peak hours. They have just lied to me, repeatedly. I was so furious that they treat the costumers like we are stupid. I used to have a service I don’t have any more. A service I’m paying for and you are supposed to provide.
    So now, I asked them to direct me exactly to where you can find that information in their website and what I could read in this link is that they restrict Internet from 3pm to 12am. You can read more in the link below.
    The question is, what is the point of that? That is exactly the hours anybody will be awake to do anything. They make it sound as if you can just set your alarm for 2am so you can wake up and watch some TV.
    They apply these fair use policies during exactly the hours people actually need access to data. What’s the point of paying for it then? Or having it all? It’s not like you’d be awake when speeds are normal.
    It’s now 12am and my download and streaming speed is poor. I experienced the same thing with Giffgaff, to the point you couldn’t even use your browser or listening to the Internet Radio. Three is just going to get worse and worse. If I were you, I wouldn’t join them. You’ll get into an endless loop of frustration and find yourself talking on the phone to people who’ll make your life so difficult that you’ll feel physically sick.
    I’m now looking for another mobile company – I can’t deal with this poor service again.

    I can honestly say I have never received worst customer service in my life! Have had problems with coverage ever since I've joined and have tried to resolve this. Like others I have been told to take a drive and see if my phone works elsewhere. Have contacted 3 customer service team on various occasions and have found them to be rude, obtrusive and generally unpleasant. I would not recommend 3 Mobile to my worst enemy.
