Extremely disappointing service from…

Extremely disappointing service from Three UK! I requested a 30-day cancellation for my second line (ending in 9237 but due to a major system error on their end, they wrongly disconnected my main active SIM (ending in 0354) immediately instead. This leaves me with no working phone while traveling for work, causing immense stress and uncertainty. I am a loyal customer with 3 to 4 family lines, yet they couldn't fix their own error and just handed me a PAC code to leave. Completely unacceptable service! Complaint Ref: 260809104607635.

Walked in, stated what I wanted, advised of options, happy with price. All took, less than 15 mins and saved money.
Paul had assisted me a week earlier to change the account my direct debit was time taken from. All very straight forward. In and out in 5 mins. Today, again, he listened to wgat I wanted, advised the package and no fuss or hassle. Brilliant. Custimer service at its best.

Switched from personal to a business account, was informed by staff at the Edinburgh West Princes Street branch (now closed) there'd be some correspondence but just ignore it, it'll sort itself out. Ended up with a £172 default registered against me personally. Attempted complaining many times, either via their business WhatsApp or in writing, but Three UK have ignored, pretended the personal account number didn't exist. Staff at the branch also tried to resolve, but even they gave up eventually & returned the paperwork to me. Still unresolved some 4 years after it started! Last week I finally rid myself & my business of Three UK...enough was enough!

Finally abandoning this joke of a provider

I'm a long term customer of Three, and I am eager to be rid of them.

They do everything possible to give their current customers a bad deal. You will see different offers (cheaper) on their website to the app (what is offered to you personally) even without new customer clauses.

I've had two brand new device-only contracts with Three, and both times (once in store, once online) they adjusted my current sim-only contract to a worse contract without any obvious statement or just straight up not given a choice. For example, being on a 20GB/month for £15 switched to a 20GB for £21/month even though there are much better offers available on their own site.

Unfortunately due to an emergency device battery failure over a year ago I was forced onto a 1.5 year contract to get a replacement, and after they again gave me a terrible enforced sim contract for no reason I vowed I'd get away from them ASAP and make sure any friends and family abandoned them too.

I think the practices of pushing bad deals to existing customers is just bad.

What once was a great provider with included EU roaming has turned to a money grab with some of the worst deals available.

Do yourself a favour and look at offerings from literally any other provider, Three will generally be beaten with no competition. The only way I believe Three get customers is on-paper lower device-only plans, but then enforcing unusually expensive sim plans that aren't otherwise available on their site. Don't be fooled.
