### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2023-11-04*

Doesn’t work. Instructions not clear. Topped up£35 and still no data. Support can’t help and have to refer to someone else and told me it could take 72 hrs to get a response. I’m travelling and relying on data for mapping etc. also way overpriced after talking to other people that only pay £20 for unlimited everything.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for Americans

*2023-06-14*

Bought the SIM card and downloaded the app. It didn’t work for my unlocked iPhone X while I was in Denmark. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Registration loop

*2022-10-07, version 1.4.0*

It won’t let me register my number. It just keeps going in a loop of asking for my number then email then not doing anything. Customer support also very un helpful

### 5/5 — Can't log in

*2022-10-06, version 1.4.0*

Good morning... My purpose in sending this message is I can't log in to the three pay-as-you-go applications, I am using three sim cards for 1 year, and every month I top up my sim card by three applications but now I can't log in please can you check what's wrong?
Thanks

### 1/5 — New card fails

*2022-09-06, version 1.3.9*

I just put in my new car that I paid for and tried to make my first phone call. The service said that I had no credit after I had activated the card. So I’m exceedingly disappointed that the card I paid for seems to have no pertinent value.

### 1/5 — Cheated

*2022-09-04, version 1.3.9*

SIM card I bought doesn’t work 

Was supposed to be a 2gb data sim but it’s making me pay.  This is trash

### 2/5 — Torture

*2022-09-02, version 1.3.9*

No way to contact tech support except through chat-no phone or email-so a simple question can easily take an hour 
Little things like forcing reentry of phone number and email address again and again show no consideration for customers’ time and frustration

### 1/5 — USA user

*2022-08-09, version 1.3.9*

unable to purchase anything from the site

### 1/5 — Problems from the Get GO!

*2022-07-23, version 1.3.9*

I’m so frustrated with 3 right now that  I can’t begin to sort my thoughts!   Big mistake for me to choose 3.

### 1/5 — DON'T BUY!! - bad service in UK & horrible customer service

*2022-07-08, version 1.3.9*

BUY FROM A DIFFERENT SERVICE PROVIDER!! 
I bought my SIM card in Heathrow airport.
My service in the Uk was terrible to non existent. 
But once I got to France and Italy it worked well. 
I topped up after a month of service with the guidance of a live chat agent. I had to buy a voucher from a third party website which seemed sketchy and was also time consuming. 
But since my service outside Uk was good, I proceeded. I was charged an £8 processing fee from ding.com in addition to the £35 I purchased so I could buy the unlimited data plan. 
I notified the agent I was in Italy and would continue traveling so I want the unlimited pack. She failed to mention I only get 12gb traveling abroad. 12gb total. So even if you top up you can't use the data... So now I've had to buy a new SIM card since I can't use my 3 SIM card even though I had topped up. Customer service was completely unhelpful and just kept telling me there was nothing they could do to refund me. I asked for them to at least credit my account and they said they couldn't do that either (eye roll) I didnt even have one full day of service after I topped up so you'd think that would be easy to just pause the service or just give me a credit since I couldn't us it. They just politely told me no and there was nothing they could do for about an hour and half. So I highly highly recommend going with a different service provider!!
