I joined Three on the 28/8/25 and immediately requested a port in from my current provider (EE) i received a text to state this would complete on the 1/9/25. Nothing happened on this day untill later that evening, i received a text from Three to state that there had been a technical delay and i may be entitled to compensation.
Since then i have been stuck with a split port. I can make outgoing calls, but incoming calls go to my old provider (EE) as the sim is still active. i also can't send or receive any SMS messages but for some reason Three can message and call me fine. Live chat is absolutely diabolical, i have been told several times the port in is complete (clearly not) and others tell me it will be done tomorrow.
This is not a very good start for Three. i am begining to regret swapping to this network. Can anyone help with this issue? as it seems to be impossible to speak to an actual human being over the phone.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @adam190,
Thanks for getting back to me, and I'm sorry to hear that you're still stuck with this.
I've sent you a PM to help put you in touch with some colleagues who will be able to get this raised with the relevant team.

I understand that, the problem is with Three's customer support (non existent). Live chat is the only option I have, and these "agents" have no idea what is going on, it's impossible to speak to a human being. I get told by multiple agents the port is complete, then another agent tells me it will be complete tomorrow (everyday I get told this), which doesn't happen. I have saved all the conversations. I would just like to speak to someone in technical support if that is such a thing at Three.

I would never leave EE ( top tier ) for Three …, that was a bad move; you are learning the hared way unfortunately.
However, I hope they ( eventually ) fix it for you but you need to give them lots of time.
Good luck to you
