Unable to register / log in using old email address

I have recently return to three but was unable to re-register or log in using my old email address

When I tried to login in, it will state that your account is closed.

When I tired to re-register, it will say someone is already using the same details registered already.

All of this was done on the phone and when I tired to swich to my laptop to login, I can never get past the page at the below url.

Hey @Thanatos,

Sorry to hear this has been causing all this hassle for you. It sounds like the issue is down to the email saved on the old account on our end rather than a browser issue. Customer services should be able to escalate for your email to be disassociated with the old account though, I'm sure once that's done it should sort this for you.

Thanks,
JonathanB

Had the same problem, after spending 45 minutes on chat was told nothing they could do and the only way round was to use a different email address. This annoyed me but went ahead and set up another email address only to then be told cannot set up app account as not the email used to set up number...........What a c+ap service.

Same.. can't use your old email and can't use a new one either as the new one wasn't used to purchase the new phone and SIM... what absolutely diabolical service! Might try going in to the shop see if I can get any sense out of them as the near on two hour chat got me absolutely nowhere! Or, I just have no app or access to my account for the next two years! CHRIST!

Hi Debs2311, I got the issue resolved in the end by emailing DPA.Officer at three.co.uk  After several weeks and numerous phone calls from them the issue was finally resolved.

I will try that then as not only can I not see my new account but when I do try to set up a new account with a new email it won't let me do that either!

Hi @bulldog5551,

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having issues accessing your previous community account, I think this is a different issue to what the others are describing though.

We set up Single Sign On to link Three Community to our My3 service a couple of months ago, and I suspect that some cookies that were keeping you logged in will have expired. Was this the first time that you logged in with the new login screen where it prompts for email rather than community username?

When you set up bulldog5551 there will have been another option to claim the old username, but can totally appreciate if you missed this. I'll check into how to restore your old username for you if you like?

Thanks,
Jonathan
