Three UK pledges to help keep the nation connected

Including the personal shopper experience without leaving the sofa 

5 November 2020: Three UK is showcasing a range of enhanced customer support tools, to help keep new and existing customers connected as the UK fluctuates through regional and country-wide lockdowns.

As the UK’s Most Popular Network Provider*, Three pledges to help keep the nation connected during a year when staying in touch with family and friends has never been more important. Following the closure of non-essential shops in England today, and similar restrictions across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the connectivity brand has developed more innovative ways to meet customer needs from the comfort of their home. 

Three Store Now** – the personal shopper experience without leaving the sofa

Three Store Now connects customers with dedicated store advisors for a one-on-one virtual personal shopper experience.

Going beyond the standard live chat service, it offers a unique way of answering questions on the perfect device or mobile tariff, by sharing videos and photos live from the shop floor, tailored to the individual’s needs. The advisors can now also check on a customer’s contract end date and help them with upgrades. So, whether it’s a comparison of the latest handsets or upgrading to the new iPhone, the Three Store Now team are on hand to help.

The service has new extended hours – with advisors available 9am-8pm Monday to Saturday and 9am-6pm on Sunday. Three has more than 450 dedicated Three Store Now advisors and more than 2,000 people are using this service each day. For more information visit www.three.co.uk/three-store-now
