Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 60 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the service, describing it as unreliable, slow, and prone to frequent dropouts, with issues like broken eSIM activation. People also found the customer service consistently poor, citing unhelpful staff who often read from scripts, provided conflicting information, and were difficult to reach, leading to long wait times and unresolved problems. Reviewers frequently reported being overcharged or encountering unexpected fees, feeling the pricing did not justify the substandard service received. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied, noting some instances of quick and efficient service. Some reviewers also appreciated the bargain prices and found the process of organizing NBN services to be easy.

False Advertising - Not Telstra Network

They claim to cover 98.8% of Aussies, though they are a Telstra company, they don't actually support coverage in areas where you'd want the Telstra network - like in places that are only covered by Telstra, making their service essentially useless.

Boost on the other hand offers 100% of Telstra's coverage. If you're looking for good reception and customer service, use Boost instead.

Hi Bob, sorry to hear our network hasn't lived up to expectations. We use parts of Telstra's mobile network so there may be differences in some areas.

For more details on the coverage you can expect with us please take a look at our coverage map: https://www.belong.com.au/go/mobile/coverage-map -Rhys

Low score? But still the BEST Oz Telco

Amazing again with a fast fix to my stupidity and service staff available on the phone. I am surprised at the mid range rating here but think that is an indictment on the generally poor service in the industry in Australia. Belong is by far the best Telecom to deal with. Sure there have been some let downs but overall Belong systems, service, and speed is way beyond that of all the other telco's I have/had accounts with.

Absolutely shocking customer service

Absolutely shocking customer service! I referred a friend to use Belong who was confused where to put in the referral code. They submitted the request to connect anyway thinking they could just call to advise of the mistake and receive the $20 discount off their first bill....I rang the customer service area to explain and they didn't want to know about it. So now they're about to lose one long time loyal customer and a new potential customer. Not good enough!

Internet cancellation and installment

When I needed my internet installed it took them 8-10 extra days to get me connected after making a mistake by putting in the wrong address. Got it up and running and now I need it cancelled by 31/07 and they cancelled it by 19/07 and say it is a system error. The connection wasn't even offline when I received the email regarding the disconnection and called in but they could not cancel the disconnection just let it run through and reconnect it they said... Then I have now talked to them 3 times on 3 different days and they say that they might be able to get it reconnected after 5 days but they cannot promise anything. This is what does not make sense: My internet in the apartment is working though but my account is cancelled so that really shows that they don't have anything under control and that they cannot see anything about anything in their systems since that has not been noticed at all...

Takes too long for them to solve any issues or figure out what is happening...

Lost my SIM card while travelling

Lost my SIM card while travelling. Had the option to order a replacement to be delivered or purchase one at a retailer. It was only $12 at coles so I purchased one to be activated to my account. In less than 24hrs of purchase, my sim was activated, done through fb messenger. Thanks :)

So broadband died

So broadband died. It happens BUT contacted Belong via messenger on a weekend through the chatbot and promptly had an engineer sent to sort the issue. Fast efficient and no nonsense. Our previous supplier would have taken multiple calls and weeks to get things sorted. Excellent customer service and a pretty good price to boot

First day worst experience

First day with belong, website says activation has succeeded, but iphone wont recognise SIM. That's ok but I cannot get immediate customer service,I have to send them a message and they will get back when they feel like it. This means I cannot go out as I need my phone for internet. Really bad experience. I am quitting already. I would give them no stars if I could

Very slow service

Very slow service, transferring my belong service to my new address was difficult and time consuming. My account was cancelled and I did not cancel it so I went through a whole reactivation process - not happy

Incredibly helpful Twitter support

The Belong support team over on Twitter is always extremely helpful, which I find is where a lot of ISPs and companies in general fail. My service never has any down time and when ethernetted directly into the router, I pretty much always get the speed (and more) that I pay for. Very happy.

One area where Belong could improve is the potential for higher speed packages. I believe all ISPs should at least offer a 250mbps package.

I wouldn’t recommend belong to anyone

I wouldn’t recommend belong to anyone. They took my details and my card details. Took $60 from my account for a modem that I’ve never received. I tried to call them but apparently they don’t have a number so I emailed them and they told me that my details wasn’t registered with them after they had sent me a user name and a password that did not work. I’ve tried to get my money back from them but they’re refusing so the only to get my money back is to sue them for fraud.

Terrible terrible terrible customer service, stay away from them

Terrible terrible terrible customer service!! Write few reviews before consider connecting to Belong,
I have 4 days of now internet because of a simple mistake from technician, during these four day there was no small support from belong. If fact here is no phone number you can call and speak to someone. Every thing is based on filling claim on-line and they never back to you. I,m dome with hem, switched to other provider and they solve my problem withing half a day.
Even the internet speed was bad. My new provider give me much better internet speed with same NBN platform (NBN50) and similar cost.

I suppose I can't complain about the customer service when there isn't any! I had to lodge a tech support ticket for somebody to call me. I went almost Eighteen hours without an internet connection. Lucky I had data on my phone to lodge the ticket or I'd of been without an internet connection until I recharged. Avoid if this provider.

DO NOT USE OR CONNECT WITH BELONG.

DO NOT USE OR CONNECT WITH BELONG AT ANY COST.... THE ABSOLUTE "WORST" CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED WOULD GIVE "ZERO" STARS BUT NOT AN OPTION.... PLACED AN ORDER FOR NBN, THEN FOUND OUT THEY DONT SUPPORT HOME PHONE WITH THEIR INTERNET SERVICE... SO IMMEDIATELY (WITHIN MINUTES) CONTACTED AND CANCELLED THIS ORDER (RECEIVED WRITTEN/TXT CONFORMATION OF CANCELLATION)... ONLY TO FIND OUT BELONG THEN WENT AHEAD AND DISSCONECTED MY PHONE AND TOOK MY NUMBER... SO NO PHONE OR INTERNET SINCE O5/04/22... SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM NO CALLS BACK EVEN WHEN PEOMISED TO ESCALATE BY USELESS CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON AND IF THEY DID ITS WHEN I CAN'T ANSWER (AT WORK) THEN THEY CLOSE COMPLAINT... SO YOU HAVE TO START PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN... DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR GLOSSY ADDS AND LOWER PRICES... YOU WILL BE "EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED" 🤬
