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.

Support Chat - Person

I was told there were extra conditions not listed in the T&Cs. First the offer was said to be for new customers only, then that changed when I pointed out existing customers were included. I was denied the deal and a price reduction as they arent allowed, then offered a $15 discount after complaining. This inconsistency makes me question the fairness and clarity of the terms and how existing customers are treated.

Don’t waste your time

Don’t waste your time & money on these fools.
Had an unpaid day off work for a technician appointment between 1-5pm. At 5.05 I had a text saying they don’t have the staff to for fill the appointment.
Why they couldn’t tell me this earlier in day, who now’s.
There customer service is in a sorry state.
Will never join with them again.

Absolutely appalling.

Absolutely appalling.

My mother’s phone was destroyed in a devastating house fire and she needed to call up and get her old number back on a new sim so she could do two factor authentication and get back into everything again.

My mother was treated with ZERO urgency and ZERO care after her home was destroyed.

DISGUSTING customer service. SHAME.

Hi Harlynd, we’re really sorry to hear about what your mother has been through. Losing a home in a fire is devastating, this should have been handled with far more care and urgency. This isn’t the experience we want anyone to have, especially in such difficult circumstances. We take this feedback seriously and would like to help make things right for you. Please reach out to us at 1800 950 885(9am-5pm AEDT) and we’ll have a closer look. - Sweeney

I'm very happy with Belong

I'm very happy with Belong, they are Very quick to sort out everything U need, my speed on higher plan is quite fast, the only downside I really struggled to understand call centre, very hard to hear very hard to understand, what I could fully be sure if is that it was from overseas India. Wish I could speak to an Australian, who understands me and who I understand also. Although they did a good job, it was so very difficult on my part to understand although they could understand me Easily.
But I've always loved BELONG. I have left before and fully regretted it, Billing is very clear, can pay more in advance, and share your data with same network users. RARELY I GIVE 5 STARS, BUT TRUTH BE SAID, BELONG IS THE BEST...

I would have clicked zero if it was an option! Horrendous service technical support that can’t speak English. Absolutely no assistance in getting my internet reconnected after it was accidentally disconnected and was told within the hour of being disconnected it would take 3-5 business days to fix. Horrendous!!!

Terrible!

Frustrating speaking to the customer service who just read off a script and don’t even answer your questions. I have 2 accounts and the lady went into the wrong account for almost an hour when I kept telling her it was the other account. What a waste of time! Line is very crackly and their accent is so difficult to understand. They just talk over you when you are trying to speak, you can’t even get your message across.

Don't bother worst service

We’ve been customers for 6 years and upgrading to FTTP was the worst decision. Since the upgrade, our internet has been constantly dropping out and is completely unreliable. Customer service is beyond useless! they just keep saying “it’s fine on our end” and refuse to actually investigate, send a technician, or take responsibility. No compensation, no solutions, just being brushed off over and over again. This is honestly ridiculous for a service we’re paying good money for. If you value stable internet or competent support, don’t bother with Belong.

I usually don't review anything but belong customer is so bad, filled with bunch of a***les.
I ported my number to belong and after that I stopped getting calls from anyone using Optus network ( Not Optus service but any company that uses Optus network) which most of people use. I tired to call belong andi gave up after 2 hours waiting. I wrote them email explaining the issue and instead of acknowledging the issue they started to ask questions like what time I didn't get call from what number ( they wanted exact time) which I provided but I don't know how but they are bunch of idiots, send me email after 2 weeks that my service is now working fine. I checked and it was still not working so I wrote them again, to which they replied with same questions. After I month of writing them they sent me an email yesterday that my phone is working fine now and guess what it is not. I wrote them again and they are again asking same question. I has been more than a month but they haven't fixed the issue.

Belong by Telstra…..Run don’t Walk

My god what was I thinking by transferring to this company. I’m now stuck in limbo trying to reconnect to another provider. Can’t believe that I fell for this scam. Try contacting customer service what a joke and I blame The Good Guys for making this service so attractive.Shame on me for not investigating Belong before transferring.

Worst internet company

Worst internet company. Do not go with them. They are unreliable, unresponsive and not helpful. They sent a technician to fix the problem but it is not fixed and calling Belong were the only way we could get another technician, Belong were incompetent in passing on the reason why we needed a technician. They wanted me to bring an electrician to fix the Nbn problem or to buy a new modem. Now I will let all my family to move their internet from belong.

Worst internet company

Worst internet company. Do not go with them. They are unreliable, unresponsive and not helpful. Phone calls with them end up in circles. Our NBN got fried during a storm. Belong were the only way we could get a technician, the tech kept cancelling multiple times and not attending to address the issue (changing the box). Belong were incompetent in passing on the reason why we needed a technician.

I want to change from physical sim sim to esim.
I have a note 20 ultra, also just purchased a tab s10 ultra.
I asked about an esim with the same number to use in both devices. (Sick of swapping the sim card).
After being told that it is possible, now being told it is not possible.
All other carriers in Australia allow you to have an esim with the same number to use on separate devices.
I understand that you can only use one device at a time.
As belong is owned by telstra, I cannot understand why belong does not offer the same.
SHIT GO BELONG!!!!!!!!
No wonder you have shit reviews.
And I've been with you for 6 years now.
Time to move on.

Poor Customer Service

The customer service at Belong is terrible, the woman who was on call was rude and judgemental by telling me that I should have called earlier about the problem I had with my sim even though they told me it’ll take a bit after I activate. She put all the blame on me and didn’t even try to help me. Worst experience I’ve had ever in my life.

With belong for over 5 years

With belong for over 5 years, 2 phones and internet plan. The internet has gone from $59.95 to $88.00 so I cancelled the internet for the end of the billing cycle which is month to month. 11am today 31st August my internet stops working, 13hrs before the end of the billing cycle. Belong is telstra's cheap and nasty alternative and they have proven that in this situation, i am changing to another carrier that is giving me faster speeds for a cheaper price and the price is a permanent price not discount for 6 months.
In reply to belongs response. The customer service agent I spoke to on the day that my service ended 13hrs early said" we are allowed to cancel the service at anytime on the last day, we have done nothing wrong as it is within our terms and policies " and if you were taking my feedback seriously you would have contacted me about the situation instead of replying to this review as a publicity stun.
