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.

they offer cheap prices, but poor coverage

It's great that they offer cheap prices and good internet service BUT in out back Queensland no reception. Zilch charters towers to Bourke stuff all. Had better coverage with boost than with belong. Big mistake thinking they would offer good coverage.
No idea how they got an award for good service, didn't offer any help when contacted them.

Bad Experience

I booked an appointment with Belong 4–5 days ago to install a new NBN box. The appointment was scheduled for Thursday between 1 PM and 5 PM, and I even took time off work to be there.

No one showed up during the scheduled time. Then, at 7:30 PM, a technician finally arrived, looked at my NBN box, and said he couldn’t fix it and that I’d need to book another appointment.

Very unprofessional service, no communication, and a total waste of my time. Extremely disappointed.

The Belong Refund

This is about a refund for the internet, the call center is obviously overseas and the connection was terrible, also it sounded like a Scam initially especially when asked for my bank account details, which i was very reluctant to give out, however i did receive a confirmation email stating it was from Belong, overall very poor process of obtaining the refund

Hi Colin, it’s disappointing to hear we’ve left you feeling this way. That’s definitely not the kind of experience we want for our customers, especially when it comes to something as important as a refund. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it on to the team so we can work on improving the process -Sweeney

Constant price increases.

Constant price increases.. My monthly plan has gone from $10 per month in August 2022 to now being advised of $25 per month to take effect from 1st July 2025. That's a 150% increase in less than 3 years!
Of course they try and justify it by adding some extra data which is not needed but it's clearly just a money-grab.

Been a customer now for many years and I haven’t ever had any issues with Belong, they have some of the best value BYO device plans available in the market and including data banking. I’m still waiting for e-sim support though, it’s a shame it still isn’t available, I have another service I want to move to Belong but will only be able to do so when e-sim is available.

Great service

Have been with Belong now for a few years and have never had an issue, internet speed is perfect for our family of 3.
Great value for money, and can pay monthly or annually quite easily.

Connection kept dropping out several times a day. Reported on three separate occasions but no improvement. On final call to customer service was told that the modem was faulty and that I'd have to pay to get it replaced.
I told the Belong rep that I could get a free modem with a new ISP. He agreed and recommended that was the best way forward.
Hard to believe but Belong customer service reps are suggesting clients go elsewhere.
It's hard to believe they're still in a job and that Belong is still in business.

extremely expensive for what its worth

extremely expensive for what its worth

other providers are offering decent deals meanwhile belong is the most expensive 100/17 nbn plan that constantly slows down and requires the router be restarted

spoke to a customer service rep that said belong refused to give ANY discounts to existing customers, very disappointed

Internet consistently dropping out

Internet dropping out so much anything is unwatchable. As for working from home, forget it!! Can’t help with any upgrades to internet fibre to curb. I feel like we have wasted the technician’s time twice now as Belong have told us the upgrade is unavailable in our area which in fact it is. Was informed we need to change provider to get the upgrade??

I wish I could give negative rating

I wish I could give negative rating. I have been chasing for nbn connection from past 4 days and today heard from support staff that modem shipment is delayed. They can’t even amend order to activate service. No communication whatsoever that shipments are getting delayed and when modem will arrive

My phone number was PORTED by BELONG to…

My phone number was PORTED by BELONG to another SIM and then that SIM was used to rip me off at my bank.
All that is required to STEAL your number is a phone call or Internet connection, your date of birth and BELONG happily shifts your number to someone elses phone. NO CHECKS or PHONE CALL to the owner to see if this their wish.
Even after I raised the issue and Belong sent me an EMail saying my number was blocked the thief contacted Belong AND HAD IT UNBLOCKED so they could continue to try and steal from my account.
(Thankfully I had contacted my bank so no more losses)
What sort of security is this.
Customer service gives the standard (Belong) spiel of this is policy, we have checks and balances, you must have done something wrong etc.
All they wish to do is dodge any RESPONSIBILITY re the theft of the number through their own slack security.
The ACMA Mobile Number Portability Code (which covers ALL Telcos) states that "before porting a number, you must check that the customer is the right-of-use holder"
I received SMS at NIGHT saying "if not me then contact them". I was ASLEEP so knew nothing till next morning.
A phone call at that time would have alerted me to the situation.
An SMS?????
Pathetic
Belong is a branch of Telstra and Telstra web says they block heaps of scams every day.
BULL SHiiiit !!!!!

Hi there, we're sorry to hear about the unauthorized charges on your bank account. While we cannot provide specific information about the account associated with your bank details due to security reasons, we recommend contacting your bank to dispute the charges as it may be fraudulent activity. Additionally, please ask your bank to stop any future transactions to prevent further charges. -Will

They want to disconnect my 4G dongle for no reason.

I have this Telstra 4G USB data only (Sierra Wireless 320U) that still operates on the 4G post the 3G shutdown. They want to disconnect it on the 28th of November for no reason. it is not a voice handling device that relied on 3G services for 000, it is data only.

As per their reply below - they are my provider - my device does not fall within the scope of the 000 determination and it is still connected on the 4G network in LTE mode and uses the other higher frequency bands instead of the 700Mhz which it does not need - it gets a higher data rate when it uses the 1800 or 2100 Mhz frequency bands - higher frequency band = higher data rate.

The 700Mhz requirement on the telstra link below is for voice capable VoLTE devices which require 000 (or 112) access, my device (google telstra netgear 320U) is DATA ONLY and is without a headset or dialer for any 000 service.

Not sure why they want my device it to run on 700 Mhz - what to make it go slower??

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. You'll need to contact your provider to confirm how your device is affected by the 3G closure. Alternatively, you can visit this link for more information https://www.telstra.com.au/support/mobiles-devices/3g-closure -Sweeney
