don't bother

published

I have signed up 3 days ago and have not been able to make or receive calls.
It is connected because I receive missed call messages.
It is part of Telstra but its not using there system. I have a Telstra booster which is showing 5 bares, my phone only shows 1 bare. I have tried a different known phone same thing. I have driven to a large regional city where I have gotten 5 bars but still no in or out calls can be made. The only contact you have with them is threw emails which they say could take 24 hours to respond to. It is now 2 days since sending several help enquires and not a single response,

Porting took me number of calls to resolve. Worst services. Account does not show any credit after activation of porting

published

I ported new sim $40 and received additional $50 credit due to the promotion in December 2022. My account did not have this amount even though it was showing after activation. Belong deducted $40 from direct debit in first month and continued debit from account following month. its completely rip off.

What a bunch

published

Cancelled belong on account of unreliable service, though keep contacting me for next payment, though cancelled before LAST PAYMENT was due. I'd like to admire something about them though can't find a single thing that they're good at.

Cant make or receive calls

published

I moved over to Belong because of price and that it's on the Telstra network and it now seems like it was too good to be true. With my job, I rely heavily on my phone but for whatever reason 'm unable to make or receive calls. This leading me to have to waste time and use a landline. Very frustrating.

Extreme call drop

published

I never had a call drop while calling abroad until I switched to Belong. Insanely frequent call drop, driving me crazy. Not sure what kind of technology Belong is using, technical team must work on this. This is really a poor service in 2020.

Belong great service for $15 :)

published

I was very happy with your service. All inquiries were solved by app so I can't complain:) The only issues were: reception as it wasn't the best at my home and no roaming:( Btw, I was previously with Optus and I have never had any issues with reception. Unfortunately, you've recently canceled a few countries from your list of unlimited international calls so I can't use you anymore:( Many thanks for over the last 2 years!

Replacement SIM, even worse!

published

Got a replacement SIM due to the fact I couldn't receive text messages from my daughter in NZ. Now not only can I not receive SMSs from her, I can't receive texts from any other NZ contacts and now my SMS won't send. I can still call NZ. My wife is on the same plan but has no problems sending or receiving messages from NZ. Have tried my wife's SIM IN my phone - still works so it's not my phone.Have tried several things recommended by the support team but to no avail. It's a shame as it's not doing what I'm paying for. Come on Belong! You can do better!

Poor coverage and customer service

published

I had to cancel Belong service due to poor coverage in the area I am located and informed I was transferring to Telstra. They disconnected my number (which I have had for 10 years now and was given to me by Vodafone previously) without questioning if I wanted to keep it and now I can't transfer it to Telstra. I am trying to resolve this issue for 5 days now and the last info I Had is that I lost my number. Tried to talk to someone via phone but they don't offer this option. Very upset and will contact the Telecom Industry Ombudsman.

Hi Taylor, the link above took me to a blank page. I am tired to write the same thing again at different channels to get what I need which is simply for you to make my number available so i can port it to Telstra. Is it that hard?

So far pretty good.

published

Just changed rating:
It’s been over a week I can not login to look/ change account . It says Unsuccessful HTTP response
Unable to contact support due to Covid.
Moving numbers over was easy. I love the fact that you can share your data with friends and family and save it! That is the main reason why I decide to give them a go. Unfortunately Italy has been removed from the international calls (starting end of March). Also I don’t like there is no answering machine. Would give it 5 starts if that was to happen.

Please help. It’s been over a week I cannot log in it says Unsuccessful HTTP response

24 Days to get reconnected after following all procedures laid out and now charged 14 days earlier than promised.

published

I lost 9 days pay due to the 24 Days to get reconnected with Belong due to the short staff of Tech's. I have also found out the Telstra Shop will not help you out with any issues with Belong as I was told at the Ballina Fair Telstra Shop. I had excellent service with the helpline employees at Belong. I did feel that they were frustrated as they could not help with the issue as much as the would have like to.
The Icing on the cake was after the connection was completed of one disconnected wire in the external street box, Belong had promised 30 days free service and money was taken out 14 days earlier than promised. Disappointed.

Belong number porting

published

I ported my number from a provider to Belong, it is more than a week, ten days now. Number is not activated.
Previous provider has deactivated service. Customer service is not of any help. They send automated replies to wait for another 24 hours. Worst mistake to move to Belong. I asked for call back two days ago no one has called till now.
I really wonder do they have actually real persons in customer service or all automated responses.

Terrible customer service - unreliable network coverage

published

Low network coverage. Drops out regularly.
Incredibly bad customer service, takes over 11 phones calls to have any actions confirmed - Looking forward to changing to a new plan with better service.

Reliable but very very disappointed customer...

published

My husband and I have been with Belong for about 2 years now. We both loved the service just as reliable as Telstra and we are very happy with the international inclusion however the country that I myself occassionally call and text is going to be taken out from the list. Hmmn very very very disappointed. I had introduced 3 people to Belong. Now, we are going to move to another telco company that offer included unlimited call to the Philippines, others offered 300 min of calls which plenty for me.
I must say goodbye Belong for your service that I have truly been satisfied however I have no choice but move to another telco that give me the service that once I have enjoyed from BELONG.

Good suggestion but not all the people who I’m in touch with have internet connection, I needed to ring or text via mobile phone. Since you can not provide this service to Philippines after March so therefore soon is time to say goodbye.

Be prepared to lay aside 5 or 6 hours.

published

So I joined up with belong today and knew that swapping telcos was going to bring the usual time wasting exercise it brings. So I had the SIM and created an account. Four hours later I was actually a belong subscriber, too good to be true you ask, exactly. So I try to log into my account and I get a message, incorrect user name or password, this is straight after signing up with belong using my email and creating a password. So four hours of messages backwards and forwards with multiple different passwords tried belong send me a link to open for support. You know where the link takes me, yeah you guessed it, to my home page to log in with my user name and password so that I can ask for support.

International calls

published

I have been with Belong mobile for some time and have never had any problems. There have been no dropouts, data speed was fantastic. I have never once needed to ring up for any glitches. However, I am disappointed as they are changing a few of their international calling countries. Why are telcos always changing this? Is there other alternatives around this.

After getting the invalid sim message, I bought a new sim only to keep getting the same message

Hi. I can't answer. My message was that the sim can't be activated, try another. Have had lots of messages with Support who say wait for the email saying to insert the sim. No message yet. Over 3 days (admittedly over weekens but still..)

Belong
BelongBelong

Thanks for taking the time to share this with us, Lisa -- It's so odd you've had the same thing has happened with two different Belong SIM cards!

Have you tried your SIM in another phone? If it works in another device, it could mean that your phone hasn't been unlocked by your previous carrier or the network settings need to be reset. Check with your original provider that they've unlocked your phone, keeping in mind that there can sometimes be a fee associated with this. You can reset the network settings under the 'General Settings' of your device or by referring to the user manual.

We hope this helps you get up and running, but feel free to send us a message on Facebook if there's anything else you need --> https://m.me/BelongAU -Chris

I switched to Belong mobile about a week ago. I signed up for an account and was able to port my number, and was very pleased that it was so fast to connect. However, I have not been able to sign in to my account via the app or online and I’ve tried to do so on a few different devices. I keep getting the message Http unsuccessful. When I try to lodge a support request, I get the same message

Glenasked

Hi, I am currently using Pennytel which is owned by Mynetfone for my mobile service. I want to switch over to Belong, however in the setup process there is no option to choose Pennytel/Mynetphone as a provider for porting the number. Hence I am unable to port my number to Belong. Can someone please assist with the porting of my service.
Regards Glen.

Hi Glen thanks for considering us, we're keen to have you on board!
You can select the 'other' option or choose any of the providers, whichever one you pick won't affect if the port is successful or not. -Lexi

Hi Lexi, The option 'other' is not available in the list. When I picked us the provider as Telstra it still gives me a porting error.

Regards Glen

What does the error say, Glen? Can you try porting over in another browser and just select another company from the list and then let us know if that goes through? -Viktor
