Just so easy

NBN 25/5 (Starter)

I have a teenage daughter and this is her first mobile. It’s so easy to keep her in data and teach her how to manage it with this system. It’s nearly fool proof !! Love it !

The worst call centre EVER!

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)

I won't include all of the extensive details of the issues I had in the 4 months of my Belong experience as the story is very convoluted, but the problem goes back to the call centre. They had no idea of their product, the NBN process in Aus, they read constantly from scripts and, sorry, each of my 6 calls to them took so long as I could not understand much of what was being said. Stay away

brilliant experience, unmatched network

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)

I have been on Belong NBN FTTP for almost 3 years and recently NBN FTTB as i relocated to a different address....Belong had been an amazing experience....almost no downtime in over 36 months...Simplified processes, best billing arrangements from 1st to last day of the month and if you join in the middle of the month you are not charged for those initial days...Amazing online and over the phone support....It really depends on nbn infrastructure at your address, if nbn network is problem free then you will have no problems with Belong. amazing value plans, very easy to connect and disconnect or relocate.

Wish I chose someone else and read reviews

Haven’t even been connected yet and the service is terrible. Being connected 06/09, requested a modem 22/08. No dispatch yet or tracking number. I have 1 more business day before I’m meant to be connected. Called customer service twice and the responses are inconsistent, unhelpful and unclear. I work from home and moving house I organised delivery early to try and make this a smooth transition but clearly not.

Offered to pay courier fees to receive it urgently but offered no other solutions just “processes” and no definitive answers.

Disgusting Behaviour by Belong

NBN 100/40 (Premium)

My home internet drops out multiple times per day for hours at a time, i spent an hour on the support line with Belong where they painfully instructed me to repeat all possible resolutions i had tried before calling them. Then they said they can offer NO support and i have to contact a technician and pay for it myself. Incredibly unprofessional I would advise anyone to pick a different provider so you can avoid a hassle like this. I should also mention we have been with them for over two years now so this is how they treat valued customers. I will be looking for a new provider very soon.

you can join and received the worst service

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)

The worst service available Maybe it's only me, but I've experienced the worst service. I recently moved homes and gave them my new address a week ago; as a result, I got the confirmation email and can start using my internet as soon as I am settled. When I first moved into a new house, there was no NBN box, which required 5 days to be delivered. When I contacted customer support, they advised that it usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the NBN to connect, and I agreed. But they were still unable to give me the service after four days. They took 2 weeks plus 4 days to complete this process, at which point I chose to switch to a different supplier. The good thing is that they did not charge me. I emailed the customer sercvie too.

Hi Darpan, thanks for reaching out. It's disappointing to hear your move order didn't go as smoothly as we'd like and you've decided to move on.

We wish you all the best with your new provider and hope we can see you back down the track. -Rhys

Rubbish Service

NBN 100/40 (Premium)

Absolute rubbish company with off shore assistance that will not help and cannot understand a thing you say. I had nothing but issues with the service dropping in & out non stop. Even after canceling my internet on a Friday they still decided to take $70 out the next Monday and would not refund my money. Don’t bother wasting your time or money with them you will just get ripped off then have to try and speak with someone that can’t speak or understand English! Rubbish service!

they have an amazing plan 25$ a month for free calls and 20gb that rolls over any un used date.
i saved 250+ GB of data over 2 years, my payment was late by a day with bank issues, just paid my 25$ monthly bill and they have wiped my 250gb, contact them and a worker and his supervision say there is nothing they can do about it. Leaving belong Joining literally anyone who has better customer service.

Ordinary service with variable customer support

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)

We had service from Belong for one year and it wasn't great. We had multiple short dropouts and interruptions over this period (longest was 4-5 hours) as well as spotty connections in a back room with the standard router. As a result changed the router but no improvement than connectivity (so supplied wifi router is not very good). CS was hard to get hold, at times ( this was peak lockdown) but was OK when reached. There are many better providers out there.

Complete screw up and Rude as hell

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)

Use to be good and great to deal with, and use to recommend to everyone. That is no longer the case. Rude staff who have the attitude of "not my job and don't want to do it". Simple and understandable error that could have, and had been years ago when it had also happened, been easily corrected was just completely shot down and dismissed. The guy didn't even want to just fix the details when he saw the update on the other account and recognised the clerical error. I've been with Belong since they started and have multiple accounts. We are now looking for another provider as their poor service, combined with rude and arrogant staff, has proved they don't deserve anyone's business.

Very poor customer support

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)

They have just started helpline call which is limited to 8am to 8pm. I am not sure if that's even working or not. Few days ago there was an internet outage and no one was picking up my call as well. And I have to call them to cancel. Why am I not able to log in to my account and cancel the service?

Your service GB usage seems to have a big hole that sucks my data up fast. Never used to go through data like this.. and a top up of 5gb is $10.. your service is turning into a dirty scam.. I’ll be dumping belong if this continues.

Worst customer service and poor business ethics!!

NBN 50/20 (Standard Plus)

I had worst experience ever with Belong. The customer service are not even bothered what customer wants. They promised me a discounted plan but charged original price. When disputed I was told that it was a mistake and they will apply discount going forward. Again after couple of months when I checked the discount wasn't there and when I called the retention team lady said I ha e to pay original price.
Secondly, they don't have a phone number so very difficult to communicate if need an urgent response.
Lots of drop outs.
STAY AWAY FROM BELONG!!!

Poor service

NBN 100/40 (Premium)

Signed up with Belong and was given a date a week later that I had to stay home between 8am and 12pm to wait for the technician.
Took the day off work and waited till lunch. Nobody came.
When I called them they said sorry about that, there was an error, they will reschedule and send another email.
Thanks.
