Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the service, describing it as very poor and expressing concerns about the value received for their payments. Customers frequently reported issues with slow and unstable internet speeds for both mobile data and home broadband, along with lagging TV streaming. The pricing was also a major concern, with many feeling the packages were unfair, overpriced, and offered stingy data allowances that drained quickly. Reviewers also found the customer service to be terrible, with long wait times, unhelpful agents, and a reliance on frustrating automated systems. They experienced difficulties reaching human representatives and felt their complaints were ignored or unresolved. Additionally, some customers noted poor network coverage, especially during natural disasters, and issues with technology, such as outdated 2G reliance and poor Wi-Fi router coverage.

Dialog network is like an open book.

Dialog network is like an open book.. many spammers are syphoning credit balances from the dialog numbered phone credit..within a minute a spammer by the name of "FUNBOOK" took away rs. 200/ from my dialog phone credit. When querried with dialog, instead of securing their network they are blaming the consumer..wondering if dialog has a close connection with the spammers.

Appalling Customer Service > Dialog Axiata PLC

Why charge, if Dialog TV service did not work since March 2024?
Even if we try to use it, it never worked!
Nevertheless, the customer service is saying that we have to pay the outstanding amount as the connection status from Dialog Axiata PLC end is active???
How can a connection be active but the customer is not receiving any TV reception or signal (nothing, nada)?
Not very happy !
And do not have a single point of contact or person responsible looking after your issue; we received email replies from 3 different customer service people!
Utter waste of our (or your) valuable time!

Total Rip-Off: Poor Customer Service!

I’ve made two calls, but my issue is still unresolved. I was told a manager would call back, but after waiting over 30 minutes, I received no response. To make matters worse, I was charged for calls related to their mistake! This is a total rip-off, Dialog. The other communication channels to reach Dialog are a nightmare. The only solution left is to change the management. It’s disgraceful how customer service has declined over the years.

Finally, their service, there is no way to contact their agent, tell us our problem, ask us to chat on whatsapp, the crazy man does not answer the questions we ask, when an agent is contacted to chat, he does not know how to solve the problems, lastly their service

Inaccurate billing - almost verging on Fraud

I moved to an apartment and requested dialog to transfer the account to my name from the previous person & continue WiFi only. The account was finally changed to my name after 3 months. With incorrectly spelled name.
( even though I gave my passport )

Dialog billing is inaccurate & borders on fraud. They try to blackmail customers by cutting WiFi and forcing inaccurate payments. I have paid excessive amount since February to dialog for my fiber account. Still Working to sort the payments …
They have created a broadband account & a fiber account connected to a contract number. Why three numbers?
The bill I received 1/4-30/4 does not show my payments made. In addition my guests did not have WiFi twice now I had to stop my work and sort this costing me huge amount of time & earnings ! Watch out for bills and read the contract carefully. Dialog seems a monopoly too!

Dialog deception & lies!

Dialog
Misleads you to sell whatever they want. I went to dialog Ratmalana three weeks back, because I wanted to change my SLT connection cos it was getting unaffordable!, dialog took my home address to check the signal availability, showed me it was perfect, five bars. Asked me how many live at home and what are the appliances I normally use, then they confirmed again, that I will have a perfect connection. Believing them , paid 8000/- bought the router and the viuMini, from day one have huge issues, cannot watch TV, damn thing keeps rotating, my cctv doesn’t work, called the hot line many times, the only solution they propose is to buy ( repeater) another gadget a plug in device, even that they cannot guarantee . Now I am obliged to go back to SLT, so my advice to all is to avoid such adventures stick with SLT!

Disappointing

If you ask for assistance they call you with silly questions. Errors not corrected. Only waiting to send sms: Your case has been closed. Without telling anything else. Top priority to disappoint customers, denying assistance.
