Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 64 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many consumers frequently complained about unhelpful customer service representatives, extremely long phone wait times, corporate unresponsiveness, and staff members who completely failed to resolve ongoing technical problems. People also experienced very frustrating internet dropouts, severe connection delays, unexpectedly slow network speeds, and sudden, unwelcome price increases over time. Though some reviewers were genuinely happy with the quick setup process, highly affordable bargain prices, and fast internet speeds. These satisfied customers truly appreciated the simple organization of home plans, convenient activation dates, and efficient, courteous assistance from certain helpful staff members.

DO NOT USE OR CONNECT WITH BELONG.

DO NOT USE OR CONNECT WITH BELONG AT ANY COST.... THE ABSOLUTE "WORST" CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED WOULD GIVE "ZERO" STARS BUT NOT AN OPTION.... PLACED AN ORDER FOR NBN, THEN FOUND OUT THEY DONT SUPPORT HOME PHONE WITH THEIR INTERNET SERVICE... SO IMMEDIATELY (WITHIN MINUTES) CONTACTED AND CANCELLED THIS ORDER (RECEIVED WRITTEN/TXT CONFORMATION OF CANCELLATION)... ONLY TO FIND OUT BELONG THEN WENT AHEAD AND DISSCONECTED MY PHONE AND TOOK MY NUMBER... SO NO PHONE OR INTERNET SINCE O5/04/22... SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM NO CALLS BACK EVEN WHEN PEOMISED TO ESCALATE BY USELESS CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON AND IF THEY DID ITS WHEN I CAN'T ANSWER (AT WORK) THEN THEY CLOSE COMPLAINT... SO YOU HAVE TO START PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN... DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR GLOSSY ADDS AND LOWER PRICES... YOU WILL BE "EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED" 🤬

Had issue with no connection

Had issue with no connection. Belong were amazing. Turns out it was an NBN issue but Belong organised a fix in 3 days since my complaint....also a weekend so I'm sure would have been more swift otherwise.

Utter scam style company with no answers

Utter scam style company.
No way to ring or contact outside of email (they eventually move you on past Facebook Messenger). More than 2 months of back and forth emails for an issue that extends back to last year. Have been shuffled to around 10 different 'people'. They make no effort to review earlier conversations to know the problem and what 'fixes' have already been applied. They struggle to give a straight answer to the problem "what speeds are expected?", "At what point does someone get sent to investigate the issue?" When checking in they couldn't correctly check the right location, but 'investigated' another location 9 hours different.

Phone Internet service is terrible for a major populated region. Their troubleshoot is redundant, with terrible questions such as "have you checked flight mode is off?" How could I be communicating with the company if it was on? Have tried with various phones and sims, with all the same problems..... dial-up (worse really) speeds. Can't even load a 300 kB image without it stalling/having to retry multiple times. Speed tests of 0.9 mb - 9mb download rates at best.

This company stalling tactics and failure to address the issue, removes any praise I once gave.

Edit- Belong: Your response to contact back on Messenger is redundant. You know this is the step 1. I have even previously raised the issue in Messenger post emailing (tech support) and was told this, "revert back to email". This only reiterates stalling tactics and not addressing the issue.

belong are charging us 25 dollars a month for a service we cant use. we asked before if our samsung galaxy s21 would work with belong. they said yes. we ordered a free sim. we did what was nessecary to move our number from telstra to belong. belong now tell us that although we have paid them and are on a 25 dollar plan we will not be able to use our phone untill we go to a telstra office and pay them to unlock our phone.
and even though we wanted the 15 dollar plan we had to get the 25 dollar plan first and change over after the first month.
pathetic company.

Hey Peter, thanks for touching base. Generally phone models like the S21 aren't sold locked so we're keen to take a closer look into what's happening with your mobile.

Just a heads up, the $15 plan is not available on activation but is unlocked after activation and you can make the change via your online account.

So we can take a look into the trouble you're having with your mobile, please send us a private message over on Facebook: https://m.me/BelongAU -Rhys

Appalling

Terrible service. We signed up with Belong, waited 2 weeks for nbn to connect us, two guys came around and said a hole would have to be drilled and they don't do that, so have to wait for someone else, though no appointment made. Belong then said that it should be connected by 15th June. Unacceptable. Tried to cancel order by email (as they have no phone!!) and find out how to return modem. Two emails sent and no response. Non existent diabolical service.

Poor email support but great FB support

Facebook messenger response is quite prompt but email support is absolutely garbage. I will advise everyone to avoid Belong email support and try FB messenger to get great service.

Constant Poor or No Mobile Signal

Since joining Belong I have constant poor or no mobile 3G/4G signals in my home & in my front yard. I lose many calls due to this constant problem. If I do happen to receive a signal it usually drops out during the call.
It's very annoying as I don't receive the service indicated!

Web support crap. Facebook support great.

The support team via the web were terrible to work with. They kept blaming PayPal for my problem and wouldn't list that it wasn't.

The Facebook team sorted things and helped.

Facebook team would have received 5 stars and the website support team had me ready to leave so I'd say a 0.

Possibly the worst internet provider…

Possibly the worst internet provider for the following reasons:
You have to send a message to make contact and then wait for a reply, this could take hours or days in my own experience.
While you’re awaiting the reply you are paying for a service that doesn’t work and you will be using your own data which is way more reliable, actually.
Then you have to wait days for a technician to come out, if the day and time suits you.
All the while paying for a service that could honestly be So Much Better.
As of now I am seeking another provider.
Update: the reply from Belong suggests to use Messenger. I have been waiting for a reply through there for over 12 hours now. Belong you have just shown how slow you are to reply, thus increasing my anger and complaints.

Horrible Experience

For the first 6 months the coverage from Belong was impeccable and we encountered no issues. Unfortunately in January 2022 we suddenly lost WIFI in the middle of a working day and the customer service from that point on was awful. In total we didn't have WIFI for 13 days and we chased and reached out on a daily basis. A customer service phone line is needed and the communication throughout from Belong was unbelievably poor. I advise messaging Belong through Facebook chat as this brought us the most success.

Hi Rory

We understand that it's vital now more than ever to stay connected. Sorry to hear that you were offline for 13 days, that's way too long!

It sounds like something wasn't quite right and if a nbn tech needed to head your way, it does depend on their availability. We should be keeping you up to date on what's going on too, and it's disappointing that you didn't hear from us enough.

We're always working to improve the Belong experience, and hopefully we can turn things around in the future. Appreciate the feedback. -Lizzie
