I was considering to switch to the AGL mobile service, as an existing AGL energy custome. Thankfully, i went to product review, to check the experiences of others. Seems like the AGL customer service for mobiles, is very similar to their customer service for energy, so I am deciding that I wont ever look at AGL again for mobile service, now that I have reviewed the reviews. Thank you product review, for allowing people to give genuine reviews

Extra bills- spoke through the online chat and tried to get a new eSIM because I was changing phones. Apparently with agl you can’t transfer esims without paying a new activation fee $10. Spoke to [Name Removed] on the online chat declining and not accepting the extra charge. Well what do you know, I get my bill and get a charge. Called the AGL… Read more

number and spoke to an India based representative- and said it is “policy” that the charges are applied and then you get credited back the $10 on the next bill. Could not read me any policy or refused to provide any email confirmation of the policy. It’s just $10 but if they do that to every single person who doesn’t dispute it- it’s very unlawful

I have tried to sign up for the medium sim plan. It requested me to download the app and register. It wouldn't recognise the email address as valid, even though it was the same address as I signed up for. Simply couldn't proceed. I called CS, identified myself, explained the problem, and could not get him to initially understand that it was an… Read more

app registration issue, not a signup one. He kept linking me to the signup page. Eventually, he had an "ah" moment but then claimed I had AGL services I simply do not have. Like what?

I got over that hurdle, but he admitted defeat and passed me over to someone else. Whereupon I had to repeat the security questions.

She finally gave up and said she has referred it to support...and promised resolution within three days.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I wasn't given an e-sim option, so AGL sent a package via courier....which didn't arrive on the day it said it would, naturally. My expectations, by now were quite low.

Package eveentually arrived, and went in the bin.

Just NO.

As an aside, I had a small number of AGL shares. Sold.

I just got off the phone with AGL customer services. I have to say a very unpleasant experience. For background. I am a AGL customer for Electricity and mobile services. I have just purchased a phone which requires an eSIM. I tried the website but it was funnelling me into a new plan. For the record I am happy with my current AGL mobile plan.… Read more

So I called AGL customer services to see if they could help. The guy who answered (Navinder - if that is his name) was incredibly rude and obnoxious and quite unhelpful. I’m so disappointed with AGL for this. People ring customer services for help, not to be spoken to in a condescending tone and then be generally unhelpful. Because of this guy I will be looking to leave AGL once I find another provider. AGL - if you read this, please do better. It’s not hard. You are losing a customer today because of this.

Had been a loyal customer since last couple years. But customer complaints handling is disaster. Because of their fault I had not data internet for a week and not even sorry about that. They didn't fix the issue after 3 calls hours of talk and then were trying to calculate amount for those couple days. Wow shocked to see how they don't realize how it affects someone not having internet for a week.

sim is activated from AGL, which it hasn’t activated yet. As I’ve lost money as a result of not being connected and work, I will raise a complaint with all the relevant documents to ACCC and will get compensation for each day that I was not connected.

The activation team doesn’t even know how to activate a sim – Imagine calling to activate your sim only to be told you don’t need to activate it just put it in your phone and it will magically activate because that is what person in the call centre did when they got a new sim. I ended finding a way to activate it myself, literal joke of customer service. Show details

center boys even say many complaints coming we cant do anything .. The onshore employees are nothing just useless bunch starting from [Name Removed], He mentioned that i will call you back about the the warning and never returned call just send a no reply message saying you have to track the calls on international calls and end me billing $154 for a month answering to me like that [Content Removed]. WHY ON SHORE AUSSIE OFFICE DOEST NOT even care to return the call and answer on the warning or tracking escaping by just sending no reply TEXT . They deliberately just avoid calling because they don't have any answer . Another girl on onshore is giving [Name Removed] good behavioral certificate other than solving the issue ( why not tracking or why not any text send to us warning on that international calling quota is finished ) . When you working in company be responsible to what you say that .. Even one of the other guys answered have agreed there is mistake in that .

Please any one this is not a good company to deal in mobile connection, STAY AWAY , I will circulate this in my community page as well in my friend circle

Very poorly managed Costumer services – I am extremely disappointed with AGL Telecom's customer service. I have been trying to get my eSIM QR code, but every time I contact them, I am told to wait 24 hours for an email. After waiting over 24 hours and still not receiving it, I reached out again, only to be told that a new ticket would be raised and I should wait another 24 hours. This is beyond frustrating and feels like a joke. Such poor service is unacceptable. Show details

Treated like a child – AGL Energy customer for 10+ years. Offered a deal of 50GB for $30 to switch to AGL Mobile, much better more data than I was on. Signed up and ported my number over. Activation was a bit clunky, but we got there. App worked well, and we had two months where everything was as it should be. And then... Checked my data limit with one day to go. 1.5GB… Read more

available. Streamed a movie, should have been around 0.7-1.1GB. No issues, all fine. Later that day, SMS stating I'd gone over and 1GB of data had been added to my account & a charge of $10. That's okay. 30 minutes later, another SMS stating I'd gone over and another 1GB of data had been added to my account & another charge of $10. That was quick, decided to stay off my phone. 2 hours later, another SMS stating I'd gone over and my 3rd and last 1GB of data had been added to my account, with yet another charge of $10. I turned off my mobile data, I could wait until tomorrow when it reset. And this is where it gets interesting.

I awoke the next day, turned my data back on. Checked my bill rollover, and yes, another 50GB was there. Went about checking my emails. SMS came through stating I was being charged $1 per MB. Checked the AGL app again, yep, 50GB was there and I had used 110MB. SMS came through stating my service had been disconnected until my next billing period. Called AGL and was on hold for 40 minutes with no response. With no network, I was dead in the water. Had to use the WIFI at a McDonald's to get onto someone.

4 days later and I still have no network. I spent the first day getting nowhere, with all the AGL bots turning me around in circles. It took me 1.5 hours just before I got onto an actual person. Since then I have spoken with [Name Removed], [Name Removed], [Name Removed], [Name Removed], [Name Removed], and [Name Removed], over 4 days, with me finally finding out that my network has been barred and that they cannot modify the status from pending. I have done this all while using my neighbours WIFI(they let me). I thought it might reset once I got my bill, but no, it hasn't. And my bill is $130(?), meaning I somehow managed to use 5GB in the last few hours of my last day of billing. Maybe, though I doubt it. I don't download and only streamed one movie. Perhaps the app isn't accurate, and simply caught up, eventually. Pretty big discrepancy. But...

I really don't mind that I went over, and now have to pay. It's direct debited, AGL will get that money, no worries. But why is my service now barred because I went over, and I have waited a week, dead in the water for it to be reactivated? Why not just shut off my data after the 3rd 1GB? And why, and this is the big one, why CAN'T YOU JUST TURN MY NETWORK BACK ON?

I have spent hours and days waiting for some support. I see AGL monitors this. I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years, spending over $20k+, with absolutely no issues what-so-ever. And in 3 months, you have left me without a fairly vital communication service for a week! Had I gone over on my electricity, would you have turned my power off and left me in the dark?

This is not how you treat customers. I am not a child that should be punished for simply using the service. I will pay the bill, then find myself a new provider for both electricity and mobile.

Terrible - avoid – Moved over to AGL with three mobiles as we use them for electricity and they had a good package deal on mobiles for the first 6 months. It's been a nightmare from day 1.

late fee .....

Customer service is a joke - wait time online is hours before you speak to anyone and today the guy 'helping' me on the chat denied he'd said something then told me to 'read again what he wrote' in a rude tone. When I copied and pasted what he'd written and he realised he was wrong I was told to 'just call if I had something 'more involved'. It wasn't hard what I was asking.

I enquired if the amount of my bill was going to be $x and was told 'thereabouts'. I said thereabouts doesn't help with my budgeting.

There is more but I can't be bothered listing it all. Needless to say we will be moving on.

Can’t even get on the plan – I spent an hour in the chat function trying to subscribe to a plan. I have spoken to two different operators (because the chat allegedly timed out) and been asked to provide the same information multiple times. After an hour I abandoned the process. If that is the support that is provided to new customers I’ll take my business elsewhere.

Best Phone Service You Can Get – AGL Mobile is without a doubt the best mobile service you could sign up for. Not only is the network extremely reliable, the coverage and download speed is extremely fast. Moreover, it is by far the BEST priced plan you can sign up for. With the medium plan I have I get 30GB of data with unlimited talk/text and $50 international credit per month.… Read more ·  1

If this is combined with their amazing AGL Internet offer/AGL Electricity/AGL Gas you pay only $30 a month or $35 if you’re not an AGL customer! Not to mention the first THREE months are free meaning in total for the entire year my phone bill is 9 months x $30 = $270 for the entire year. That level plan with a regular provider would easily cost $40 - $50. Great customer service too, VERY highly recommended!

That was 2 or 3 months ago!! I'd transfer to another supplier but, you guessed it, they send a confirmation text to the phone!!! AVOID AGL INTERNET AND PHONE LIKE THE PLAUGE.
