Fibre Broadband & Home Broadband

My Intenet connection and digital phone no service since today morning and has made numerous calls, but still no arrangement for Singtel Technician to take a look. And their so-called Appointment Booking department supposed to call back to me also failed to do so. Their support is totally disappointing.

I think it is time to reconsider changing to another telcom company when the contract expire.

Relocation serives 2-3weeks

Is SingTel serious in stating that they take min of 2-3 weeks for relocation services. I am moving house and need 3 weeks to re-activate? Is SingTel going back to 1990'S???This is appalling. Very poor and F*****d up company!!

Singtel Mobile Shop Lot1

The Singtel Mobile shop at Lot1 draw its shutters even before 9pm. Rejecting any customers from entering even though it was still before regular business hours ended. I had to deal with some urgent mobile matters and I could not due to the shop's unreasonable closing time. Kindly look into this matter as this posed alot of inconvenience for customers!

Mio and internet Singtel

I am one of your priority customer. I am having problem with my home mio and net service for the past 5 months. I have to call singtel every one month to complain net not working. The technician will tell me you off this and that but no use. Finally they will send a technician to check three times the one visited changed the mio boxes. Now today i am calling for the 4th time whàt is singtel doing. They need 5 working days to send the men.
This complain is not the first. The officer benjamin who attend to me promised me he will call to give the appointment but he did not call. In the midnight i called siomon he told me the time fixed on monday 13 june . Is there any reason i have to wait. Do the necessary work and settle the matter by friday 10 june .

I want to clarify when are you guys going to change for me the phone again ?
I have been calling and arranging so many times. until now I still having a crack screen harmful weapons phone.
I have been using Singtel for so many years. What types of poor service i have.
Why new phone i still need to buy insurance and i still need to pay extra $198 for exchange ?
I believe Singtel company all sales team should have well trained service and info to all customer.
I was told by one of them from summerset branch sales person to asked me to buy this insurance 1 to 1 exchange.
(Phone lost not included only)
This phone still under 1 year warranty. Why i need to pay again ?
And keep question by Singtel or insurance agent.
I'm deal will Singtel, why i need to face so many company for question or email over 3 months plus!
I feel very sad for this stupid service. And this phone was cutting my finger all around.
You guys better go arrange for me asap. I won't going to pay anymore for this.
Actually i don't feel like saying so much. Its because this service really makes me very uncomfortable !!!

Billing past expiry

Hi everyone! I just want to let you know what singtel is like so be aware before you sign up anything with them. My mobile broadband expires in 7 August 2015 and I called on July to inform the customer care to terminate it when it expires. He didn't and now in Sep still charging me till oct when I have stopped using it since the expiry date. I called again and they said I should have called in August again to terminate. Singtel really piss me off!

Singtel customer service is hopeless

I had a fixed home line. I had received more than 50 calls with each time. The line will go dead each time the phone is picked. I am not sure if they are nuisance calls or there is something wrong with the phone cable lines.

I tried calling their customer service but it proved to be a frustrating call. I wonder why do they have a customer service helpline when their standard reply was " There is nothing we can do"

First the helpline suggested i report to Police. And when i asked what can the Police do, they replied " I am not sure, just report"

Secondly, they asked me to subscribe to "Caller ID" which i have to pay for the monthly subscription. I asked if there is anything wrong with my phone line and the answer is NO. Just subscribe OR report to the Police.

Then finally, they reiterated again that there is nothing Singtel can do. Either continue putting up with the nuisance calls or subscribe (which means paying more to their useless service) to their Caller ID service

Can someone advise pls?

Singtel Poor Customer Care & Resolution

I changed my Mio to Fibre plan on 6 Dec 2014 after receiving recommendations based from Singtel sales promoter at AMK Hub. Installation was done on 29 Dec 2014 with weak wifi coverage & home phone line was not working. The problems were only resolved sometime mid to end Jan 2015, giving my family 2 to 3 weeks of inconvenience. We were surprised to receive additional home line charges on 9 Feb 2015 & called Singtel hotline. We were told it will be waived but again received the next Bill with additional home line charges, so we made another call to Singtel. This time, Singtel staff claimed that we requested to change from digital to analog line but we told them we did not request the change, it was Singtel's action to fix the problem reported during installation & we were not informed of additional charges to be incurred. This followed by setting up additional line to test the digital line, etc. totally wait of time with their so-called Customer Care Officers. I wrote in to complain on 9 May but received their response on 5 Jun. Really disappointed with Singtel's poor coordination & taking so long to respond & still not resolving this issue, every time we made a call, there will be a different customer service staff asking & we have to repeat all over again.

When Singtel tries to sell or convince you to upgrade existing plan, beware of hidden / untold disadvantages. With Mio, all my bedrooms can have the home phone connected. When upgraded to Fibre with digital home line, the bedrooms are not connected. Now Singtel said we need to buy cordless phones to use digital line in the rooms !

My case is currently handled by Singtel Duty Supervisor, Customer Resolution Team (Fixed), Consumer Operations. It's getting no where.

Appreciate advise on how to escalate higher to Singtel organisation or other governing authorities. Many thanks.

overcharge

v019. Fleecing customers with V019 Sservices.
I took a block of 700 mins. Upon crossing 700 mins, Singtel is suppose to charge for next block of 700 mins where as they charges normal per min rate . NO SMS, so Mail, no intimation to consumer.
Normal rate =35X of V019.
On data plan they do all SMS, calling, mailing, why not for v019- coz most of the users overuse and get fleeced by Singtel

Extremely lousy customer service, have been trying to resolve since 60 days .

Poor response

Line was down for more than 24 hours but still not solved, despite promises made by the service staff.
In the first place my line was terminated due to some very bad communication from the service department.
I had called them several times and every time there will be different service personnel that I've spoken and yet issue not solved.
Was really frustrated without the line where I'm expecting an important fax to come in.
I can provide more details if necessary.

wrong billing

All calls to Bangladesh should be under V019 free call. 2 months ago singtel charged me normal rates when I called to US (NYC & Boston) and Bangladesh (Dhaka Mobile)..this is despite the fact that I had signed up for the V019 plan and pay SGD6 every month for this. When I called and asked her why calls to US & Bangladesh is not considered free. Customer service told me, "sir calls to US & Bangladesh are free but calls to NYC, Boston & Dhaka are not because they are different countries". I asked the lady to tell me what the country codes for all these cities and she told me they are 0191 (US) & 01988 (Bangladesh). I told her what to go and check for me which continent these countries are and she came back after 10 minutes and told me "Sir Dhaka is in Africa, Boston is in Europe and I do not know where NYC is". I asked her what planet she was from and she told me, "Singapore Sir". I got so angry and told her can u please connect me to Earth.

Subsequently they corrected that months bill but continued to bill me wrongly..as I use a lot of overseas calls. Then another problem started with my text messages and overseas data roaming. After being billed exhuberant amounts of 1k plus every month, I started checking my bills and there are so many issues. I went back to my text logs to a particular number and realised they billed me doubles texts for every single ones I sent. This is ok since each costs 0.05 but when u consider a bill of 200 plus for only text messages it becomes annoying. You can't possibly go back and count every single month.

I am so frustrated and annoyed..my company refuses to pay for all these because the finance was the one initially to point out the mistakes with V019 and now ask me to check my bill every month. And each bills take 2 months to clear. SIngtel is the premium provider in Singapore?? This is just absurd!

OVERCHARGED

GOT MY SON A SIM CARD WITH A SONY ERICSSON -EXPERIA HP IN JANUARY 2012.
1ST BILLING WAS AS ACCORDING TO HOW IT SHOULD BE BILLED.
2ND BILL CAME THE BOMB.
MY SON WAS USING HIS SIM CARD WITH MY OLD SPARE BASIC PHONE.
THE SONY EXPERIA WAS LEFT WITHOUT A SIM CARD EMPTY FROM JAN TO MARCH 2012.
MY BOMB...RECEIVED A SERVICE CHARGE OF $6.00 DATED 12FEB 2012 AND
MY 2ND BILL OF $375.20...WHEN HE ONLY SMS AND MAKE LOCAL CALLS.
HP IS CHECKED BY ME TO PREVENT INTERNET USAGES AND HE KNOWS THAT I WONT BE ABLE TO PAY UP IF THE BILL CHALKS UP TO A BIG SUM.
( I AM A WORKING SINGLE MUM, N MY CHILDREN KNOWS OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION NOT TO CREATE SUCH BURDEN)

WHEN I CALLED THEM TO CLARIFY THEY JUST INSISTED THAT MY SON WAS USING INTERNET AND CANT EXPLAIN WHY $6.00 WAS CHARGED WHEN PHONE WAS IDLE WITH NO SIM CARD.
SINGTEL DID THE SAME MISTAKE OF OVERCHARGING WHEN I 1ST BOUGHT MY I-PHONE BUT I WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THE MATTER AS I KNOW AND DONT USE SO MUCH OF DATA.
WHAT I AM ANGRY IS HOW CAN THEY KEEP DOING MISTAKES LIKE THIS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE STILL CAN SAY THAT BILLS HAS TO BE PAID IN TIME. i REQUESTED FOR A DETAILED BILL AND THEY SAID WOULD TAKE ABT 3 WORKING DAYS BUT MY BILLS HAS TO BE PAID BY 24 MARCH 2012
(TODAY 13/03/2012) . i WANTED TO TERMINATE SIM CARD AND WAS TOLD THE CHARGE WILL BE ANOTHER $500.
ITS DIFFERENT WHEN PEOPLE JUST SIT N EARN MONEY VS PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO EARN AND MAKE A LIVING...
