About Us | Belong

Our Story

We were launched by Telstra in 2013 with the goal of offering great-value plans. Kicking off with internet only, we later introduced mobile plans to get even more Australians connected.

We believe that internet and mobile services should be straightforward and shouldn’t cost the earth, so if you never have to think about us again, we’re doing it right.

Many nations before this one

Long before Federation, across more than 65,000 years, hundreds of nations flourished on this continent and the descendants of those nations are part of the oldest continuous culture on the planet.

The First Peoples are the traditional custodians and original owners of this land. They’re an essential link to this country’s past and have a vital role to play in its future.

At Belong we collaborate with traditional owners and First Nations staff to embody the wisdom of the First Peoples and learn from this essential perspective.
