Telkomsel is Indonesia’s leading telecommunications company, established on May 26, 1995. It has consistently expanded telecommunications access across the country, boasting over 170 million customers and being recognized as the largest cellular operator in Indonesia. As a digital telco, Telkomsel also offers integrated digital solutions, wireless communications, wallets, financial solutions, and online services.

However, like any major service provider, Telkomsel customers can experience a variety of challenges that impact their experience. Customers may encounter issues such as network problems, billing disputes, or service disruptions.  Some other problems may include:

  • Network Issues: Network congestion, slow internet speeds, and signal outages

To address these, Telkomsel has established a customer service framework for customers to voice their concerns and seek solutions. Here’s a breakdown of the escalation levels and the authorities for appealing against the company.

  • Badan Penyelesaian Sengketa Konsumen (BPSK): This consumer agency provides mediation and arbitration services for unresolved disputes between customers and businesses, including Telkomsel.
  • Ombudsman Republik Indonesia: An independent government body that investigates complaints about public services, which includes the telecommunications sector.

Additionally, the regulatory body for telecom services is the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (BRTI) – KOMINFO, which oversees the sector and handles complaints against Telkomsel.
