Dear visitor,

Since its inception Vodafail.com has made a significant contribution towards raising awareness of the problems and issues faced by Vodafone customers.

Vodafone Australia customers have had the opportunity to voice their concerns, their fears and their troubles from every corner of Australia and beyond our borders. You have gathered the courage to stand up for your rights as consumers and to make your voice heard.

Each and every person who shared their story should have a sense of pride in this achievement and the changes that have occurred since the start of Vodafail.com.

More recently, traffic to Vodafail.com has declined significantly. Having achieved the goal of raising awareness and promoting concrete action in early 2011, we have now reached the point of closing Vodafail to new complaints. The site will remain online for as long as possible as a reminder and an example of what is possible when we share our experiences.

It has been a privilege to run this initiative and I'm am forever grateful for the help and support I've received. In particular I would like to thank Melissa, David and Travis for their continued efforts over the past 15 months. I'm also thankful and humbled by the support of ACCAN, Choice magazine and a wide range of media outlets, blogs and websites.

You can still browse existing stories and find out how to file a complaint if you are experiencing problems.

Until next time,

Adam Brimo

1006 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is NoVoDaFone at 19 Dec 2010 01:25:00 PM
Ironic, isn't it, that 'Vodafone' is an amalgamation of shortened words for 'Voice, Data, Fone'. Because since I joined them, voice services have worked sporadically, data services have NEVER worked to any extent that might be considered useful, and the phone I purchased on a plan with them failed to perform certain vital functions despite being new out of the box. Luckily, Vodafone has it all figured out, I've found: their staff refuse to take complaints in store - you must call the help line (I simply refuse to refer to it as a 'customer service' line). But you can't get through to the help line without spending half your day waiting for someone to answer - that is, if your call isn't dropped! Try emailing them, and you'll receive a non-specific mass-produced response that amounts to 'We know, and we don't care to make any reparations or even sympathise.' So you're stuck. Just remember, and I swear I use this to get me through the day when every call I make cuts out and every text message I send comes back as 'failed to send', Vodafone is running itself into the ground. No customer will return to Vodafone after incidents like this, and a telecommunications company relies on its customer base. Somehow Vodafone finds it in its interest to ignore this fact. Reality: they will be laughing on the other side of their faces when droves of customers leave it, never to return. I'd prefer to pay more with another telco than pay for a service that doesn't work. And that's what I'll tell the hapless agent who calls me asking why I am switching providers when my contract term is up.
