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

12832 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Super-fail! at 17 Jan 2011 01:40:12 PM
I like many, ordered a new Iphone 3 through the Vodafone online store upon it's release in Australia last year. After waiting 3 weeks, over the mentioned, wait period of 4 weeks, for the delivery of this phone I started receiving bills. I spent hours trying to speak to someone at Vodafone, only to waste time and money and get hung up on while the were looking into my file, on at least three occasions. I was eventually told that an iphone was delivered to me. When I expressly stated that it was not, I was told they may have attempted to deliver it to my address and I wasnt at home. Although it was my work address and I didnt leave the office during the delivery hours in case the delivery was made. After waiting over 7 weeks, and wasting time and money on this fruitless excercise i gave up. I have been receiving bills for the mystery Iphone, since it was not delivered. After several weeks Vodafone got back to me to let me know that the bill and amount owing had been removed. Today I receive a bill for an outstanding amount of over $350.00 dollars and a threat that I will be taken to a collection agency to recover the debt of a phone and service I never received. I have a pre-paid mobile. Electing to buy a Iphone trhough Vodafine was the biggest consumer mistake I have ever made. Not only did I not receive the phone, but I now have a debt against my name for a product I never recieved. Why should I sit on the phone to listen to Lara for half a day and attempt to have her recognize my complaint from a lit of options that does not cover Vodafone inneptitude to resolve this issue, not of my causing?
