26 Mar 2012 - Update Highest Rated Pain Stories Highest Rated Gain Stories Vodafail Local Facebook Page
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

I would like to express some concerns. Why are people labelling this site as highly biased? It's plainly obvious that it is a site for unheard or distressed customers to complain and vent their anger here rather than at Vodafone staff. Words here have some minor profanity, but it is only what usual angry people have to say. Place yourself in their shoes, wouldn't you be just as angry with swearing involved? If this site makes customers feel better, then obviously, by using the how to complain section, they can get their problem resolved with less anger and more respect, since their anger was already posted here as a complaint. That's how I see it. However, direct or indirect racism is not Australian, so that is not right. Do not be racist here or anywhere else. Why? Because we are all humans and are a single species that have a majority of DNA exactly the same as each other. Being racist is like saying dislikes to physical limitations of evolution. We are different in ethnic backgrounds, which helps us distinguish each others' uniqueness. If people all had the same body , the same customs, and the same identity, many people would have trouble recognising each other and people would complain again. So appreciate our differences as multicultural Australians. Implying a comment about verbal accents or communication issues, which would otherwise be taken as racist, should be alright under the condition that it has a reason and explanation as to how it made your issue hard to resolve. If people want to really express how magnificent, excelling, fantastic, and marvellous Vodafone is, then go to their website forums or give them a call telling them how much you love them. They would really need that support right now. Perhaps you could create a Vodafine or Vodafantasy fan site to show your biased support for Vodafone, to make them happier in these dark times. Hopefully, people don't immediately complain about this useful post.
18 Jan 2011 12:07:19 PM: I would also like to add that Vodafone's official site is obviously biased to how great they are, for sales and assurance reasons. So just get information from Vodafone.com.au and Vodafail.com. Combine what you have gathered and you will end up with a satisfactory balanced explanation to the angel and devil of Vodafone Australia. There two sides to this issue, not one. We can't have Vodafone being seen as an angel all throughout their culminating network issues. It is up to you to decide what is the truth and what is the lie.
18 Jan 2011 01:58:27 PM: I really like your idea of a website called "Vodafantasy.com". We could all go there for a lovein celebration of all the warm huggy touchy feely things about Vodafone we have all come to love and admire. In Vodafantasy land our mobiles would work 100% of the time and LARA will have retired to Mumbai.
