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

14336 Someone from SA thinks vodafone is MEGA EPIC FAIL at 23 Jan 2011 05:15:32 PM
I am currently with vodaphone and up until Vodaphone merged with 3 I never had an issue with them, service was good and I had no problems. In recent months I have had numerous service dropouts and recently I have had my family and friends telling me that calls they make to me are going direct to "this service has been disconnected" not even to voicemail. At the same time my Fiance had issues using her iPad on a Vodaphone prepaid simm in the Adelaide CBD, that's ridiculous, towers everywhere and no signal and I have issues in Kidman park not even 15 mins from the CBD and issues in Woodcroft where I live. A month ago my fiance put in a techincal issue report to Vodaphone and a month later.... NOTHING BACK TO US, so now at this very moment I have been trying to get onto vodaphone to organize a way to keep my number but cancel my contract with no exit fees or crap like that for the hassle the put me thought and what do I get, a guy who has no clue and decided to put me thought to the cancellation which comes up with a message saying, sorry this department is closed and hangs up on me. called back and once more waiting and waiting to make a complain about that and to try once more to organize a way to keep my number on a new network but no fees and I gave up after a half and hour because I have a life outside my phone, but I will keep trying. GOD DAMN ASSHOLES

Good luck
24 Jan 2011 03:02:35 PM: I do want out of my contract but the thing is, I still want my number, need to deal with Vodafail, to get them to hold off the cancelation until I move to Telstra (Only One I can trust now, I moved from Soul to Vodafail), I have been semi lucky at times, but I am constantly having to turn off and on my phone to get reception, drop outs alot but still have semi good use of SMS.
