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

14650 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is poor at 25 Jan 2011 09:52:19 PM
I have been with vodafone for two months and forced to pay my first bill twice. i have fight for this billing problem for almost one month (from Christmas) and it ruined my holiday. I signed my contract ($69 -10 cap) on Nov. and vodafone charged me $125.69*2. I'm tired of calling or visiting their stores which were totally useless.
Already lodge the complaint to TIO, see how it works.
25 Jan 2011 09:53:31 PM: Report back once you have an outcome to let us know how you got on. Best of luck.
25 Jan 2011 10:08:48 PM: Thx. I do not want to return my handset or pay for that. Just ask for compensation but not sure what vodafone could offer me. I will share my experience when I got the result. hope our voice could be heard.
25 Jan 2011 10:33:47 PM: My best suggestion is to know what you want before their reolutions team contact you...If you say I want X amount of compensation, but you are a bit shy about asking for it and sticking to your guns about it, then they will offer you a lesser amount and you might cave. Know what it is that you want from the outset, and stick to it, don't let them talk you into anything else.

Again, Best of luck.
26 Jan 2011 07:28:15 AM: Maybe if you actually read your contract you would know that when you sign up with vodafone you have to pay for 2 months on your first bill, it's like a good will thing. That bitch Lara even states it when you ring up.

And no I do not work for vodafone, nor I am not a supporter of vodafone. I hate vodafone just as much as everyone else I want them to go down but I hate people who don't actually read their contracts more.
26 Jan 2011 04:43:15 PM: @ 26 Jan 2011 09:28:15 AM Blimey mate, you should learn to chill a bit more........so much hate.
26 Jan 2011 04:44:23 PM: Telstra, vodafone and Optus are all pro rated charges on there first bill
26 Jan 2011 09:41:56 PM: @26 Jan 2011 09:28:15 AM. I understand I need to pay 2 month for my first bill. What I'm going to complain is my first bill was $125.69, I paid it on 22 Dec but vodafone team could not find this payment which is not my fault... And they promised they would not charge me any money but they charged me $125.69 again on 21 Jan. This is too much for $59 cap..
26 Jan 2011 09:47:13 PM: @26 Jan 2011 12:33:47 AM I'm thinking that ask for waiving 3 months mobile phone bill and vodafone should return the money they over charged. Is it too much?
27 Jan 2011 07:10:35 AM: No.....not enough!!!!

Go for 6 months...........you never know your luck!!!
27 Jan 2011 08:42:05 AM: That's probably the overdue amount, cause the payment has not showed up. How did you pay your bill, did you pay it to the correct account, because it's so easy to do as i did that once
27 Jan 2011 09:19:07 PM: @27 Jan 2011 10:42:05 AM: throught vodafone website, just clicked the 'pay now' button. I gave the customer service the account number which the money transferred to.
27 Jan 2011 09:20:36 PM: @27 Jan 2011 09:10:35 AM: I got the TIO reference number today and waited for vodafone to call me.
27 Jan 2011 10:18:10 PM: vodafone has not called me yet but on their website they cancelled my next bill ($58.99) and gave me $66.7 credit, which totally $125.69...Is that a kind of solution?
