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

16345 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Epic random disconnection! at 18 Mar 2011 09:05:51 PM
My phone was randomly disconnected on a Friday lunchtime. I had to wait until after work to call after which I was told my phone had been disconnected 3mths earlier. This was an initial disconndection they had to do in order to resotre it after my 365 day credit had expired by a month. So after explaining I had the phone for 3 months and just recharged it the other day they realised it was a system fault and said I had to buy a new sim card! I had to registed this one and they said 'within 48 working hours' it would be reconnected to my old number. After which I could call and have the credit I had just recharged with 'compensated' back to me. "Compensated?" you mean, refunded! I asked them why I had to call again and couldn't they put the credit on it now? Of course, why couldn't they think of this themselves? After speaking with several people (Manoj Singh, Glenson & managers Wilson and Furqan Mir) I was told they couldn't budge on the 48 hr rule as the team who connects the numbers doesn't work weekends. Why did they disconnect me on a Friday then?! I have to wait effectively 4 days. And they are the ones that should have identified the fault and done what they needed to fix it. Epic Vodafail.
Did I mention this is the second problem I have had with reconnection??
