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

18203 Someone from SA thinks vodafone is BAD at 31 May 2011 04:28:40 AM
I ported from 3 to Vodafone 9Apr. On 6May I received a message saying I was $85 odd over my limit. I phoned V/f. On 10May I found I was 196 off over and hadnt used the internet since 6 May when I got my excess message. They disconnected me from the internet - I agreed to it! I received my account for the month - $440 odd. How did it get to that. I havent used the internet in any way. Im on the Infinate plan and hardly getting any benefit from it. I only use texting/mms now and the mms sometimes can take up to 6 or 7hrs to get to the other end - Im only sending them to people in Aust. I get roaming a lot, get cut off on my calls (havent used that service for about 2wks now). Continually getting cut off a site and then it keeps reconnecting and reconnecting and reconnecting without getting anywhere. Ive contacted the Ombudsman and am trying to get in contact with the person from V/f, the last time on Mon, asking her to phone me on my landline when I got back from where I was staying. Didnt return my call so going back to Ombudsman. Im fed up with it. NEVER have I been billed so much. They had the gall to tell me on the 6Apr to increase my plan by 1Gb. The last time I called last Thur I think, I was told I had used 3Gb - where/how. How can you do that when you arent connected to the net? I only paid the $49 for the month because Im disputing the amount I am supposed to owe. I dont care what they say, Im NOT paying it. Under the circumstances, I feel they should spread that non existent usage across 2 months. Im fed up with the N8 freezing all the time, so am taking it back and going to demand a new phone. I will not have it sent in for repair. Its frozen about 4 or 5 times since Apr 9!
