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

To begin, this isn't the first problem I've had with Vodafail, nor is it the first time I've posted on here.. I am currently on the $49 Cap, I first had billing problems a few months ago, in which i was overbilled $50, therefore my bill became $99, I went down to see them at their store and they explain where this extra usage was, I understood this and was happy to pay, and for a few months I had no billing issues, fastforward to my latest bill $120, I logged onto my vodaphone.com and looked at my bill (as the one i'm email has no usage info, just how much I owe, even though last time this happen I requested to have an itemised bill), On the website I was charged for items mid billing session, but not for the start and end of that time... Confused I rang their customer service centre and spoke to probably 6 different people who 'couldn't access my full bill' but i had 'most likely gone over' I explain what the bill said online and they then said they didn't know how to help me as they couldn't see it, and it would be best for me to go in store, then proceeded to hangup on me, mid sentence.. So 20mins later I was on my way to the store, once i got there, I waited another 40mins to be served, although people had just walked in and been seen straight away. I explained my issue to them and they couldn't access my bill, so i logged them onto my vodaphone.com under my name and showed them the issues, the person who helped me in store was relatively helpful and he called the customer centre and was transfer from everywhere to billing to cancellation to upgrades, but still no help. Eventually he called his manager who was 'out on lunch' and the manager told me that I had most likely gone over my cap, again i explain it and he said it was probably a glitch in the system and they would fix it on monday (I went in on a saturday), Wednesday that week i get a text message saying yes i had gone over my cap, and i would have to pay the full amount, but as a sign of goodwill they would credit my bill $60. Therefore I only had to pay an extra charge of $10.. No explanation of what i had gone over.. Am awaiting with bated breath to see what my next bill comes in under, hopefully I won't owe anything thanks to my 'credit'

Another annoyance, last night my partner got their bill, they are also with Vodafail, and under the $49 cap, the bill said it was for $560.. once again we logged onto vodaphone.com to see the bill, but according to that he is still under his cap and hasn't gone over, we rang but once again could get no answers, i am planned on heading down today to try and get this sorted for him and change carriers from vodafail.

what makes me laugh is everytime I call I am given the option to upgrade my phone and renew my contract as it is up on the 1/08.. YEAH RIGHT! hahaha

Hopefully that all made sense...
