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

I keep getting system alert messages telling me that a "transaction has failed due to insufficient funds". I have never made any transactions on my phone. I have an iphone 3gs and my itunes account is not even linked to a credit card. I rang VodaFail and they said they would de-activate premium services. But does that mean I miss out on features I might want in the future? Why can't they just de-activate the ILLEGAL premium service that has NO AUTHORITY to charge my VODAFONE account in the first place. Maybe they could send the details of the company along to the police so they could do something about it....oh that's right, it's not the job of the police to catch corporate criminals who rip off everyday people...everyday. They would rather be out catching people who have their arm resting on the window whilst they are driving (yes it happened to me).
16 Aug 2011 01:47:39 PM: I've been getting those messages all day yesterday. I was wondering why am I getting these messages.
17 Aug 2011 07:18:26 AM: the error message you are getting is because VODAFONE is blocking those illegal premium services for some reason a company has got a hold of your mobile number and are trying to send you message to charge you for something you do not want. in hindsight they are doing you a favour, yes those messages are annoying but VODAFONE is not allowing them to charge you!
1. continue having your premium services barred and no longer receive that error message.
2. get them unbarred and put up with the error message.
also you should thank the police for pulling you over and telling you to keep your arm inside the window, because if you rolled your car you would lose your arm. (and yes it does happen)
