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

19365 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is very at 5 Sep 2011 07:19:04 PM
Just received a text message telling me I have spent $580 on usage not covered by my plan, I call them up to ask why I have no notification of this excess usage (1.2gb)and they tell me they have no obligation to tell me when I exceed my data usage.
Yet clearly they do, when it gets up to $580, not $200, not $300, not $400, not even up to $500, they waited till $580.
They tell me that they can now set alerts that will tell me when I am spending alot on my usage and I ask why this isn't a standard setting that EVERYONE would want, apparently they did use to send messages informing people of their usage, but apparently people complained so they stopped???
Anybody else been in this situation, do I have room for dispute being I never agreed to stop receiving these alerts ?
