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

20114 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is poor customer service at 27 Nov 2011 04:19:18 PM
Since day one I have have had been a horrible customer experience.
1. Them not changing from plan from a blackberry to an iPhone (when I gave instructions to)
2. despite being given the information upon ordering my new phone they didn't pass on my company name to the courier, therefore phone was not delivered
3. Roaming charges completely ridiculous even when I turned everything off . THey burn't me like that before.
5. Most recently and most frustratingly - I called them on Thursday 17 November to discuss a billing inquiry, and firstly there was a 40 minute wait to speak to someone, secondly when they did they said they couldn't look at my record and told me 'I' needed to call them back. Not good enough, why can't they call me when they know a customer want to speak to them. I asked them to call me back on the Friday at 10am (to date they've still not called.

Today 27th November some 9 days later I called them after no actionable response from their customer service, Facebook or twitter staff. They claim they called me yet um....er no voice mail from them, I only got a text message last week instructing me to call them.

For a communications company they really don't like picking up the phone to call a customer.

My partner was with 3, now been forced to come to vodafail and now even calling each other the reception is worse. It just staggers me how EVERYTHING they do is so wrong and they have no idea about customer loyalty, customer service or picking up the phone to make things right.

Epic Vodafail - I wish I could get out of this contract, its been nightmare since day one. Everything about vodafone does not work and definitely not for the customer. I want out - as soon as possible
28 Nov 2011 06:12:12 AM: With all the problems you've had, you should be able to get out of the contract without paying anything. Just tell Vodafone it's not good enough and if they don't let you out then go straight to the TIO. (details on the how to complain page).
