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

2643 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is disgusting service and technical support at 27 Dec 2010 01:52:19 PM
Getting ready to travel to Europe and went into the VODAFONE stone in the QVB where I asked for my iPhone 3 to be unlocked so I could use a prepaid European sim card. I was assured it would be cheaper to unlock my sim card to INTERNATIONAL roamer. They used quite clever sales terms like 'only pay $1.50 for the 1st minute, and then standard call charges after that'. What that little PR*&K didn't tell me was that it was INTERNAL STANDARD CALL CHARGES which was RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE.
After I expressed that i didn't want this product, HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING [if any] went out the window as I was quickly dismissed and ushered out of the store with a website . Followed the instructions on vodafone.com.au/unlock with no success. 4 days later (day before my trip), I've been transfer to about 4 different departments and been on the phone for the past 52 minutes [oh yes im keeping track] with no solution in sight.
This is just a recent issue after 2 years of drop outs, delayed voicemail - SMS's and MMS', no service (standing near the VODAFONE CORPORATE OFFICES) rude and outrageous customer service (who tells a customer to shut up? THANKS QVB VODAFONE STORE!)
If anyone could tell me how and what terminology to use to exit my contract i would greatful.

27 Dec 2010 02:02:24 PM: Happened to me last July, Signed up and the phone bill went from the average $ 50.- cap to $ 450.- despite hardly using the mobile overseas. Vodafone was ok. They credited most of the amount in dispute. Actually, the reception and Network coverage was better overseas than what it is here near a Vodafone tower :-)
