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

4728 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is It drived me nuts! at 27 Dec 2010 07:02:12 PM
Thanks for letting me the oppurtunities to express my frustations regarding phone standard, customer service and other services of VF. I'm on $ 79 caps for one and half years. I started with BlackBerry Bold 9500 and the phone cap was just a crap. The worst so called touch/smart phone I have ever had! After using few weeks, I could understand I'm just wasting my money. Touch screen was unsensitive, internet browsing was sooo sloooow, media player and camera photo quality were just far below the standard. I bought it from Crazy Johns. The customer service of VF couldn't help me at all. After few months, I couldn't tried to change the phone, and customer service guy replied (after more than half an hour waiting time!) me it would cost me ...$ (the total price of a new phone!) Well, after few more months sufferings, I fortunately lost my phone. Lucky, I had my mobile insurance, I got a iphone 3 with the excess fees of 225 bucks! But call dropping, networks, internet browsing didn't improve that much. So I could realize, the problems are not in phones only, but networks and customer service also. Anyway, it's quite unnecessary to pay for mobile insurance. So I had to cancel the insurance. Recently, I paid all the money including excess fees, but the system said after a week, still it owes me money! I called customer service to know what's going on, otherwise they gonna charge me extra money for late fees! Literary, after 47 minutes of waiting period, I could talk to the customer service guy for few minutes. The worst customer service I have ever had. How much time do you have guys to talk to a customer service in Australia? Simply, I can't afford that time! Call drop out, poor networks, slow browsing and few more things are part and parcel of my phone caps. I'm just waiting to finish my cap period so that I can roll over. Thanks guys for your patience to read my pains.
