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

9202 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is EPIC FAIL! at 30 Dec 2010 04:28:23 PM
I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START! I signed up for the service in September 2010, since then the following has occured:
- My iPhone4 has been replaced 3 times, thats right, 3 times!
- I have been to the ombudsman about not being able to receive calls, texts, voicemails and was offered by Vodafone a returned phone, yes, a second-hand handset as a replacement which I declined.
- My phone loses reception for hours on end, when I phoned Vodafone to find out what was happening I was on hold for 57 minutes before hanging up despite their voice recording saying the wait time would be 20 minutes.
- I paid my bill this month by Credit Card which was $85.00, Vodafone debited this TWICE from my credit card.
30 Dec 2010 04:34:43 PM: To be fair, it's not Vodafone's fault that the iPhone is just a crappy phone. It's from Apple, what do you expect?

But it IS Vodafone's fault for the terrible network! So sick of Voda...
30 Dec 2010 04:42:38 PM: Yes, it IS Vodafones fault, they directed my to go to Apple to say its their fault however after 4 phones its couldn't be any more obvious that its the network stopping the calls, texts and voicemails coming through...or the famous line 'You need to go back to the store where you signed up for the service', then they tell you that you have to call customer service!
30 Dec 2010 04:44:37 PM: Never had a problem with my iPhone 4 with Telstra :)
30 Dec 2010 04:49:45 PM: People can send me texts in the same room and they dont come through at all, then at about midnight I get an influx of texts that I have been missing throughout the day.....such a nice wake-up call
