Sorry, im from NSW, 2529.
I have to wait until June 2012 for an antenna to be installed near my house for coverage. What do i do in the mean time? Keep paying my $55p/m for limited phone usage if at all?
The Australian government should step in and do something. Look after your own people.
Also i have 3 wireless internet. 3 is converting to vodafone. In the past week i have had troubles opening sites and pictures on websites (archidaily) dont load at all.
Im lucky im on the month to month payment and no contract. Optus, here i come!!

Goodbye Vodafone. Has the audacity to charge me for excess usage, I supposedly used 5.5Gb of data on Aug 14, when in reality used about 150Mb in the 2hrs I was on-line, turned device on, went online, checked usage and wrote in diary, switched device off and went to be. COMPLAINT LODGED WITH T.I.O. TODAY ! They even charged me for usage when I was up at Maryborough, staying at Tinana where they have NO SERVICE, and over the 3 days I supposedly chewed up around 3Gb of Vodafone's data, even through the device was in my laptop bag, and turned off, not used due to lack of network coverage, so I used my friends' pre-paid Telstra NextG (and was very impressed with their network speed).

Did the unthinkable yesterday and walked into Telstra store Robina and signed up to their NextG 'ultimate' business plan, $49/mth for 7Gb and the Sierra 753S Aircard.

www.ozspeedtest.com - did a speed comparison (3Mb file speed test)
Test#1: 0630 today : location: Bronte Crt, Robina
VodaFraud: 72Kb/s
Telstra NextG: 304Kb/s
location: Bronte Crt, Robina
Test#2: 0930 today : location: Max Brenner's, Robina Town Centre
VodaFraud: 102kb/s (a little bit better)
Testra NextG: 317kb/s

VODAFONE - YOU SUCK ! goodbye vodafone.
PS: Telstra $49/7Gb is a business plan, you need an ABN - and you get the WiFi device for free
If you don't have an ABN, the stand-alone cost is $59/mth for 7Gb, and you have to pay $299 for the device up-front, but you get a credit of about $250 in your 1st or second bill I'm told, and the device is network locked. Mine is unlocked under the business plan. Just tried it with the VodaFone SIM, works fine, but no improvement in network performance over the Huawei E585 pocket wi-fi. Same readings.
If you have multiple Telstra services, you can get your $59.95/7Gb plan for as little as $39.95

I am new to this network and when I send ACT VL TO 144 they just say you have insufficient balance whereas I have nearly 51 rs. I recharged my no with 98 since 2 days back and when I try to use gprs they just deduct my main Bal and put me in negative. since 3 days I am just exhausted to this network.

hullo sir, i had been using this vodafone for past 4 months,yeah it was working gr8, but right now whatever problem i had been facing ,it really feels like IT SUCKS, i took vodafone connection just because of its great internet speed, which is no doubt is true, but few days before when i shifted to a new place ,my vodafone gprs was still working gr8, but after 3 days i found that it stopped working out there, then i called to customer executives and you won't believe i had spend around 200 to 300 bucks for it,and no body gave me the perfect solution, except giving access point settings and all, and some time this bloody customer care executives used to play with me and used to keep me on hold for a long time and do not used to forward my call to the technical department ,then finally i went to the NOKIA promoter ,he took my phone ,and he inputted all the access point settings and then my vodafone gprs started working, he also told me that my phone is not going to support the vodafone gprs if i'll go to my house,because the place where iam staying doesn't supports the gprs ,yeah calls and messages would come but the gprs won't and actually it was right i faced the same problem because of network problem ,also in vodafone some unusual deductions used to happen through message and funnily the vodafone doesn't have any records for it,also just because of not supporting of gprs iam also in a loss +98 rupees ,so i request to rectify all these features for further development ,.,.else i would not recommend vodafone for use to any one of my friend,

My wife keeps calling me when she's out, and asks me to look stuff up on the internet, because her Vodafone 3G doesn't work.

I own EXACTLY the same phone as her but on a different network (one with lots of coverage... hint hint). I look-up the information she wants, then I text it to her.

Lame.

What is going on with the Vodafone reception, it's possibly the WORSE EVER!!!! my phone drops out all the time and I am in the city, this is ridic! Why should we have to pay for a service that is CRAP!

After this joke of a contract, im going to go to prepaid for the rest of my life.
optus / telstra turbo cap or what ever is on offer at the time and call cards from the newsagents for international calls.
at least you know then, if you dont like the service, reception etc, there is a $0 cancellation fee and you can budget your income every month rather then allowing an extra +$100 for the phone bill.
Also, a 3hr delay for a sms for me to pick up my mother from the train station on Friday, she was forced to go by taxi home :(
Ive received 1 ph call in the past 4 days, usually from 5 a day

i am a recent ex employee of vodafone. without going into details of how terribly unfair i was treated during this process i just wanted to let anyone reading this know that their are ways to work around the system, sometimes it just takes an insiders know how information.
as of about a 2 months ago vodafone introduced a new policy which allows managers and assistant mangers to issue credit onto contracts for disgruntled customers IN STORE, ON THE SPOT. not many people are aware that as of right now you can walk into a vodafone store and state they are not meeting their end of the contract (supplying customers with reliable service) therefore you do not have to meet yours (paying your bill). customers who said this line to my manager in store usually got their last months bill amount credited to their account. in other words the next month was usually free when people said this.

sometimes the manager would say they cant do anything for them blah blah im sure you have all heard it before however im telling you right now they are lying. i have seen it with my own eyes. more often than not customers who were aware that the manager had authority to credit the account got what they wanted. so some tips for you all
1. walk into store and state that service has been terrible - slow speeds and drop outs work best because it cant be proved wrong using coverage checker. the staff member who served you will usually get coverage checker up so say you travel around through multiple post codes. that way they cant blame outages. your word against theres.
2. if your declined keep going back in and make sure you state you are aware the manager can give you a FPR
3. if they still decline you credit try another store. in the end its the managers decision to credit so keep going until you find someone dumb enough to do it ( my manager certainly was. remember be persistent.
4.repeat as many times as you can. continuation of this process can often lead to cancellation fees being waived because head office get sick of crediting people accounts.

boom. goodluck guys. stick it to the pricks.

I have finished my contract with Vodafone (finally, reception is shit and calls kept dropping out), have gone to Virgin, and Vodafone has blocked my phone , supposedly for 4 business days (Why??? God only knows!). It is now day 5 and I still am without a phone. Keep checking my emails to see if they have send me the code to unblock it. I mean, how long can it take to send someone a code?!? In the meantime I have lost all info on mu iPhone, all my photos, all my apps, my calender,no idea if I can restore all this when I get my phone working again.
I've been told I can't even ring anyone to complain, it's just the website, and I have to be patient!!!

It seems no matter when or where in Canberra I make a call, the call quality is horrible. I want out. I haven't contacted Vodafone about this yet. Do you think I will have much luck getting out of my 2yr contract after 6mths for bad reception?

After the usual dropped calls and lack of reception, messed up bills I received a new phone to keep me as a customer however the bad service has just escalated. My sim activation is 'stuck' in the 'system' and so I without any service for 24 hours. They can't get one thing right, any other provider would surely be able to provide a better service.. Don't even get me started on the staff, I was told there is no complaints department but they can 'note' it down.

i have not been on vodafone since cancellation of their sevice in late january and im still getting billed its up to 500 odd dollars now and well they can shove that right where the sun dont shine!!!!!what kind of racket are they running they are basically legal scammers!!!!they suck you in and then you have to keep calling them well im over it!!!!whos paying for MY TIME to get stuffed around by them????at a few stages of calling them i have been on hold for 3 hours them hung up on only to ring back more infuriated!!!!!vodafone you should give up and sell out while your stockprices are still in with a chance i will never recommend anyone to use this absoloutly ridiculious network that isnt worth what it says it is!!!!!

been using their 3g broadband with reasonable success for 2 years, up until 2 days ago when 3g signal disappeared and cannot be found, and EDGE is too slow to be worthwhile even trying...3 calls to vodafone, 3 times being told that i don't get 3g coverage and 1 idiot telling me to buy a new 850mhz modem that i know definitely wont work in regional n.s.w...what is wrong with this picture??? omg i hope i don't have to go back to those losers at optus.....

The worst signal in the history of the internet. I am in the CBD and can't get reception for days on end. They were so kind to tell me that an upograde in the area is due in January 2012-yet still take money first up without warning that they don't actually have a product to sell.

All my SMS are coming through delayed by a day or more.

I am overseas, on roaming -- which I thought would be good as I am not having to rely on the patchy vodafone network in Sydney... where I get one bar and signal dropouts only a couple of kilometres from Paramatta.

It's not the fault of the roaming now, my colleague back in Sydney is getting the delays too...

Let's riot in Vodafone offices ( ... that's a joke, cops)

Well I WAS with Three and they suck. I could never get reception at my place, then it would roam to Vodafail network, then it would drop out when I moved my phone. Fail again.

So I rang up to cancel my contract and low and behold it still in my Dad's name, even though we changed it over to my name several years before that. So I had to wait Three weeks before I could get it in my name so I could disconnect.

The day finally came when I could change over to Telstra Freedom Connect Plan. I do this after an hour on the phone. Then I get a nice email saying that I have been billed $49 for an extra day of usage. This extra day was on the day of the swap, I used a Wopping 8MB of data and no calls or text. I then got a second bill for another $20. So I rang up Three. After half an hour waiting then half an our of talking I was finally able to get $20bill wavered but I still had to pay my $49 for a few hours usage.

I am now away from Vodafail and Three and never regret the decision for a bit. I have a HTC Desire S on the Telstra next G network and I always have reception, full bars in my house. I always like to do small speed tests in places I never got Three reception and low behold I can pull at least 100KB/s every time.

After all Three put me through and the crappy network I swear that myself and my children will never use Three and VodaFail crappy services.

Three sucks in Three ways here:
* Three weeks screwing me around
* Three extra bills for one month
* Three+ years of my own ignorance

I had two phone interviews with prospective employers cut out on me because of the s**t reception I have on my vodafone mobile. Now I can't get back in touch with one of them.... Seriously.... Vodafone need to make it clear to customers that reception in some areas, namely outside of major CBD's is very bad. Do sign up for any of their s**t services. Just one heart break after another with these people!

I left vodafone after being with them since 1994. I had been persisting with ridiculous service, coverage and drop outs until I became ill. I spent 7 days alone in my house unable to travel. I was unable to conduct business via the mobile. Reception has always been poor with drop outs, Ive lived with it making the call backs when I am on the road. Not being able to use the phone for that time was a serious health and business issue for me.

I paid an amount up front to minimise the exit charge on a phone to $300ish. After months of drop outs and years of dealing with Lara I went to Telstra. I assumed that churning the number cancelled the service at vodafone. Thats was the case with my wife. I have a bill for $1297 including $990 for a cancelation fee. They tell me had I called them before churning they done something however it is now too late now. Add my voice to the clamour. Sad really, they were the best customer service company I had ever dealt with 10 years ago. That acolade no goes to AAMI!!!

Signed up to a 24 month contract with VF, assured that my coverage would be perfect. Not the case. 6 months in I was told that I could cancel my contract without any exit fee's. Chose to cancel and now I'm hit with a $650 exit fee. Now I have to go and get this mess resolved. Seriously? Thanks Vodafail.

vodafone wont let me cancel my contract because they "launched an investigation into my poor reception, no internet connection no calls and texts n found that its probabaly my fault and that i will be charged the full fee for exiting early. vodafone is actually the worst service i have ever receievd from any company in my life. in fact im hoping that more people leave vodafone that way i may be the only customer and maybe i will actually get internet and be able to recieve calls. does anybody know how i can get out of my contract without paying the full fee?????? i really really hate vodafone and im not suprised they lost over 370,000 customers in 6 months alone.

Ok i live in Truganina. The network is crap as i never expected. No matter what mobile set i use i do not get proper network in my home and the calls drop.
Secondly i have been sending sms to my friend for the last few days and she do not receive my messages. And guess what even i don't receive sms from her. It used to be fine before but these days i feel like i bought a pain in the ass for me by signing with vodaphone.

Suddenly have very poor reception in my house in lugarno. I thought they were upgrading the network!?.

I signed up sadly 5weeks ago not knowing the joke of a service i would get.
I have reception in 2 rooms of my house and thats just one bar and not clear signal when i talk.
I sms my friend literally 3 houses up from me and they dont get the message for 40minutes,
when i want to call someone, i wait upto 1minute for the call connection before it rings,
i called customer service and i invited them to come to my house and experience what i am getting, they said "we have no technicians in your area" and they would do a reception check on the website......of course the website is made to make them look perfect with great coverage
Their 3G is non existent in my area, and when i get it (while in Sydney), their net is soo slow
I have been late to uni presentations numerous times from not receiving (backup) wake up calls from a mate.
Other friends ask me why is my phone turned off all the time, (it never is)
all this after 5weeks.
ill be crying for the next 23months :(

As usual, very poor network coverage in northern victoria. Complaints many times and wasting at least one hour for each call but no problem. I told them to terminate my contract but they suggested I transfer my account to Three which has better network coverage. But still, I am wasting many hours just to transfer the account to three. Even yesterday afternoon, vodafone customer care can't contact me due to bad network coverage and sent sms instead. Now they have retaining department who always try to persuade frustrated customers not to terminate the contracts. feeling sick with this provider. WTF

Phone calls are dropped, no service half the day, call failed or cant make any, internet works but slow, or doesnt work at all. Vodaphone service is crap, im not calling voda, im calling INDIA. I work in sales/retail, i hear the bull everyday so i know what they try tell me is crap. I pay $80 for crap coverage! not happy

I use Vodafone prepaid broadband and for 2 weeks my connection has constantly dropped out even when my coverage is supposedly excellent, load times are so slow that they time out, some sites such as youtube or facebook will not load at all and some sites load their coverpage but go no further than that! I haven't contacted customer service, but I'm interested to know if it would be worthwhile?

Massively inadequate coverage in 4069 Queensland (Kenmore, Chapel Hill etc....). No 3G (what the... the suburbs are 7 kms from the CBD). You ring Vodafail to complain and they say there is no problem. Hello? You rang me back on my home line because my call dropped out more than once - how is there no problem.

Anyone else with the same problem in the Western Suburbs of Brisbane and what dd you do about it?

After a phone call that lasted 1 1/2 hrs to cancel my account with Vodafone due to no service coverage, I lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman (TIO)to have early termination charges waived. This was followed up with another 1/2 an hr phone call with Vodafone discussing the cancellation of my account and return of my internet modem sticks. I find that almost 2 months later I'm still being billed! So called up and spent another 45 mins on the phone being transferred to several different operators in India and Australia to question why after 3 specific requests to close the account, I'm still being billed! Finally I have someone say they closed the account and waived the charges. The charges were only waived once I threatened to go to the ombudsman again. I will NEVER EVER EVER use Vodafone again. Not only is their product pathetic, their service is HOPELESS! Kids in yr 3 would be more effective at managing their customer service than they are.

Seriously seriously not happy with vodafone at the moment, i have never had a problem with them until yesterday-i have no coverage even though i live in the middle of town and have always had good coverage. I cant receive calls, make calls, send or get texts, access my internet from my phone nothing-i may as well be carrying around a brick for all the good my phone is doing me! does anyone know why this is happening and when it will be fixed? if its not sorted by tomorrow im changing to another carrier-i need my phone for work and this is ridiculous, even my parents came by to check on me yesterday as they couldnt reach me and thought something was wrong!! come on vodafone, get ur butts into gear and give decent service, we dont live in the 16th century anymore!!!!

Poor reception leading to completely lost network with totally no service after changed sim card for 4 times!! Wish to get out of this mess asap!!! Lodge complaint against TIO today.. this is for iphone 4

Still no reception after promises to upgrade. How can the CEO sleep at night ?

Extremely poor coverage over metro Adelaide, let alone country areas. Optus coverage was 200% better then Vodaphone. don't let the Vodaphone sales people tell you the coverage is exactly the same

internet access is totally slow, iPhone 4 shows three or four bars and 3G but websites are simply not loading!
Very annoying, very disappointing, looks like bad service to me. This is on Sydney rail from central to Penrith which surely should be a main coverage area. What is going on. I am paying my bill, why don't I get service????

There is absolutely no change to reception and dropped calls in the ACT. I'd be interested to know the extent of any "upgrades" to the network in this area.

Live in Como in the Sutherland Shire of NSW. Have had poor reception for past few years, but recently moved and now have intermittent coverage at best. I run a business from home and have calls drop out or divert to voicemail on a daily basis. Have been calling Vodafone to complain every month or so. Since the move (May) they have offered half price for three months, then after further complaint free for three months, asking me to please be patient as they are doing major upgrades. However, they still insist that my address has great coverage. Yet they are referring the complaint for "investigation". Was told in June to wait until the end of July and if not resolved then could terminate my contract without fees and return handset (HTC Desire HD). Upon calling them on 4th August was told "we can see you haven't been using your handset. How do you know your coverage hasn't improved? We can't cancel your contract. My answer: The phone is switched on every day and I can see the number of bars has not improved. I don't make any outgoing calls (why would I?) - have a second handset for outgoing on Amaysim (uses Optus network and coverage is quite good). People still call me on my Voda phone and the calls still drop out, go straight to voicemail, or they can't hear me.
Anyway, insisted on speaking with a supervisor. Was told they would call back in 24-48 hours. I said that wasn't good enough. They insisted a supervisor would call back within 24-48 hours. A supervisor did call me back about an hour later. Resolved to hold on for two more weeks (until 18th Aug) and if no improvement can terminate with no exit fees. The matter has again been referred to investigations - as a priority this time! What was it the last few times?
I have reviewed the Vodafone blog about their upgrades. I can see there is a planned upgrade in an adjacent suburb (Jannali) for Q3 2011, but it is not noted under the "sites in testing and planned to come On-Air in next couple of weeks".
I am not confident of any improvement by the 18th. I will not be taking "no" for an answer this time!
I have downloaded several apps to help monitor my coverage. I click on "OpenSignal" app every couple of hours and it generally reports between 23% and 37% signal strength.
Does anyone know of an app that can tell the strength of other networks at a location without having to get another sim?
I will probably go with Amaysim once I am out of Vodafone as I am not keen to enter another contract. For $39.90 a month can get unlimited talk and text +4Gb data. That will do me fine.
PS hubby just got iPhone 4 on Telstra NextG and has not lost a single call yet.
PPS I am not even trying to get web / email on my phone - I just want to be able to make and receive calls.
PPS I must say that my time on hold waiting for Vodafone customer service has not been too bad and the staff, if anything, have been overly helpful and apologetic. They just haven't been able to fix my problem.

Has anyone had problems with the Nokia E5? I have had countless trips and calls to Vodaphone because of handset failures (like hangs and restarts mid call, mid text or internet page). After much grief, and only 3 months into a 24 month contract, I "begged" or a replacement phone when the Vodafone store staff, despite being very nice, coudn't even set up the email to get it to work (after 2 trips to the technicians to be software updated/reloaded -why on a brand new phone?). In the swap the the fantastic (so far) Samsung Nexus, Vodafone now want to charge me an extra $5 a month because the phone is "worth more" (both were on teh $29 cap). Apparently, among the harrassment calls from All Phone telephone sales to renew my contract, they offered me a Combo Deal with the USB of internet access. I have registered my disatisfaciton with the store in question and have now submitted a complaint to the TIO. I have had more use out of my old Nokia phone in the past 3 months because the E5 is always away being fixed or is just too unreliable. Yes, I have service problems too and I work in the CBD, in Newcastle recently, only in range for about an hour but I am hopeful that the promise of fixing their network is true. I can put up with that, but the insult of so much inconvenience then being charged an extra amount for the next 21 months was too much for me. The staff have tried hard including the help desk in Mumbai (who offered a small credit for loss of phone the 2nd time it had to be sent away). They must be so sick of the negativity everyday; I feel sorry for them.

Been trying to get an explanation as to why im paying $80 a month for a service that only works 50% of the time. This has been going on for months now and they still have not resolved the issue. To make matters worse i went overseas for a month and fell behind on my payments, my phone is now barred - i asked them to kindly un bar it as i will make payments weekly and they are sticking to their guns and making me pay the full amount before i can use my phone again. $80 a month for a network that hardly works and now they have the balls to barr my service because i fell behind payments. No comprimisation, What a joke. What can i do ??

They charged an extra 200$ to my phonebill for calling another network for 30 minutes

Been with Throwdafone for about 5 years. Early on they were fine, over the past few years their service has been totally shitful. Absolutely disgraceful.
I reside less than 2kms from the CBD in a capital city and the service is patchy, mostly drops out, I have to go into my backyard to take and make calls.
I have to sit my phone on my kitchen table at an odd angle to receive any net coverage. Pages drop out or are hideously slow.
STILL having problems quite a bit with texts not sending.
As a paying customer as I say this - FIX YOUR PRODUCT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

I got Vodafone Pocket Wifi 2 mobile broadband modem on Aug 8th 2011 and was very disappointed with the download speeds I am getting from it. I used www.speedtest.net to check the speed and the peak speed I am getting is only 0.6 mbps !! Average speed is even lower :-( I am using this device in Parramatta, Sydney and the Vodafone coverage map shows excellent coverage. Following is my observation on the environment
1. Signal strength on the mobile modem shows 5 bars which is the maximum best
2. Network connection shows 'H' meaning HSDPA. I suppose this connection is better than 3G
3. Only one device connected to the mobile broadband
4. Signal strength on my laptop is again 5 bars which is the maximum best

Vodafone website says that the speeds will range from 300 kbps to 3 Mbps but will vary according to the signal strength in the house. I am getting the best signal possible but the peak download speed is just 600 kbps which actually is terribly bad. I was expecting a speed atleast 1.5 Mbps

This is very unfair and not according to the promises made by Vodafone. I will be returning back my set to Vodafone and switch back providers

My email to vodafone:
Dear Vodafone,

your coverage is the worst out of any network I have ever used.

How you can call what you provide as a 'service' is beyond me. The past 3 weeks experience has been worse than normal, costing me time, urgent communication and money. Your total lack of consistency is beyond a joke.

After having an initial issue with my previous number I stupidly have kept using your prepaid while my issue is pending.

As soon as I can resolve everything with your business I will be changing service provider immediately.

I will be doing the same for the fleet I currently have set up in our office.

You guys are a joke!

My reply to Vodafone:
Dear Vodafone,

I do not have a pin on my prepaid service.

How about you do your job and provide a proper service instead of wasting more of my time.

The amount of money and time you have already cost me, due to such abhorrent coverage and service, is a disgrace. Not to mention the amount of money wasted on connection fees from having to call back numbers up to 5 times, mid conversation.

I am still waiting to hear from the Vodafone Ombudsman in regard to my existing plan, which you charged me over $2000 for, for uses that are physically not possible with your coverage. This issue has been ongoing for close to 5 months, and you still continue to charge me for a service I no longer use, that you cut connection to 3 months ago.

No less than 5 of my family and friends have had exactly the same problem with being overcharged for phone usage and also had to wait months until you resolved the problem, during which time you emailed them to tell them that it was a one off situation. Fortunately for me I no longer receive the highly upsetting calls from Vodafone on a daily basis telling me that I need to pay you or you will cut me off, as you have disconnected my plan, but never attempted to resolve the questioned excessive charges from your end.

After countless failed attempts to resolve the issue with you, and after being cut off from your overseas customer call centre, and hung up on by many staff who did not understand my complaint, I am still waiting for you to resolve my initial issue. I assume at some point someone will get back to me, but based on your coverage, I would have to guess that you are finding it difficult to get in contact with me.

Vodafone reply:

still pending.

Vodafail employees must not be using Vodafail network themselves because if they were they wouldn't act so ignorant and misleading about the issues and causes.

i use to work for vodafone, while i worked for them not a single problem. i lost my job for advising a customer not to sign up with vodafone because they had no coverage were they are i advised them it may be better to sign up with telstra or someone with a bigger network.

Ever since my phone bills are always $300 but im on a $45 infinite plan and use crap all internet. now my ohone gets disconnected every month because they f*&% me around continuously. i do not understand why they do it do they honestly get people to sign up just to piss them of?

also while i worked there my partner of 5 years passed away they gave me two days off. i asked for more and i was turned down. i managed to get two weeks holidays so when i went on my holiday i et a phone call asking were i was? they explained they gave my holidays to somene who needed them more. i sued and got no were because their lawyers are so use to spinning crap they won

My iPhone 4 was stolen last weekend, upon realising that my phone had been stolen I immediately phoned 1555 Customer Care, however every time I selected the 'lost of stolen phone' option the call cut out. I attempted to call for about 3 hours, then waited until the store opened the next day. I then went into the store, was 'greeted' by incompetent and rude staff who needed me to spell out what my issue was and what I wanted them to do. Finally they gave me a SIM swap but were also unable to get through on 1555 to block the IMEI, I left the store and continued to call the 1555 number, finally 20 hours later I got through and was informed my iPhone IMEI would be blocked within 48 hours, 7 days later and according to both ATMA and Vodafone my IMEI remains unblocked. I have phoned Vodafone numerous times and they are confirmed that they had not blocked it and had no idea why they couldn't do it. They continue to say they will escalate the issue and that they will phone me back, and yet they have not rectified the issue, nor has anyone who has said they will call me back done so. In the meantime for insurance reasons I asked VF to email me a copy of my contract, they said this would arrive in my inbox within 24 hours... 6 days later and nothing. This is one of many concerns I have with Vodafone, I have had 6 months of poor dataspeed and no reception despite working in the city and living 2 ks from the city... I am so over VF and I WILL get out of my contract.

I am in a $90 a month contract with vodafone and have experienced little to no reception since my signup to vodafone, i have reported the issue three times and each time they assign the call to a technician to investigate the issue and then im told there is nothing wrong.

In the mean time im still paying $90 a month for call dropouts, intermittent data issues even though 3G is available and nothing is being done about it.

I am seriously over the service and customer service offered by vodafone overall.

Disgruntled Vodafone Customer

I live on Oxford St, Taylor Square in the buzzing, vibrant centre of the city of Sydney and I have little to no signal both for phone calls and on the 3g network at most times. It pains me to pay $70/month to Vodafone for a service I do not receive. Perhaps if I lived out in the deep, desolate outback it might be a little bit more understandable. I sent them an email telling them that I get no signal and how it pains me and I received NO response at all! Are they actually a telecommunication service or do they simply sell phone contracts with no actual service provision?

I was overseas (In the USA) in late June and July and a week before I left, I went into a vodafail shop to get them to check that it was on international roaming and it would all be fine overseas. They assured me it was after checking my account and fixing it all up. I am a prepaid customer, and because I was going for a month I purchased $49 flexi credit hoping it would last the trip (note this has a 30 day expiry)

I get over to South Korea (stopover) and I noticed it didn't pick up signal to any network but because I was only there one day I didn't worry, thinking it would be okay once I reached New York.

New York - Day 1 no sms from Voda saying I'd joined an american network.
I tried manually selecting networks, it didn't work.

New York - Day 2 still no connection so I used hotel phone with a prepaid card to call up the vodafail overseas customer care number.

I get put on hold for ages, and I get transferred to different people each time having to explain to each person what was going on - no one saved details on file or told the next person. I explained that I was not able to receive/make INCOMING or OUTGOING calls and yet each different person would say to me "It's okay we'll give you a call back on your mobile once it's sorted" I had to practically yell at some of the customer service reps what I had said quite a few times "I CAN NOT RECEIVE CALLS"
Unfortunately the call cut out (I'm not sure if it was on their end or my end...) and I had to recall and start the process all over again.

The second call, I got trasnferred to SEVEN different reps. Finally through to the IT department (mind you I had to explain the situation again and again to all SEVEN reps grr!)
IT Department checked my account and notified me that it should be working and that my settings were all correct. Therefore not their problem. I explained that I had been in to the shop and they'd fixed it but my HTC Legend wasn't working and no they couldn't call me back cause my phone DID NOT RECIEVE INCOMING CALLS!
They put me on hold (about 20 times throughout my two hour conversation with the IT department) and said that they could try some trouble shooting with me over the phone.

They requested that I manually try selecting the network (which I did - even though I had tried this myself about 100 times since I'd arrived in NYC) that didn't work. Next they got me to dial all these codes (don't remember what they were called tho.. ) that didn't work. Then they told me the only option was to factory reset my phone and hope that worked. Because I was overseas, I didn't have my cables to back up my phone (this is a brand new phone too!) and so I'd loose all my photos which I'd just taken, all my numbers etc.

I did do what they suggested and factory restarted my phone. It didn't work either. I was starting to get quite annoyed by this stage - I really needed a phone while OS and didn't want to keep using the hotel phoen because it would charge me evry time I used a call card as well.

After TWO HOURS on the phone - the call dropped out and I lost them again.
I tried calling back, but couldn't get to the IT department and they told me to call back later (apparantly something happened in Mumbai and half the office was gone).

When I tried manually selecting network a couple of days later- it said "UNABLE TO SELECT NETWORK SIM/NETWORK ERROR CONTACT YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER"

I couldn't waste another two hours on the phone so I had to leave it till I returned to Australia.

When I got back on the first day back - I went in to a Vodafail shop and they told me that because I was prepaid they couldn't help me out and If I wanted to have my phone looked at it would take 4 weeks and they don't supply back up / replacement phones for prepaid customers.
I called the call centre once again and they said they didn't understand why my phone still wasn't working (even in Australia!) and that I must have damaged the phone.

My credit expired - even though I hadn't used it. I have since been forced to buy a new phone
(am now with Optus and have a brilliant iPhone 4) but I was so angry that I spent all that time and worry about a phone and money on credit when I hadn't used any of it and it expired.

Well I've got a iPhone 3GS. Brought it out from the shop now the network coverage has gone. I swear vodafone has the most shittest coverage. And iv'e call up and still the same thing. I swear I'm so frustrated with this company. I wish Optus will buy use out. That's just because use are just a shit company. Your deals suck. I hope use go broke.

My Vodafail story:

I moved over to Vodafail in may last year, and went with a HTC Magic. My fiance was already with them, so I came over to get the free V2V calls. At the time, we lived in Sunnybank and the only place we could get reception was by going out to the street or standing on a chair in the walk in robe. Wasnt too bad as most of my time I worked in the Valley and had reception there. Anyway, after using my phone for a few months it was having issues with dropped calls, random restarts, and sometimes just completely losing the VF network. I had the distinct pleasure of calling the call centre and was advised to take my phone into the repair centre at Milton. As I was told it would only take an hour to re-flash the software, I took it in at lunchtime and came back after eating lunch.

First fail (not including dodgy handset and crap coverage): The tech working on the phone buggered up the mainboard, so we have ordered parts from Sydney so you will need to wait for a week for the parts to arrive.

Second fail: Call them after a week without the phone to find out if it is ready to pick up. Sorry, the part was not available in our warehouse, so we have ordered it from the manufacturer. It will take about 3-4 weeks to arrive.

I am pretty pissed off now, but what can you do. One would have thought that you would keep stock levels up of current phone hardware, but that would be sensible.

Third fail: Four weeks later, I still havent heard anything so I give the call centre a call to find out what my options are for getting a replacement. Unfortunately I have no option for replacement as I am on a 24 month contract, so I can buy out the remaining 21 months to pay off the handset and move to another provider at some prohibitive rate, or I can buy another handset outright and just use the sim. Not excited about either of those options, I gave the repair centre a call.

Fourth fail: Sorry, didnt someone call you to tell you your phone was ready last friday (this being the Thursday of the following week). Uhh, no...

Pick up the phone, use it for a few more months and still have exactly the same issues.

Fifth fail: Back to the repair centre, somewhat more nervously wondering how long I will be without a phone for, and advised that it will only take an hour. After another lunch at Milton, back to the repair centre and deja vu time. Exactly the same thing has happened - main board broken, no parts in the warehouse, and a month before I get my phone back.

I am normally very patient, but that was it for me. The repair centre advised that the only way I could get a replacement phone was to go through customer care, so I left and called customer care later that day. I was then told that the repair centre are the only ones who can authorise a replacement phone, but as it was now after 5 on a friday I couldnt do anything until monday.

One useful bit of information I did find out was that if you have two repairs performed on the one device, then VF are obliged to swap your handset with another to the same value or less.

I went into a retail store, and to the storepersons credit, he was very helpful in talking with the customer care people over the phone and organising a swap to a new handset, a HTC Desire.

Sixth fail: As part of the swap, they needed the old phone back. Luckily the store guy gave me the Desire so I had a phone over the weekend, but then I had to go to Milton to pick up the crap phone and take it back to the Mt Gravatt store. Got to the Mt Gravatt store and the guy I spoke to wasnt there, so they were going to give me another phone, but eventually got it sorted.

The new handset is much more reliable, but VF coverage and data speed is still woeful. We moved to Bellbird Park and now have one bar if we are lucky. My fiance is now 37 weeks pregnant, so I am just hoping that I am home when bubby decides to make his arrival because she probably wont be able to call me and who knows how quickly a SMS would go through. She was working at Griffith Uni Nathan Campus where there was also a distinct lack of coverage, so we just used email to talk rather than attempt a phone conversation.

Her contract is up in the next few months, so we will be moving away from VF. Most likely it will be to Telstra because they at least have better coverage and excellent data speeds in comparison.

Intertnet never loads on my iPhone 4. Takes foreever to load even with full reception bar

Like everyone else here I also get such bad reception that the wifi I bought is pretty much unusable. I certainly would not be able to watch a youtube clip with it. I also have a vodafone dongle which is almost as slow. Something which ought to take a couple of minutes online takes at least twenty. Pages do not load, website unavailable etc. The girl at the vodafone store told me that she had the same wifi and her reception was crap, too. Of course, nobody at the store told me this the day I bought it, only the next day when I went back. Basically, I bought something that does not work. I am a prepaid customer so do not have the contract problems many people here have. When my credit expires, that's it. So far, considering the problems I've had, my 14 GB data has lasted me seven months, though I imagine I would have used that credit by now and happily paid for more had it worked. I do not use the internet the way I would like to. It's too slow to check emails unless I have a reason to look, facebook is slow and youtube is not a realistic option for me through vodoafone. Any business genuinely interested in keeping its customers should not have its complaints dealt with in another country. Invariably they do not understand my problems, know about the offers etc. Plus, I feel it is inappropriate to complain about poor internet coverage to someone who probably lives in poverty and does not really have anything to do with vodafone beyond reading a script and pointless troubleshooting which cannot improve their coverage. So I will not complain again, as I believe Vodafone in Australia probably do not even receive my questions anyhow. I will merely switch to another internet provider that actually works.

my huasband complain about you of the network whenever am chating with online and he as to change it due tothe network so try to do something to dat

Im sitting in CBD sydney, new Android phone.. no reception

I get home (newtown) and now only have 1 bar reception.

I hate them, India sux

I've only been a vodafone customer for a week (when I was upgrading on 3 I was told that there won't be 3 soon so I might as well change now). I can't believe how bad vodafone is!! It shocks me that in this day and age that a network can be this bad. No matter where I am, my network drops out every 5-10 seconds. It's ridiculous! And every single call drops out. And I can never use email on my phone, it cant ever connect. I would have never believed things could be this bad. And calling overseas call centers for help is a joke!! They never have the answers - I'm getting out as soon as I can.

No reception - on a good day 1 little bar. Dropped calls.
Delayed SMS Messages and worst of all Very poor customer service from people that don't even know that Canberra is the capital of Australia! I am leaving Voda-no-phone and going to another provider this weekend.

Used to be with ThreeMobile for many years ... then after many network issues was transferred to Vodacrud, which they insisted was a 'far superior network'. Instantly noticed that Vodarubbish was far worse than Three.

While in Melbourne CBD I did have good signal .. BUT .. this didn't mean that I had good service. The internet data was soooooooooooooo slow. Webpages constantly timeout, cant access email etc. Their data backhauls must have been very congested -- what contention ratio are you running voda??

Call quality was like talking to a robot, providing that you could actually make a successful call. Another annoying thing was that I would get missed calls, even though it never rang. Tested this many times calling between 2 phones. Can't get a spare line eh?

If your looking for a new provider, take advice from everyone here ... don't be fooled by their pricing/marketing ... there is a reason why their network is so congested, and they will attempt to lock you in for 24months so that you get plenty of time fully experience the pain.

I'm glad to see that I was not the only one with phone issues. The tech support were always so confident that the service was working fine, and that 'my phone needed servicing'. What on earth needs to be serviced? Oil change, top up the fluids, check the spark plugs??!! These things are not serviceable, and any firmware/settings can be done from itunes or pushed from the network.

How on earth can they run a company like this? Why don't the industry regulators step in and put a STOP to all this? I think 24month contracts are a bad idea, and reflect a companies lack of confidence in their product (by locking you in). If you have a good product, your customers will stay! Alternatively, if your product is a Vodafail, then they will leave one way or another.

Since exiting the contract (big thanks Mr TIO), I have been on pre-paid with another provider. I only pay for what I use, if i need more then I recharge, else the money stays in my pocket. Best of all, no excess charges, no contract, can leave anytime!

i cannot receive any messages or phone calls at my own home, and they tricked me into a new contract.

i was told i could continue my contract on my phone from my 3 plan, with the new galaxy s but because i was continuing the contract i had to pay a bit extra off the phone which was fine because i knew my contract would end THIS july. However to my suprise i find out i was put on a new contract and i have to stay on this phone for ANOTHER HELLISH YEAR! i cant even talk to my friends! and what if my car breaks down, i dont get alot of reception where i live let alone the many black spots. I am so angry its not funny. If i wind up stranded because of them they are getting a serving.

network

Working in and around Picton an hour south of Sydney my calls always drop out. Numerous times a day my phone says i have two or three bars only to say i have no network coverage when i try to ring work. Most times i have to use pay phones to talk to the office, unless i drive to the top of a few hills that i know i can get one bar if i'm desperate.

Waiting to make a call to a friend to tell her that i am here and waiting for her but for some unknown reason there's no reception, and this was in the CBD!! Waited like 5 minutes b4 i could actually make a call or send her a text!!
Ridiculous!! And dont get me started on their data reception. Just to check in to place via the fb app is a task in its self. if only i had a penny for the amount of times "No cellular data available" has come up on my screen!!
3G is supposed to make data faster yet when i turn it off its usually better! Dam Vodafone, ur services are deplorable.

Called customer service yesterday.
Lady from the call centre tells me "you have excellent coverage in your area..." 30 seconds later my call drops out. amazing..
She called me back to say dropping out after 18 minutes is a very good result - does anyone know if having drop outs is standard on other networks too?

Have struggled with Vodafone's poor network for over two years now. Probably a bit of a sucker to have signed up with another 24month contract. The optimist in me wanting to believe they could be bothered to fix their network in a regional part of Australia.

Funny thing is, around 6 months ago, the coverage got worse! Signal is less than what it used to be, making 3G useless.

Recently (last couple of months) found that the Internet has gone from dog slow to no access at all (or slower than dial up for every 10th page-load attempt).

Rang Vodafone and got told it will cost me over $800 to terminate my contract for a service they apparently think they are providing. Apparently the network issues are to do with my handset and/or sim card... even though I can duplicate the conditions on two different handsets and friends of mine are having a similar experience.

Now postponed while there is an "investigation" launched into my problems. A process which apparently takes "a month or so". The support person could not provide details as to exactly what this investigation entails, but my cynical side tells me a large part of it probably consists of doing absolutely nothing until they can come up with another reason to keep me tagging along and paying that monthly fee for a service they are not providing.

Awesome way to keep customers and improve good will.

Constant dropped calls. No reception. Late delivery of text messages. No Internet or very slow.

i got iphone 4g , but there is no coverage of the three in the office , so its like i have to use the phone only for wifi connectivty , no phone calls until I turn off the 3g on the iphone - that is really shit as data trasfer will be really slow - i complained about this in 1 year so many times , they come up with resolution to move me from three to vodafone. I said both of you are same ... tell me the difference .. there was no difference ... the only difference is you have to keep paying money to different name of the company - event for the same company.

Major Incompentence on the part of Network Architects & Admins...
What is going on there..??

I have to flood ping a gateway or DNS server for like 20 secs to wake up a "sleeping switch port" (oversubscribed) to get some level of throughput...

The oversubscription model is not designed with the underlying infrastructure capabilities in mind...

I suspect the underlying debt ratio (financial business model) is heavily reliant on an unrealistic oversubscription model to generate the required revenue streams capable of servicing the underlying debt facility...

What has been experienced to date is typical of short-term improvements (a reduced oversubscription model) in performance which coincidently disappear once media has changed it's focus from Vodafone (VF) and the VF propaganda machine has blurted out how committed it is to customers and network improvements while re-establishing the previous oversubscription ratios because the underlying debt facility requires it...

The root cause is not in the technology, it's in the financial business model that supports VF...

Nearly all business use debt facilities to provide operating cashflows, but, a carrier like Telstra has invested nearly $4 billion in it's 3G network, but they have chosen to offer less value for money to end-users but provide superior network coverage and performance using an oversubscription rate that is aligned to the underlying capabilities of the network platform architecture...

Fix the root cause of the problem and you would win a base of loyal customers committed to a business that is committed to providing performance and value...

Definitely no improvements since the media firestorm of some months ago....

VODAFAIL 100%...

Vodafone has loss of up to 300,000 customers !!!!!

The following is part of the news from The Australian newspaper --

"VODAFONE Hutchison Australia is today expected to reveal an exodus of mobile customers from its network, with analysts tipping the departure of up to 300,000 in the six months to June 30".

Full report can be found at --

My congratulations to the person who started this website. It goes to show the "power of one" and the effect that one person can have when you get the information out.

Vodafone are standard ya'll are trippin, service is aite 3g better then the optus network, i was with voda complained to the TIO got out of my contract fairly easy which is less then i can say at telstra or optus, basically just took advantage of the bad press that all you suckas are doing, with Virgin now using the optus network... its shit, doesnt have the constant drop outs that voda had a while back but will get distorted calls every say 5 calls, occasionally will drop out, 3g is farkin aweful and i live in metro sydney.

used to work at Optus then moved to voda... swear optus had a site like this a few years back, also got a million customer calling complaining about the network.... its just sh*t in australia atm sorry only decent is telstra and they cost an arm and leg.. voda have the best deals hands down.. IMO

and LOL at the sukas dissin voda then switching the 3.... how dumb are some people...

sheep doin what they do best.. follow the crowds!

respect to dude that made this site, i hate all corporations...

tho i did hear he got bought out not sure if thats true or not.

Poor quality service, minimal reception even though they swear there are no issues in my area, continual invoice issues with my 2 VF bills. You ring up and complain - so to ease the pain they offer a reduced (better)plan - then charge you for a plan change - then deduct $1500 from your account for cancellation of contract. WTF Vodafail BIG TIME!!!! I WANT OUT!

I have a telstra sim in my ipad and it doesnt go below 3 bars - vodafone No Sevice

Vodafone are charging me for 1300 calls - on a $45 'infinite' plan, plus calls to retrieve my own voicemails, and to 3 customer care. On top of this, my 1gb of mobile broadband is 3 times slower - when I even get reception - than dial up internet. I had to download onto my phone because the internet on the computer was not working at all - then I get a txt saying I owe them $497 in excess usage charges !!!! I spend an hour or so on the phone every week trying to get help from them - being constantly told to go online to see the fine print of my phone contract, then I will understand all the charges - but I can't get into my account due to the online internet being completely unreliable !!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH. Was with 3 for over 12 years prior to this - without one problem. I want out of this contract.

It's happening again.
Calls and txts not getting through. Phone 'disappears' off network after a while and you have no idea it's happened until you try to make a call and get network busy. Then re boot phone and find messages and calls have not been getting through.

Vodafone pretty poor through out year - keep telling me it's my fault - told them I'm a tech and trapped them on sooo many issues - which seemed to frustrate them immensely - last two months _pityful - the more I phoned in the bigger it got until today when I finally relented and gave an address really close to me [ coz I dont trust them in India anymore] - then it totally failed - supervisor offers new modem/sim free / then says no its the network but refused to answer me if it was all of wa or my area - then said my area poss out coz getting many many calls from my area with bad coverage - seemed Dodgy to me - suspect blocking of sim [ from data received from me today to ?enable? service request to fix - MaB by next friday] Don't believe because I trapped them by using diff modem just up the road. [and mine? - No Network] - and used at my house = other modem OK 3G - mine No Network.mine previous switching between HSDPA/EDGE/3G all the time - but never downloads on 3G - switches to HSDPA immediately - Constant dropouts _ disconnections for hours - voda sez its to fix /upgrade - then seems shaped to between 87 - 400 kbps MaB 800kbps if lucky afta -- pages loading worse than dialup - constant exit/reconnect or reinstall - but only lasts for a short while Have wasted more than 5Hrs on them today 31.7.2011 - Bad Bad Voda - sooo much more to tell - Grrr!!!

I signed up in Feb of this year with IPHONE 4 on that $49 unlimited deal. I had the phone for a couple of months before I started cracking the shits due to poor coverage I called up and spent hours on hold to finally speak to someone. They ran test and everything and couple of weeks later I had to call back because they said they would call me but they didn't. So when I called them they offerred me everything 3 months for free, Discounts on my bills. I said to VODAFONE that, That was a nice thing but there is no point with the poor coverage. In the end they said they would send out a recovery bag for My Iphone 4 to send it back and they would cancel the contract free of charge. It has now been 6 months and I have not received my recovery bag and I have rang up a couple of times to get it.
Yet still have not received it every time I have tried to call in the last month or two I spend ages on hold and then get disconnected but now when I ring I get DUE TO HIGH NUMBER OF CALLS WE CANNOT TAKE YOUR CALL AT THE MOMENT! What is that crap about?
They have sent me a disconnection bill of over $1000 and I cannot get a hold of this pathetic company! I think I will take this up with the TIO!

Life and work in Brisbane City, no coverage, no confirmation from VF as to why, "there is a technical issue, we dont know when it will be fixed, we are sorry..."

THats what we can expect after waiting for 25 minutes, then they call you back within 17 minutes, only to give you this rubbish.

How much more do they need to do before the Federal Government launches an enquiry into the abuse and mockery of the Trade Practices Act this company is actively participating in. We have endured 19 months of what has been the WORST performing contract I have EVER signed and I sing many on a daily basis. Deep breath....only 152 days to go until contract expires. I receive sms messages offering phones and other contracts from them, I would rather a couple of cans and piece of string than this service they offer.

The Federal Government should hang their heads in shame.

On Friday night my wife and I had an emergency when her iPhone was stolen. When I went to use my iPhone on the Vodaphone network the phone dropped out multiple times and accessing the internet wasn't even possible. This happened at 9:30 at Broadway in Sydney.

I have had enough! Text messages are being received up to 2hours after being sent and i have not been able to send a text or make a call over a 24 hour period. Now over the last week i am getting texts from my colleges and friends saying they can't call me. I have tried getting my friend to call my phone while we were sitting opposite, first time was disconnected, second time got through, and third and fourth time were also disconnected. Now just last night i was chatting to my friend and our call was dropped out god knpws how many times. Now i realise after reading others have the same issues that it is not my handset, IT IS the vodafone network that is letting me down, plus because of this i have possibly missed business calls regarding future work prospects that i have been anticipating over the last month.Icant even connect to the internet.For what i pay to have a full service thi s is just not acceptable.

I am experiencing problems with data rate most of the time my handset don't pick up the 3G signal and when it does the speed is too slow I have tried using the new 850MHZ network but that is same

Currently we have had no data available on the Gold Coast Southport area since 6.30 AM. When you call Vodafone they say that they have internal technical issues and cannot take your call, you then get transferred then they hang up on you. Have called over 14 times this morning. Then try sending an email to network feedback. Its a complete waste of time.

Vodafone has such limited coverage. Once out of Perth you are dead. Hills area so patchy it's unusable.

The coverage on Forrest Highway to Bunbury, on the hole is unusable for most of it.

Calls going straight to Voice Mail for weeks now all over WA

Prepaid balance not being returned.

Incoming calls can't be understood as all choppy

Call dropping out during conversation

What a joke this network is!!

I got charged for excess data usage where i have only been accessing the usual websites like previous months. I stayed well below the data limit over the past 2 years. Couple of days in this billing cycle I was charged with massive data usage. I called the customer service and all the response they can give is "it's your fault. You deal with it". This is the last nail in the coffin for me as I put up with the network for the past few months where I can not even get coverage in the Melbourne CBD and have to walk like a mad man holding up the phone. Very good example of how not to treat your customers.

Reception using a Pocket Wifi at Bargara 4670 is always slow, rarely do we get 3G coverage and device usually operates on H. At busy telecomms times of the day reception often is too slow to be operative, ie slow download of 20KB/s reduces to 1 - 5 KB/s and becomes in-operable.

Since they announced an upgrade of the system many weeks ago the in-operability has become much worse. Have had this device for 3 months, the last two months of which have been BAD ! ! Tech support stated download speed ought to be around 400 KB/s.........400 !!!! After testing their equipment I was told I am in a poor reception area, to which I asked why it seemed to be resonable during the first month's use of the device and why it does work to a satisfactory level of 50 - 100 KB/s early morning time ?

We also have a Vodafail mobile which also has reception problems in our house as does a Telstra mobile and Telsta USB broadband stick. ADSL is not avalable here, so wireless broadband is our only option. We are trapped in a Telecommuncation TIME WARP and fed a constant stream of CRAP from Vodafail & Telstra the infrastructure supplier.

Will keep on complaining and seek a reduction in monthy fees, it's not worth $60 a month when we can't even use Skype VOIP to make calls.

Zero coverage today and not the first time. Usually average at best despite the coverage checker on the Vodafone website showing our street to have excellent reception.

I've resorted to handing out my email instead of my mobile number and telling people not to bother calling me because chances are, I won't have reception.

My daughter's iPhone on a $29 cap plan clocked up $5 "roaming" internet charges last month. Roaming is being displayed even at home in the heart of the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The idea of paying for roaming due to Vodafone network dropouts in such an area is a bit rich! Roaming is fair enough in remote areas but not in metro areas that should have full service!

Dropped Calls, Delayed Voicemail, Poor Reception & Slow Data Rates are just the start!

April 2011 - spoke to Vodaphone about problems with coverage & was given 3 x 50% discounts on phone bill

27th July, 2011 (Spoke to Moshan)
*** receive a call from the networking engineer, saying there is no problem, with dropped calls after looking into the problem, i asked about the slow data rate & THE PHONE CALL DROPPED (PHONE HAD 3 BARS & 3G AREA)

- Called back straight away (Spoke to Niltesa) no notes saying anyone had called me, still looking into problem, if the called dropped they'll call in the next 1-2 hours. Requested to speak to a supervisor, they were busy &would call me back within 1 hr.

- Supervisor never called.

28th July, 2011 (spoke to Vishan)
- I called them & recapped problem with ref number and passed into Tech Team

(spoke to Shetal)
- recapped problem again & quoted ref number & would pass me onto the Tech Support Team

(spoke to Geyshea)
- Recapped problem, quoted ref number again, apologise on not getting call back.
- Asked why my phone call dropped out while having 3 bars & 3G , suggested it was the other persons line, i then mentioned i was talking to Vodaphones Tech Engineers who had contacted me stating that there was no problem with their coverage.
- She said need to check some things will call you back.

Receive call from Geyshea (15mins alter) - Changed investigation form investigation to a complaint & would receive
50% discount on next 3 phone bills, Updates in area are being done, so should see results soon.


RESULT - discounted bills for 3 months - coverage problems, dropped calls, slow data rates remain.

WAS IT WORTH IT? - not really, i have better things to do with my time. But wanted to let people aware of this - complain enough & eventually you'll be given a discount because they are aware that their coverage is not good.

I have been with vodafone for around 10years and i have had enough! Text messages are being received up to 2hours after being sent and i have not been able to send a text or make a call over a 36 hour period. Now over the last week i am getting texts from my colleges and friends saying they can't call me. I have tried getting my friend to call my phone while we were sitting opposite, first time was disconnected, second time got through, and third and fourth time were also disconnected. Now just last night i was chatting to my friend and our call was dropped out 4 TIMES!! Now i realise after reading others have the same issues that it is not my handset, IT IS the vodafone network that is letting me down, plus because of this i have possibly missed business calls regarding future work prospects that i have been anticipating over the last month.
The many promises of upgrading the network and improving the service is a load of crap, it has gotten worse over the last year and i don't intend to be a sucker anymore and hand over my hard earned money to such a bad mobile service. ADIOS VODAFONE! U have now lost a loyal customer.

due to upgrading local network, when people call me they may get a message telling them "THIS NUMBER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED." Or they go straight to voicemail. This will last for 3 months!!! It's intermittent and there is nothing vodaphone can do about, they are not even willing to look into this issue for me. They offered 25% discount, without me asking as they know the upgrade is creating issues. But there is nothing on their website stating there may be issues. Area is (North Perth). Whats the point of having a phone when I can have no idea that someone has tried and failed to reach me. What if the call is urgent??? I don't understand why an upgrade needs to affect the current service to this degree. Not happy at all.

Vodaf***- a class apart in how amazingly poor their network and service is. In the heart of Sydney(CBD area), I don't have network coverage. Brilliant stuff! Can manage to barely use the internet on my phone. But somehow when the bills come, data usage shown is in excess of 300 MB. How is this possible? Their "tech support" team gives me bulls**t spiel on automatic updates on apps. Then there is this ridiculous joke of a service called 1512.Apparently there is a lag of 48 hours in updating usage. Why have the service at all in the first place? I check my usage before I go overseas, and when I come back to Sydney and check my usage again, 70 MB on my data plan has been mysteriously used up. When I call Vodaf*** to clarify, they ask me to wait until the bill arrives to have a "better idea" of the charges and then call them again (yeah sure. I have nothing better to do than spend precious time on these calls).I'm on a 29 dollar cap and barely use my phone, however my bills for the last two months are in the range of 150-180 dollars.Vodaf*** tells me there is "nothing wrong with their billing system". I'm running out of patience.

I called up Vodafone saying that I get reception issues and frequent drop outs when I am driving or at a shopping center.
They say that THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE SERVICE WHEN I AM MOVING ON MOTORWAYS AND BUSES AND TRAINS..... On top of it they say that my iPhone 3Gs is a problem and I should use a Nokia. I asked if the iPhone was a problem and I had to buy a Nokia then why did they sell an iPhone and they said that we just sell what the customers ask for... They are so god damn stupid ... What do I do...

Call drops,flakey reception, intermittent 3g. Problem looked to be sorted earlier in the year.
Its started again.... arggghh

no coverage at home and no planned upgrades
