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

1. Sign up to new contract with handset. Customer Service (CS) offers an additional $8 per month off handset repayments which doesn't show up in each bill. Spend every month calling CS to explain. They say they will fix it, but next month comes around without discount.
2. Pay mine, and my wife's, account every month over Internt using the online account provided by vodafone. 6 weeks ago (end Nov 2010), both login's fail. Call up CS and get an excuse that online account is temporarly down and should be fixed that evening. Now six weeks later and still unable to access online account and have not been provided with an excuse, nor a timetable. I'm a good customer, pay my bills on time, no problem. Why do I deserve such a service?
I belive its not neccessarly overseas call centre problem. Moreover poor decision making from Vodafone hierarchy? Typically really, when an organisation gets too big.
I'll definitely pay more for better service, just got to wait until it's a bit cheaper to break contract and churn.
