26 Mar 2012 - Update Highest Rated Pain Stories Highest Rated Gain Stories Vodafail Local Facebook Page
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

For the person who wrote the following:

YOU ALL COMPLAIN!
VODAFONE IS CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER AND THATS WHY IM WITH THEM.
IVE HAD PROBLEMS AND I HAD THE BEST OF.
IF YOU FOLLOW THE PROMPTS AND DO WHAT YOUR TOLD WHEN YOU HAVE PROBLEMS IT WOULD ALL GET SORTED INSTEAD THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE TODAY IS YOU WANT THINGS FIXED STRAIGHT AWAY!!!

VODAFONE IS NOT OUT TO GET YOU
(AND THE GUY THAT MADE THIS SITE, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE TODAY)
GO TO TELSTRA AND PAY 3TIMES MORE JUST TO GET A BIT MORE SERVICE.

NO ONE SAYS HOW VODAFONE A SPENDING 500MILLION ON THERE COVERAGE AND THATS WHY THERE A SMALL PROBLEMS NOW ..

Are you serious??
Are you the Vodafone CEO??
Constant Dropouts,terrible recption,slow data download..
If i sign up for a 24 month contract i expect a service that is firstly as advertised, secondly as per the contract i signed..
I did not sign up for a 50 minute wait on the phone when i wish to query a bill,or do i need to call someone 2 or 3 times because of dropouts and recption issues.
AND NO ITS NOT MY PHONE that has the issue because every phone make and model does the same thing with Vodafone.....
If vodafone listened to their customers and worked to resolve there complaints all of us would not be in this position.
Regards,
EXTREMELY UNHAPPY
10 Jan 2011 11:14:43 AM: im with you on that one (the reply)
10 Jan 2011 11:28:35 AM: Yes im Serious and no im not.
So when you signed up you were promised, what?
Super fast data, no drop outs ever? best service ever? and speak to someone on straight away when you call?
all im saying is customers are never happy. nothing is ever good enough and all you do is complain.
Not just with vodafone but any big company, in retail, you all think your so hard done by.
Its stupid, go to telstra and then you will complain its so expensive, take it all away and you would cry,

THERE IS REASON SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN BUT YOU ALL ARE %2 THE REST SAY GOOD THINGS.
"i expect a service" you would be one type of person who makes a purchase in a retail store and stamps there feet if there is a line

Im not the CEO im just not dont expect people to be robots and i bet you never researched why there are problems with the reception before you wrote in?
10 Jan 2011 02:00:56 PM: You sound like one of their staff members on the phone though. "Im not the CEO im just not dont expect..."
In all seriousness the company must be accountable for this mess, it's not good enough and customers have a right to air their grievances.
10 Jan 2011 02:52:50 PM: You have no idea, I moved to telstra after being with vodafone for 10 years. Telstra is fairly competitive these days, not to mention there customer service has improved heaps. Since i moved last month, haven't had any issues. But keep hearing about the issues from my mates still with vodafone. Optus is cheap and you dont see the same issue with them do you?

Big Companies dont do anything unless there decent amount of media attention. Cheers to the guy that made the site.
