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

12727 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Broadband Account Suspension at 16 Jan 2011 05:58:09 AM
I'm going overseas for 6 months and called Vodafone to suspend my broadband account. I was told in the Vodafone store that the account can be suspended like the mobile. When I called Vodafone I was told that my broadband can't be suspended. Another money grabbing scheme. My plan expires in July and I will definitely not be renewing it. Also, I wish I could understand the guy in the Mumbai call centre as well. Goodbye Vodafone.
16 Jan 2011 06:05:28 AM: if you cant understand Mumbai call center workers your going to have stop using a mobile, all the companies use Mumbai!

Cant believe how stupid some people are here?
16 Jan 2011 06:07:00 AM: Considering that fact such a complaint could only make sense as racism!
16 Jan 2011 06:11:55 AM: I agree, companies should use English speakers for English speaking countries. It's not racism, it's about efficiency and customer service.
16 Jan 2011 06:22:34 AM: given all the examples of the sort of complaints here I would never want to work there and i don't think many would. who would wanna hear this crap, no wonder they hang up on you losers!

Suck It!
16 Jan 2011 06:23:43 AM: there is defiantly a lot of very selfish statements here
16 Jan 2011 06:50:53 AM: Good morning folks, can everyone just take a deep breath in...............hold it................breathe away.........ahhhhhhhhhhhh............that is so much better!!

Be nice to each other please...........vodafail.com.mod
16 Jan 2011 12:41:31 PM: @ 8:22:34 am - Employees of the Vodafone call centre are hired for a reason. If Vodafone lies about their excelling customer service across the media, then they have proven contrarily otherwise. Thus, we realise they cannot resolve issues with prompt and efficiency.
16 Jan 2011 12:45:12 PM: To add to above, @ 8:22:34am, perhaps before you post your ignorant and abhorrent reply, you should join Vodafone yourself and call their call centre. You'll see how ignorant Vodafone is and you'll be the one complaining here about being rejected by Lara, dropping calls, ane the thick, often hard to understand accents of some India employees.

Again I say can everyone just take a deep breath in...............hold it................breathe away.........ahhhhhhhhhhhh............that is so much better!!

Be nice to each other please...........if you cannot be nice, posts will be deleted, thanks ............vodafail.com.mod
17 Jan 2011 10:59:57 AM: Im not racist at all but on occasion i have rung up and had to keep asking them to repeat themself. i dont mind, its just kinda annoying when u are frustrated enough already when ur phone and internet dont work. then to have to keep saying what. plus i feel bad saying what to them all the time. they must get frustrated to.
17 Jan 2011 11:33:37 AM: Lol, vodafail mod 'everyone please take a deep breath and ahhhhhhh so much better'. This post is a funny heated argument and breathing oxygen just adds fuel to the fire. Just kidding. :)
17 Jan 2011 02:03:07 PM: @ 17 Jan 2011 12:59:57 PM

In may respects I am similar to you as well, in that I dislike saying 'Pardon?' or 'Excuse me?' or my favourite 'I didn't quite catch that (good old Lara)'

Somehow I just find it embarrassing to the person on the other end of the phone and similarly the customer service rep must also find it difficult, after all communication is a two way street!!!

@ 17 Jan 2011 01:33:37 PM

Lol as well at your comment and thanks for making it, brightened my day!!!!

Although at times I sometimes wonder if some people are in need of oxygen..........ho hum!!! Vodafail.com mod
17 Jan 2011 07:14:22 PM: i am unemployed at the moment why cant these companies open up their own call centres in Australia....i can get a job and we dont have to argue over this and the moderator can save some oxygen....hold on did someone say Australian companies are too poor to afford a aussie call centre...Oi who said that???
