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

13875 Someone from ACT thinks vodafone is Not at 21 Jan 2011 01:05:25 PM
If you're using an iPhone then look no further for your problems. Devices that try to do everything usually do none of them well and your voice, dropouts and other varied reception problems are directly attributable to that device.
21 Jan 2011 01:09:22 PM: Why does my iPhone work perfectly on another carrier then? (Exactly the same phone)

This is the kind of response you get from Vodafone staff <haha>
21 Jan 2011 01:15:31 PM: How do you know it's exaclty the same? I don't recall specifying which iPhone it was.
21 Jan 2011 01:34:43 PM: My own phone. I got my iPhone I used on the VF network (dropped calls, reception problems, Internet connection problems, late Voicemails, late SMS's) and used the SAME phone on another network and it worked perfectly...

How can you say it's the phone problem when it works perfectly on another carriers network?
21 Jan 2011 01:39:34 PM: Aren't you talking about ALL iPhones? Or are you saying one particular model only?
21 Jan 2011 01:41:41 PM: HAHA! Typical Vodafone response! It's not us! It's your phone! HAHA
21 Jan 2011 01:42:23 PM: iPhone 4 has well documented reception problems.
21 Jan 2011 01:43:44 PM: Also if you've already moved networks, what you are doing on here crying about it.
21 Jan 2011 01:45:27 PM: Simply disproving your point!
21 Jan 2011 01:47:41 PM: So you also fail as much as Vodafone because the iPhone4 does have issues.
21 Jan 2011 01:49:40 PM: I was having all these issues with an iPhone 3G
21 Jan 2011 01:50:16 PM: So you admit Vodafone are FAIL? <haha>
21 Jan 2011 01:57:07 PM: I don't care about Vodafone, I was merely pointing out that iPhone4's have problems and it doesn't matter which network you are on, if you don't fix the phones problems then you're coverage will be bad.
21 Jan 2011 01:58:07 PM: Note nothing to do with iPhone3G's or Vodafone in previous message. Perhaps if you could stick to topic you wouldn't look so stupid.
21 Jan 2011 07:27:05 PM: iPhone4 works perfectly on Telstra's NextG Network, it doesn't work on vodafails network as they do not have the capacity to cope with it (or just about any other smartphone).
21 Jan 2011 09:43:57 PM: No problems here with the iPhone4 on Telstra full coverage almost everywhere I go and super fast browsing. Get your facts in order before you start bagging a particular brand. A mate who has a nokia 6120 on vodafone has little to no coverage for 3G in the areas I have full on the iPhone.
25 Jan 2011 09:17:59 AM: In the original post it says "Devices that try to do everything usually do none of them well". Does this mean just the iPhone 4? Most smart phones "try to do everything". I don't think the poster knows what they're talking about. Must be a Vodafone employee.
25 Jan 2011 03:21:56 PM: to be fair I have plenty of problems with my iPhone 3G on the telstra network... I have a HTC Desire HD with vodaphone and as of this point I have no issues with service
27 Jan 2011 12:03:57 PM: Now that's a fair point! Appropriate, on-topic and not wild uninformed generalising... Fair point taken.
