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

13967 Someone from ACT thinks vodafone is Waiting almost 5 hours on Customer Care at 21 Jan 2011 03:39:53 PM
I woke up just before 5am every morning for 3 consecutive days to attempt to contact Customer Services. Here's a pic of me waiting and listening to that stupid John Mayer music at around the 4 hour 40 min mark. I'm fortunate enough to have a friend who works there who simultaneously was able to work out a solution from his end.

Problem? After explaining to in-store staff at Morley Galleria that I wanted to purchase a recharge voucher for a SIM for my car alarm, they quickly sold me the SIM then told me that they weren't able to assist me with the recharge and that I had to contact Customer Care.
This is where the real issue started. Unable to contact them for a few days during the day and waiting on hold for over an hour I decided to try and call when their call centre opens 8am (5am Perth Time).
At around 10am, my friend who works at another Vodafone store contacted me to advise that he was able to sort out the issue from his store.
