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

14335 Someone from Somewhere else thinks vodafone is Expensive, money vacuum fail at 23 Jan 2011 05:11:35 PM
Despite having over $12 of credit on my sim, when I went to send a text Vodafone tells me, "Sorry, you do not have enough credit". I check my balance, it now says I only have 5 cents. -- This happens sometimes, Vodafone takes my money for no reason, then a week or two later sends a "Whoops, so sorry, we 'accidently' overcharged you by 1000x!" notice.
But it goes on, the next day I check my balance it reads: $0.00 -- not content to just take my $11.95+, nope, Vodafone must take the last remaining 5c too!
When I call them (took forever to get through!), instead of refunding me immediately the guy simply says, "You must have purchased something, made a few calls or texts and then perhaps forgot about them."
Uh, okay, I'll humour you, say that is true for the minute... tell me what service Vodafone offers that costs only 5c? Can't have called anyone, that's $1 per minute charged as soon as you connect; Can't have texted anyone, that's 20c; and my phone is really budget and old so it doesn't connect to the net. Seriously, Vodafone, what do you have that I can even spend 5c on? Nothing? Right -- so where did my money go?!

Off to the naughty corner with you.
But they will fight you till you're crazy for $2.
Hi I'm Lara. Before you tell me your problem, I can tell you right now that it's your sim's fault. Please do not me again as I've had enough already and you just go and sign up with Telstra!
