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

1437 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is at 22 Dec 2010 07:34:10 PM
went to the vodafone store on Monday to report a fault with my phone, data was extremely slow to download (if at all). this problem was progressively getting worse, since signing up with vodafone 2 months ago. the store attendant told be it was a faulty sim, which he replaced and asured me things would be working fine in ten minutes.

well things weren't fixed, data times out and now incoming calls drop out after 3 seconds.

and now i find on the internet that i'm not the only having problems. with the ceo publicly announcing tech problems, i find the vodafone staff to be deceptive and misleading when addressing my problem.

vodafone is charged me for services that they are not providing. disgraceful
22 Dec 2010 07:49:31 PM: "Deceptive and misleading".... the guys working in retail stores are not telecommunications engineers! Way to kick someone for trying to help you.
22 Dec 2010 08:11:17 PM: The guys in the stores are retail sales people. They are not trained to trouble shoot . You are lucky that they even tried to help .
22 Dec 2010 09:35:27 PM: what you dont realise is that a sim swap is actually all that can really be done from a store level. Retail staff are there as a point of contact for sales purposes aswell as basic issues
23 Dec 2010 05:47:04 AM: The salespeople in the store are knowingly participating in deceptive and misleading conduct. I'm not blaming the for it as they are under orders from Vodafone. But the fact is, that they are helping trap unsuspecting customers.
And before you shout "buyer beware", you have to admit that there are many tech-unsavvy consumers out there. For example, the elderly. They depend on salespeople to tell the truth.
23 Dec 2010 07:17:05 AM: yes its true there are many tech-unsavvy customers they seem to be the ones who can live their lives without their phones and arent the ones complaining or even mentioning reception issues etc
23 Dec 2010 04:03:06 PM: @9:17:05 Nail on the head mate. Just whingy people that want to fling birds at fruit and designing flight paths that can't upload their high scores that are whinging. 'Phone call? That's 10 menus in!'
