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

14680 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is 100% at 26 Jan 2011 02:07:59 PM
1. whenever I make a call, it often drops out.OFTEN.
2. There is no reception on the Rose Bay hill
3.I signed up to a new Apple iPhoneplan for $59pm for my son who is a uni student with that company in town in December 2010,Communications Direct-problems++--no iPhones available in OZ until Jan.
Big mistake but how was I to know?
4. When the phone arrived, it was faulty--no internet connectability.Big problems to get a new phone with calls to Vodafone, CommDirect etc.New phone arrives, seems new and Ok after 1 week, the speaker phone is not working.
5.Then I go onto my account at the Vodafone website and I see I am signed up for a $69 Business plan.Trying to reverse this.This is FRAUD.
6. I start getting scam text messages on my phone from a +353(Ireland) number--how did they get my number? In the 10 years I have been with Vodafail, I never got 1 scam message-now suddenly 3.
7. When we had the iPhone we held on for over two hours to Vodafail to verify the sim and start the phone.Unacceptable.
8. A few months ago, I had issues with my account and called Vodafail.I was put through to a call centre after a while-"Mohammad" answered.I could not understand a word he was saying.AND there was an almighty babbling and jabbering in the background, so I thought that HE couldnt hear ME so I raised my voice. Big Mistake-I got rudely spoken to.I cut off the call. I called 3 more times--same problem, different persons-Mustafa or Omar.So I asked was I talking to India? No came the reply;"Cairo" Well. Enough said.I refuse to deal with people in Cairo who cannot speak English properly AND who have access to my account AND address details as well as my passwords. How could and can I trust Vodafone to keep my details secure from the Middle East?
Vodafone Fails miserably and I hope they cop it from the ACCC or Dept of Fair Trading etc
