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

15004 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is very very ordinary at 31 Jan 2011 02:14:50 PM
So I've emailed Vodafone (after giving up on trying to call), and they have offered to pay my $84 bill this month. This is after they refused to let me out of my contract, giving no reason what-so-ever.
Despite the lovely month off, I'm still not overly impressed with the service I'm getting, or the fact that no one seems to be able to tell me when/if it's going to get any better.
Do people think I can still ask to leave my contract, even though they've offered me compensation as such, and have already told me in writing that they are refusing to let me go?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
31 Jan 2011 03:49:18 PM: If they fail to provide the service then they are in breach of there agreement, stop calling them, write your complaint down and send it by regestered post given them 7 days in which to comply and also demand a written explanation from them... if they fail to adhere to your request(s) send them a letter cancelling there contract REMEMBER to regester all sent mail. if Vodafone takes you to court after that sue the Arse of them.
31 Jan 2011 04:00:19 PM: Please don't listen to the above reply. You cannot cancel your contract without Vodafone Permission, otherwise you will be slugged with an early termination fee. Please check out the 'How To Complain' link at the top of the page, follow all of the steps, however you will no doubt end up at the TIO. The TIO will be able to assist you out of your contract.

Best of luck.
