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

15218 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is INTERNATIONAL ROAMING at 4 Feb 2011 04:01:14 PM
After a week holiday overseas in thailand I returned to find a $2000 mobile phone bill. This was from browsing the internet on my iphone for about 1 hour / sending 1 email and 2 text messages (NOTE THIS IS ALMOST NO USAGE WHATSOEVER).
Prior to this I received no information stating the GROSSLY EXORBITANT costs involved in using my vodafone/3 service in this country. I fortunately can pay these costs but for many this would bankrupt some people. This is a gross misuse of power - I have been with vodafone/3 for over 5 years and this is the second serious gross violation of my rights as a consumer, the other involved their misadvertised and hopeless internet key. I will be cancelling my contract as soon as possible and NEVER USING ANY OF THEIR SERVICES EVER AGAIN. My friends have had similiar VODAFAILS and plan on leaving also - COMPANIES LIKE VODAPHONE DO NOT DESERVE OUR MONEY/BUSINESS
