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

Today, a customer came in to my store demanding that they have their prepaid MBB refunded as they could not connect to the internet on their laptop with their VF MBB device but that their friend, using the same laptop, could plug in his 3 MBB device and that it would connect. I asked him whether he had spoken to tech support through customer care. He said he hadn't and that he wasn't going to. I had a look myself, although I'm only as proficient as the average technology user. It was saying that 3 software on his laptop was conflicting with his VF software and so his device wouldn't work because it was not set as the default. I advised him to contact tech support and they would walk him through the process of having the software on his computer installed correctly so it would work. He said no because he wanted me to do it. I advised him that stores aren't designed for tech support and that it was nothing that he couldn't do himself. He demanded a refunded on the basis that his friends worked but his didn't. I advised him that it appeared it was because of this that he couldn't use his own. He continued to demand a refund. I asked if he had the receipt. He said no. I was lost for words. **If you are having problems with your service I am happy to do my best to resolve it for you. Understand that we will not do everything for you as you're not children and, with the right tools, are able to do simple things yourself. Please be understanding.**
