26 Mar 2012 - Update Highest Rated Pain Stories Highest Rated Gain Stories Vodafail Local Facebook Page
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

1922 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is Mind Numbing at 27 Dec 2010 11:05:57 AM
I live to South East Queensland and I seem to at times have good reception the other days it seems to be crap and all of it is inconsistant and frustrating. I can be out for work and trying to use my mobile to call back to work and it drops out as someone answers the phone or the txt messages wont send but after 3-4 tries it finally works.
Not only that I called the customer 'Care' line to order a new phone and went through all of the usual rigmarole to get it. They told me it would be delivered in 2 weeks. When that time passed I still had no phone so I called back and they told me that there was an issue on the system, an error so my order never happened. They couldnt explain what had happened and they dont know why no one bothered to make contact and let me know this had happened. Still they said in 24-48 hrs they would call me and replace the order when it cleared from the system. That never happend either. So for 3 months this same thing went on and on. I would call and they would tell me the same story. In the end I got annoyed and demanded answers. The 'supervisor' told me I could finally go into a store and pick up the phone. But ofcourse my local store had been closed for a refit and the nearest ones were 1.5 hours away and I didnt have a car. I told her that and she said that there is nothing they can do so either wait til the error was fixed or my store reopened. When th store reopened, I went in and told them that Iv been waiting 3 months for a phone and was told to come in, they had not been told any of the information. The store assistant had to spend another hour on the phone to see if I could have my new phone. I changed to vodafone because I was told good things about there recption and service but both have been crap since I joined. 3 months for a phone come on, really!
