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

19988 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is selling dodgy Legends at 14 Nov 2011 03:06:51 PM
I purchased a HTC Legend for my wife last year thinking she would have fun with android, social media etc. Since then she has no end of strife with the phone constantly dropping out. We originally put that down to the vodafone network issues. After the phone was updated with Froyo (android) it became unusable so I asked my wife to drop it in for a repair. The store then asked her to collect the phone a week later. She rushed there thinking the phone was fixed only to be told that it had water damage and therefore any warranty was void. She advised the store asistant that it had never been in contact with water. He said it could have been caused by bathroom condensation or other moisture found in our home.
This has made me feel quite frustrated with vodafone. I have read elsewhere on vodafail that this type of water damage i.e. incurred during normal use is a scam used by vodafone to get out of dealing with faulty handsets. Has anyone else experienced this issue or got comment on vodafone using these tactics? Our next step will be to make a complaint to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman as it is just not right/fair/just that we should be left with a dud handset that hasn't been anywhere near water.

It's not the sales assistants fault that the repair centre has come back with that issue. You can get proof of water damage from the repair centre. Don't take it out on the staff member in store. It's there job to tell you what's happens, but they never diagnosed that your phone has water damage. Have a little respect. Things are frustrating but there is nothing a sales consultant can do in that situation.
15 Nov 2011 08:22:53 AM: Can you read? I was not blaming the sales assistant.
16 Nov 2011 07:19:41 PM: geeze what's with vodafone supporters on this site. Your networks sucks!!! "Selling dodgy Legends" was merely discussing his experience.... he never even complained about the sales assistants.. sounds like the response of a vodafail employee???? maybe you should get of the net and serve some customers, rather than being so defensive about someones legitimate statement
