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

20328 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Dishonestly and unconscionably at 15 Dec 2011 05:06:42 PM
Vodafone admitted ....... eventually that they could not uphold thier end of our contract and would not charge me for 3 months by when they would have network upgrades finished and the service would be fine. Failing that they agreed to allow me to purchase my Samsung Galaxy 2 "at a reduced price". To cut a long and painful story short the "at a reduced price" was $850 !
They are trying to profiteer on thier own inability to provide a reasonable service !
They would be well aware that I have sensitive personal and business information stored on that phone as well as having paid for accessories and apps. Up until this time I had not contacted the TIO but dealt directly with thier resolution team. They also want the charger back with the phone so they can onsell it, I do not want anyone being able to access the drive on this phone and access all the data that cannot be completely wiped from it. I have since made a much lower offer which they refused so I have complained to the TIO and requested them to adjudicate. I think a fair and reasonable solution would be to admit fault in that they could not live up to thier end of the contract and sell me the phone at cost. My advice to anyone else is DO NOT TRUST VODAFONE, GO DIRECTLY TO THE TIO.
