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

2352 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is PATHETIC at 27 Dec 2010 12:38:06 PM
I had the same issues as everyone else. Drop outs and no service. I had one month left of my contract and decided I couldn't wait that month. So expecting to pay out the last $100 of my contract they have now billed me $450!! WTF?
27 Dec 2010 03:23:41 PM: You can break the contract. Tell them you are going to contact the Telecommunications ombudsmen and lodge a complaint for failing to provide the service you signed up for. Also quote them "IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO ENTER INTO A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT IF YOU CAN NOT LIVE UP TO THE SERVICE DESCRIBED"
27 Dec 2010 04:25:38 PM: GOOD LUCK ...when i contacted the telecomunication authority and the law courts the UNIFORM response is LIKE ALDI ...VODAFONE is not an AU identity and therefore NOT under the durestriction of AUS authorities. unless I can obtain detail of an AU address and name responsible THE courts have advised they can not prepare a summons for me to serve
27 Dec 2010 06:31:16 PM: Any company that operates in Australia is bound by Australian law. But in this case Vodafone that operates in Australia IS an Australian company it's called "Vodafone Hutchison Australia" and the CEO's name is Nigel Dews.

28 Dec 2010 05:00:44 AM: Vodafone Hutchison Australia Pty Ltd. ABN 76 096 304 620.

thank you 08:31:16

this is an Australian company... seems like you got an intern to give you legal advise. I suggest you speak with legal aid or wait until this class action against Vodafone begins. and yes, DO NOT ACCEPT VODAFONE CHARGES IF THEY ARE NOT WARRANTED
28 Dec 2010 05:16:56 AM: I was at boxing day test and vfone were promoting the crap out of their product. While I sat there unable to make or receive calls for most of the day. As soon as I walked out of the ground and back into the city a whole heap of texts came through. The irony of being at the vfone ashes!!
