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

2947 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is HORRIBLE! at 27 Dec 2010 03:03:27 PM
I joined with Vodafone on the 11/11/10. That was the first day i had it, and the first day i had to complain. 5 hours i spent on hold that day to get my phone service hooked up (Vodafone transferring me around in cirles, from one operater to another sales operater, to complaints handeling process, i told the girl on the other line i would like to lodge a complaint, she replied "Would you like me to find out how to do that?"). After 3 days of trying myself since Vodafone did not know why i wasn't getting any signal, my phone finally worked and i got network service. It cost me $83 to call Vodafone to get my phone service hooked up, having to wait 5 hours, buying a new sim, the new sim failing, altogether this particular incident has probably cost me $150. Not to mention my bill this month which i cannot access because no matter how many times i try to register for online services to view my bill i cannot!!! And, yet again, shock horror, cannot get through to customer care. My bill this month will be small though, not being able to make outgoing phone calls, every time i try it beeps and then does not call at all, my phone drops out if a message comes through while i am in a call, it drops out if another call comes through while i am in a call, and it just plain drops out for no reason at all, is a pretty good money saver. Vodafone is by far the worst choice that i have made in a VERY long time and i want out some compensation for the 2 months (so far) of trouble it has bought me.
I have had to go out and buy a pre-paid phone (another $149 to add to the cost already spent on my bad choice of phone provider, Vodafone) to support my business when this service doesn't provide.... well anything!
Now, i will wait the estimated 10 days it will take them to reply to yet another complaint (because of the 'holidays') and hope that they come to some sort of resolution to make up the absolutely appauling service!!!!
