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

6124 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is RADIATION. at 28 Dec 2010 08:16:08 AM
Voda is terrible. The reception has gone down the drain. But people also need to think about radiation and how it affects society. Radiation from when you send a message or call someone it tremendous!

If you just put a phone to your ear when you are calling someone, the radiation travels through your body and mainly head which causes brain tumors. What I have done to minimize the radiation travelling through me is I use loudspeaker whenever there is a call coming through.

I thought you could just get a headset and use it whenever a call is coming through. But that is actually worse because the radiation travels through the wire, into your ear (presumably causing a brain tumor).

But now, there is a solution to all of this... there is a type of headset called an 'air-tube'. So you connect this to your phone like any normal headset. But half the wire is electronic and has radiation, but the half coming going into your ear is air along with the sound that travels through the air tube.

That is a good solution, as it has no radiation so you are safe whenever you receive a phone call.

Although, don't leave your phone in your pocket because the radiation travels through it to your body. With some more advanced phones, you can go to settings and profile (Silent, Loud, Normal, Meeting etc.), it then comes up with 'Offline', which means no radiation is going to your phone. But on the downside you can't receive any messages or phone calls.

I think the best thing to do is to turn your phone off as much as possibly, so the radiation doesn't travel through you.

Hope this helps.
