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

8772 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is VODAFONE IS A JOKE!!!!! at 29 Dec 2010 09:19:58 PM
After only 13 months into a 24month contract, my phone was playing up in a big way (or so I thought) and decided I would do whatever I needed to get a new phone and still happily remain in a contract with Vodafone. A customer of Vodafone for more than 6 years, my call spends are massive so I was hoping my needs would be met. With calls not connecting, calls dropping out, messages/voice not received for a couple of hours or at all, I needed a phone and fast as it was my personal line, landline and work number.
Not only did I make more than 6 calls over the space of 2 months, but in one phonecall, the total wait/talk time was almost 3 hours!!! And, there was not resolve. During almsot half of the conversations, the calls dropped out (again) and I had to go through the pains of waiting in the call queue again!! When the last call was finally made, we came to an agreement, I got a new phone but this was having to pay more than $300 for this only to find out the above issues were NOT because of my phone, but because of the network. Repeatedly I had advised that I was going to move my business across to Telstra if we could not come to an agreement and now more than ever, I wish I had!!!! Not only did I spend HOURS of my time and hundreds of dollars more, the problem was NOT resolved. I could have kept my existing handset AND moved across to a network that would at least provide that!!
ABSOLUTELY P!SSED OFF!!!!
