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

9090 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is Owned by Indians at 30 Dec 2010 01:13:59 PM
everytime i ring vodafone , i get some fullblown indian that cant even speak the english and they are telling me to speak clear - WTF. Get some proper english speaking employees for gods sake.
30 Dec 2010 01:15:31 PM: I totally agree with you , get some australian people working there , its not hard
30 Dec 2010 01:16:56 PM: Yep, I can only barely make out what they are saying. I constantly have to say "Sorry, what did you say?" and they repeat it over and over until I finally get it.

I speak very clearly, most people I know say that I have excellent dictation, but these indian call centres can't understand me?
30 Dec 2010 01:20:54 PM: I was on the phone with vodaphone once for 3 hours. They could not understand anything i was saying and they always randomly hang up on you!
30 Dec 2010 01:26:08 PM: tell me about it , they make out as if we are the ones who cant speak the english language. Unbelievable
30 Dec 2010 03:28:04 PM: i am full skip anglo background, an was told that i had a heavy accent an needed to speak clearly plz WTF, go munch some curry

31 Dec 2010 07:54:17 AM: As most of the people in this post are unable to use punctuation or grammar correctly, it kind of ruins you point about the customer service operators not being able to understand your "perfect" english. They have a job to do, in some pretty crappy conditions, and all they get is shouted at by people. Remember, just like the store staff, they have no control over the company rules. I work for a telco ( it's not Vodafone ), and the more people shout at us the less we want to help you. Personaly, I don't care if people want to leave, or not pay a bill, but I will help if I am spoken to like a person. Some of you need to get off your high horse and accept that the stores and customer service reps are doing what they can, and it is not their fault. Would you want somebody stomping into your workplace and treating you like a piece of crap because of somethig you have no control over?
