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

9205 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Broken network and no information at 30 Dec 2010 04:39:09 PM
I have been a loyal Vodafone customer for over 10 years. During this time, I have been a strong supporter of Vodafone and referred new customers to Vodafone. This stops now...

Over the past 3 or so months the network has slowly degraded and service at times non-existent. This includes no service, service going in & out, battery dying, voicemail messages delayed (days at time), not being able to access internet/3G, not being able to send MMS and numerous failed calls / drop outs.

I have previously tried to contact Vodafone via phone; on hold for hours... Then via email; no reply twice ... So then I contacted the TIO, amazingly, Vodafone then called me back. They said the network was stuffed and could not give me an ETA, but, would give 5 months at 1/2 price or to let me out of the contract.

I would like to stay with Vodafone as the service up until this point was great, so I opted for the former option.

However, Vodafone still knows there are problems and WILL NOT tell us when it will be fixed, they are trying to blame the individual's, rather than the network... This is wrong. I know 8 people on Vodafone, all with the same issues (not reported to Vodafone)

Even as of today (31/12/10) I tried to send a MMS 15 times, with no luck... I had two call drop outs (call failed) and poor reception. Think I live in the sticks or lead box? Nope, the main part of Sydney. What a joke.

I think my loyalty has run its course, mainly because of the contempt from Vodafone CEO and lack of information on any resolution.
