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

Share Your Pain


Vodafail.com is no longer accepting complaints.
Over the past 6 months traffic to Vodafail has declined significantly. Therefore we have closed off Vodafail to new complaints. We think you will find more joy in posting on any one of these fine product / brand review sites.

You can also post directly on the Vodafone community forums.

6859 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Shocking!! at 28 Dec 2010 04:56:59 PM
I was sent picture messages on the 25 December and again on 26 December. I did not receive these messages until 5am on 28 December.

I called Vodafone about a week ago to reset my 'online' account, I waited an hour, the couldn't resolve my problem and asked if they could call me back, I instead requested a text msg to confirm the problem was resolved. I was asked if they could help me with anything else, I said yes, I wanted to know how much it would cost to cancel my account. I was then transferred to another 'department' and YES, I was on hold again, so I gave up and hung up!

I have also had periods of now network coverage in the Sydney CBD which resulted in my calls going directly to Voicemail.

So over it!

6858 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is pathetic at 28 Dec 2010 04:56:46 PM
I have been on here reading so many ppls stories and the pain they have gone through.
Personally I feel it was a massive mistake for Vodafone to agree to this merger of 3 and Voda. clearly they didnt and still dont have this capacity in place nor there is no structure for there company which has resulted in very upset and angry customers.
I speak as I am a previous employee of VF before the merger and let me tell you, after the merger went through not only customers were being affected as there was no transperency to there existing customers but staff had suffered through this all.

All staff went through a re apply stage and well most ppl were made redundant and when they had to go back in for there feedback sessions alot of ppl were given no reasons as to why they didnt make the cut.

Excuses were made such as "Unfortunatley you have too much happening in your personal life" or that we wish you best of luck!! Really? F#$K OFF!!

I for one am very glad this site has come up as not only on the inside and back end was crap but once and for all all customers and the Australian people can see how this merger clearly should not have happened.

I have many friends on the network along with myself and the amount of drop outs or call failed I get in my house is ridiculous.

Vodafone take back your stores and get rid of 3 you let them enter a merger with a $350 Million debt over there heads.... What were you thinking???

It saddens me to say this but after being a customer for over 12 years with Vodafone I am going to Telstra as this coverage and BS that has been going on for close to 2yrs is absolutely that BullShit!!!

6856 Someone from ACT thinks vodafone is Terrible charges at 28 Dec 2010 04:56:33 PM
I received a bill on 11 Nov,2010,which states that I should pay $90.64 for the wireless internet from 10-Nov to 09 Dec. I paid that bill. Because Vodafone is terrible in its service, I decided to cancelled it on 9 Dec,2010. A few days later, another bill arrived and charge me again. I went to its service station but nobody could explain to me why I have to pay again.The latest bill will be due soon! Shall I pay or not pay?

No coverage, phone calls drop out time after time after time! sometimes I can be on the phone for 20 minutes in the same area and then it just drops out! So frustrating I threw my phone out the window the other day. Complained to Vodafone, they tried to tell me it was the phone, I said how do you explain 3 phones doing the same thing!! We will be giving them the flick for sure!!

I have reception at home in E Maitland but no-one has uninterupted coverage in the city's only large shopping centre. It does have a Vodaphone shop though. Also four mile creek is one k from the shop and everyone loses connection on the New England Highway there. I have reported these problems several times in the least few years.

I live at Glebe; 5 minutes from Broadway Shopping Centre. I do not get any reception at my unit which is hard to believe in Sydney City area.

I have complained many times but apart from long waits on customer service nothing has been done.

Even I asked to cancel my contract which they have denied.

I am so lost paying the monthly bill for no service.

i was signed up to a service, on a phone that i was told "was a great user friendly phone"
the battery failed, so i ended up with a 2nd phone. tried to go to stores to get help on certain features, only to be told - we're not trained to use that..try the call centre..
then my pain really started.
tried the call centre several times, only to be stuck in a loop.
trie dthe next morning, put my number in, and was disocnnected 4 times....
tried again, FINALLY spoke to someone, who hung up on me, cos they couldnt help me...oh yea...that was after 30 min waiting for someone..
made a complaint about the lack of service...no real response apart from...that shouldnt happen...asked the complaint man to send me in the direction of help - ie can someone call me or a direct number....try the call centre, no one can call you!
thanks for your help! awesome customer service!!

After being told the coverage was good in my area I signed up - you literally have to balance the phone on its side in one area of the house for it to work, if it rains it wont work at all, for busy times like 7pm forget it, had to sign up for a landline as its soooo unreliable. I work in the city and have the same problem there, can only us it in one area of the office.

Vodaphone customer relations is so poor they have to go to india to employ customer care representatives...who put you on hold for hours!!!! I cannot wait until my contract runs out!
28 Dec 2010 05:07:57 PM: In actual fact, Vodafone DOES have a Tasmanian call centre. If you know who to ask for you can definitely speak to an Australian representative. For the record, the Indian employees do an excellent job for individuals who have 230 am starts in order to deal with customer complaints and racism.

I have your vodafone problems with Telstra. Vodafone is perfect for me, Telstra and Optass is the pitts for me. Vodafone: no dropouts, anywhere. Telstra and Optus: dropouts even at home, I have to move around to get any form of signal, then freeze until I make or receive calls or txt's. You lot think Vodafone is bad, come to my place with your Telstra crap! then complain about your provider. No telco can give perfect service everywhere, if they could there would be no competition.

6825 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is The worst! at 28 Dec 2010 04:53:07 PM
I only have 1 bar of reception at home and absolutley no internet access on my phone. Everytime I make a call, It drops out. I call again and it drops out again. It's an endless cycle.

Sometimes when others try to call me, they can't get through as it says my phone is switched off or not in coverage - but it's not switched off and I am in coverage.

I have expressed my outrage with vodafone's horrible customer service. After waiting more than 45 minutes on hold, I was put throught to a person who clearly didnt know how to do his job.

I demanded he change my $99 plan to the $65 plan at NO charge - he did so after I threatened to contact the Ombudsman.

Vodafone, I have told everyone I know about your poor coverage/reception and disgusting customer service. If I do not see a result quiet soon, then I will disconnect my service!

My phone has apparently been calling my friends at 3am on random days. In my phone and online, no logs of such calls were recorded. I called Vodafone,and according to them, my phone acted like an 'exchange point', whereby people's calls were redirected to my phone, and from my phone to my friends. I mean, What. The. F**k. How does that even happen!? :S
The $50 credit I got means nothing when my friends lose sleep. >.>
My internet rarely work now either, and when it does, it's worse than dialup.

Im with 3 mobile and prior to the merge between voda and 3 I had pretty good service as I roamed to telstra, and only telstra when i had no coverage with 3.

since the merge, the network automatically set my phone to prefer vodafone in areas with no 3 coverage. I have constant dropped calls etc, my only option is to force my phone to roam onto telstra permanently. Just to make decent calls.

Texts and voicemails delayed for days and even over a week! Have called Vodafone customer service over 20 times since feb 2010 and still being told my investigation is on fast track.... Very frustrating! Phone shows full bars of coverage but does not receive messages through til I make a call, like it seems to open the line or something. Vodafone first said I may be able to have my contract recinded but then said no. They even tried to tell me' the prob was with my sim card. Went tovodafone store to have it replaced and they firstly didn't want to know until I made some noise. Seems u get nowhere with these idiots so I'm in too.

I moved back to Tassie to work in a hospital - I was berated when I didn't answer my phone for a call in to an emergency. Funnily enough, the phone never rang - and the voicemail arrived over a week later. I moved to Telstra so that I could actually USE my phone - and Vodafone still hit me with a $600 exit fee, despite their admission that their coverage was "poor" in my area.

Can NEVER get any sort of mobile internet working on my iPhone. Type in a web address and sit back and watch the lack of connectivity. Nothing happens.
My girlfriend's phone on the other hand, is perfect - she's on Three. It's the same network. What the hell is going on?

I'm leaving and going to Telstra.

This is not new. A year ago when I signed my 2 year contract I got pretty good reception in my local area of the central coast of NSW. Now calls dont even get to my phone and neither do the voicemails. They arrive hours later. Too late to call back and business lost.

Live rural and children travel one hour for school and have 15 min of coverage ( this is 15 minutes out of Penrith). Receive messages hours or days later and voicemail when phone has not rang and no missed call message. BAD coverage and long lock in contracts.

I've been with 3 for ages, had no trouble, no problems, but since Vodafone took over have had constant drop outs, am receiving messages hours after they sent, if at all, and on Xmas my daughter (with them too)had reception and I didn't sitting right next to each other! I have had my phone reset, etc,etc, my daughter even got a new phone...not happy!

6780 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is Merger at 28 Dec 2010 04:43:41 PM
I have been on here reading so many ppls stories and the pain they have gone through.
Personally I feel it was a massive mistake for Vodafone to agree to this merger of 3 and Voda. clearly they didnt and still dont have this capacity in place nor there is no structure for there company which has resulted in very upset and angry customers.
I speak as I am a previous employee of VF before the merger and let me tell you, after the merger went through not only customers were being affected as there was no transperency to there existing customers but staff had suffered through this all.

All staff went through a re apply stage and well most ppl were made redundant and when they had to go back in for there feedback sessions alot of ppl were given no reasons as to why they didnt make the cut.

Excuses were made such as "Unfortunatley you have too much happening in your personal life" or that we wish you best of luck!! Really? F#$K OFF!!

I for one am very glad this site has come up as not only on the inside and back end was crap but once and for all all customers and the Australian people can see how this merger clearly should not have happened.

I have many friends on the network along with myself and the amount of drop outs or call failed I get in my house is ridiculous.

Vodafone take back your stores and get rid of 3 you let them enter a merger with a $350 Million debt over there heads.... What were you thinking???

It saddens me to say this but after being a customer for over 12 years with Vodafone I am going to Telstra as this coverage and BS that has been going on for close to 2yrs is absolutely that BullShit!!!

I live in one of NSW suburbs and often I receive voice mail on my mail box while my phone is on and available when I listen to the message I find out that the phone never rang and that is why the call goes to voice mail, I have changed my hand set a few time and got a latest one but still having same problem, according to the Vodafone 3G reception is quiet week in this part of NSW and that is the reason some of my calls directly go to voice mail without even ringing.
My reception bars always low and some tomes there is no signal at all.

6775 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is Double ZeroFail at 28 Dec 2010 04:38:04 PM
I live on Phillip Island 5kms from the centre of town and 5 kms from the world renowned Grand Prix track. Can only get reception inside if the wind is blowing in the right direction. Turn on 3G ... nothing. The veranda is the best place but never full bars - rug up for those cold winter nights.
Previously lived in Morwell in the Latrobe Valley. Depending on what end of the house I was in I got two different cell transponders - nice, no problems.
Only reason staying with them is the reasonable deal for pre-paid.
All in all, if there was real competition I would change but after three years I guess I'm used to standing outside to use a basic technology.

6771 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Ultimate at 28 Dec 2010 04:34:53 PM
I live in the small town of Casino on the Northern Rivers of NSW. Inside my home i recieve no vodafone mobile service/coverage except on the widowsill of the front door of which i only recieve 2 bars of coverage. As soon as i walk out of this room or away from the widowsill my service drops out. This is very frustrating as i recieve alot of calls for work for the job that i do. In the recent past i have missed out on critical work and income due to this lack of coverage. I hope the issue is resolved asap otherwise i will be switching to another service provdier when my contract is up.

6769 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is beyond help at 28 Dec 2010 04:34:37 PM
I had issues in that I had no data/phone reception in the CBD - NEXT door to a telephone exchange with every freaking tower for every network on it, and nothing at all at my house unless I stood on my letterbox and waved my phone in the air. (I'm not joking). For 3 months of emailing and calling, I'd get email responses to my questions i"d been ASKED to email saying "you spoke to a customer service person about this. Status: Closed". They'd told me to email! I was advised to change my SIM 4 times. I did it 3 times to humour them, the 4th i saw red. I had sat on the phone twice for 1 hour each time that morning and got a robotic Indian person who told me to swap the SIM over and when I lost the plot and asked to speak to a supervisor, was transferred to the automatic SIM replacement line. So I had to start again.

I had had enough by this stage - 86 phone calls and emails is too many. I wrote to the TIO. Within 5 days a VF guy rang me back. I was polite to him and he released me from my contract with no penalty and credited me a whopping $8. (Yes, $8!)

I am now with Telstra and am loving every minute of it. I feel like washing my mouth out with soap saying that, but I can now SMS, make phonecalls AND surf the web absolutely anywhere, whereas my workmates sit in our office with no VF signal for often 2 hours at a time. I can't help smiling really.

This is the poorest level of service and worst value for my money... Ever. I am paying for a smart phone which is rendered completely useless by the lack of reception and paying for heaps of calls and data which I can't even use. Only a couple of months into a nightmare of a 24 month contract......get me outta here! I was hoping that I would never have to go back to Telstra, but vodash&t clearly aren't capable of providing a goddam thing. Why don't they spend less money on sponsoring every televised sporting event and more money on fixing their service issues???

6765 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is bloody useless at 28 Dec 2010 04:28:31 PM
The sales lady constantly called my wife asking her to change provider. My wife relented and asked how Vodaphone can help us, well she stated that they are a lot cheaper than our current provider ( Telstra ) she showed us how much we could save and yes the quote was far far cheaper than what were paying. My wife asked about the coverage as word was that the coverage was poor. The sales rep stated that Vodaphone have installed several new towers and the reception had improved vastly. So we changed to Vodaphone, what a joke, constant drop outs, poor reception and bad service. My wife tried to call her since and to this date is yet to get in touch with her nor has the sales rep returned any calls, where is the so called service?? Both of our business's have suffered due to this and we are both extremely pissed off.

6764 Someone from SA thinks vodafone is SUPER FAIL at 28 Dec 2010 04:24:21 PM
Since renewing my contract with Vodafone and getting a new smart phone earlier this year, the service level has gone done and down and down. I live in Brisbane in a inner city suburb and if I am in my house my calls will drop out over 50% of the time, data and internet is so slow i will often need go do some shopping/mow the lawn etc just to pass the time while waiting for a page to download!

I come down to the NSW South Coast each Christmas to see my family, and this year I have been here over a week and my phone calls are staticy and extremely low quality ALL OF THE TIME. Around half of all calls will drop out before I am finished on the call. The Data and internet access is COMPLETELY NON EXISTANT HERE, i have been trying to get service to work for about 6 days now and all my phone can say to me is tell me that the origin server is bad. The origin server is not bad, its NON EXISTANT, there is no service, period!! I am absolutely disgusted with my new plan and want out, but I will not be bothering to call Vodafone again as I dont have time to wait on hold for hours only to be told by someone in another country that it is basically MY problem not theirs!

I have a cap plan. Why is it not possible to receive an accurate account balance? Every month it is a guess how much money is left to use! If I would have a pre-paid SIM, than it would not work when the amount of money is used. Why can Vodafone not make a signal that tells us; the monthly money is used. Or send a SMS for every $10.00 used over the cap plan. In time, not days/ weeks later!

6760 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is terribly frustrating at 28 Dec 2010 04:19:56 PM
iphone 4 dropps out constantly, have had handset checked, call centres are always 30 to 40 minute waits and hard to understand people on the other end of the phone, contantly transfferred to other departments upon getting through finally, thus another 10-20 minute wait, and now the latest. -Internet. My god, this is rubbish, unusable where we live. We are in SOUTH EAST QLD - Upper Coomera told we were covered - we can't connect 2g or 3g most days and when we can it is abismally slow - sloooower than dial up modem - wireless net i am talking. Being hutchinson - I realise im probably locked in for another 23 mths at $30. Stear clear the softwares crap that runs these devices, supports abismal, and they lie about (network links/upgrades,etc) We have made several attempts now to have this corrected and have failed to date. Yes. I have given up. What would it cost me to take to court! This is white collar crime. They suck. Not happy. Nathan nathanburke77@msn.com

Just completed a 2 yr OVERPRICED contract with vodafone. we have 2 phones and 90% of calls drop out within 10 secs of answering.We live in Brisbane metro area and to have virtually every call drop out is absolute rubbish. Complained at the Vodafone shop in Hyperdome 15 months ago and told upcoming work in the next week or so should solve the problem. No such Luck. Probably no workhas or was ever carried out. We have both changed to another provider as we found their reception far superior. Vodafone keep sending bills but are an absolute rip off and fraud.
