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

Vodafail.com is no longer accepting complaints.

My wife and i had 3 mobile phones with 3. Since they merged with vodafone we experienced coverage problems. We had reduced coverage for about 6 months. The previous 7 years to this happening we always had 5 bars of reception. We suddenly lost all reception completely for about 4 days on all 3 of our mobiles. We were 9 months into a 2 year contract with 3/vodafone. many phone calls later and they were still blaming the handsets and not the network. We even got three new sim cards which did nothing to fix the issue. Finally i had enough and 1 more phone call explaining i had three mobiles im front of me with new sim cards they finally excepted that it was the network and not my handsets. I got all 3 contracts terminated with no exit fee. All i had to do was return the handsets in an envelope they supplied me. Does not make up for 6 months of bad coverage but at least i do not have to deal with them anymore. I have since moved to telstra. FULL RECEPTION!!! Keep arguing with vodafone and you can get your contract cancelled with no cancellation fee!

I have been attempting to set up a small computer repair shop for some time.
I finally was on call with my dream supplier. The phone dropped out. They said they will not supply some one who hangs up on them or can not keep adequate phone communication.
28 Dec 2010 12:26:25 AM: I;m an Idependent ACN Representative,I understand how everyone are totally dissatisfied with the Vodaphone phone, internet and customer service qualities. Our ACN customer services are incredible. You can reach them less than 10 mins pratically everytime. They are fast and effiecient and never transfer your call unlike Telstra or Optus as I heard, If you want to know more about us, contact me in my email at cengiz@acnrep.com I loves to turn UNHAPPY customer to HAPPY customer.

I stupidly have my internet and mobile phone through Vodafone. Coverage from my house is absolutely craptacular most of the time for both internet and phone. I can't make a phone call in my local shopping mall. To bad if I was getting attacked in the carpark because there is noooo coverage under there. I was sent some picture text from a mate on Christmas day. It's now the 27th and i'm still waiting for them. My internet has to be hung out the window for it to work.

3937 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Extreme Fail at 27 Dec 2010 04:56:14 PM
For over 3 years now we've put up with absolute disgraceful reception. Considering that we live in a good area, hubby works Silverwater way and has the same problem we have here at home. We have dropouts almost every phone call, people can hear us we can't hear them. Text messages won't send or delay in sending. Phone needs to be turned on and off a few times to get messages to send. There is 3 of us on a plan together and this just isn't good enough we pay over $200 a month for vodafone. For absolute useless unreliable service. I suffer anaphylaxis and need to have good reliable service as I'm allergic to many things severely. Vodafone used to be a great company with awesome phone upgrades and fantastic service...What happened????? Now they give the crapiest phones on upgrades. My husband has been with vodafone for approximately 16 years. We will not be renewing our contracts when they finally end next year. Vodafone absolutely disgraceful

I live in the inner suburbs of Sydney and 90% of the time cannot get signal in my home. I did send a complaint via the Vodafone site and someone did get back to me to help resolve the issue. However, the network dropped the call and nobody ever called me back again. Counting the days until I can get out of my contract!

I signed up with vodafone about 9 months ago on a 24 month iPhone 3GS $69 plan, first problem I had was with my 1st bill. It's supposed to be $69 a month but I get charged 70.31, i receive SMS from vodafone about my online bill and I have this option switched off in my profile, my 2nd problem was next to no signal if it doesn't lose the network, my 3rd problem is also the billing ATM, I payed my bill online twice without realizing (was tired and it was a few days prior) and it still says I owe them, I know it takes 24 hours for it to go through so I called them after 3 days and had a lady confirm their servers were indeed down and that I have paid a couple months in advance. There was is no online notification at the time unless you phone them, All this is pissing me not to mention not being able to understand the broken English some of vodafones staff speak

I have been with vodafone for about 18 months - for the first 12 months - no real problems, the last 3 months the service has been embarrassing. So many times my wife has accused me of been on the phone with my phone being busy whilst I haven't been on the phone, then the data performance...example today wanting to do my internet banking on my phone it took 40 minutes....which is becoming typical of the service....then of course there are the constant network unavailable messages or network busy that appear when im trying to make a phone call.

3932 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is at 27 Dec 2010 04:55:22 PM
I have several of the issues mentioned re drop outs and late sms but I have also, up until recently had my phone turning on then off. I was told to send it to the manufacturer for repair however, strangly, this only happened at my house and to my wifes phone also. Anyone would know two phones side by side doing this similtanously was not going to be an individual phone failure issue. After all, they both worked fine every where else. Also when I purchased these phones I was told by 3 (Vodaphone)that outside the capital cities they roamed onto and shared the Telstra network. However whilst travelling in Aust. recently I was unable to get coverage in some towns and when I rang to enquire they told me they had no coverage in this towns. Begs the question, whose network do they use in the country and it is Telsrta, is it selective?

I frequently have to restart my phone to get service. I will often not get my message bank messages until the following day. And when i try to call Vodafone about this it takes me friggin ages to get to help thanks to the automated computer (help) system. "FED UP"

3928 Someone from TAS thinks vodafone is call drop outs & delayed text msgs at 27 Dec 2010 04:54:58 PM
Calls that are on the VF to VF minutes(free) disconnect. Text messages are delayed in delivery, I recently received a text message sent from Sydney @ 8pm which arrived @ 12.15am which caused alarm for me at that time of night. As a prepaid customer,getting any assistance with "Customer Service" is non existant cannot get anyone on the phone nor any response with emails. I think the reception & service is far worse now since tha amalgamation with 3Network.

How can you run a Billion dollar telecommunication service and advertise your product on F1 cars. The cars might be fast but there support is like a car with no motor. poo poo poo shame on you VodaPhone. I waited 2 and a half hours for a phone support.

Are trying over and over to contact vodafone, I could never get through. I had nothing but problems & obviously they didn't care. I had enough of it dropping out and my calls failing. I run a business and vodafone failed to delivered what was promised. They are a pathetic excuse for a company & even the staff in store have a 'I don't care' attitude. They are certainly not about keeping their customers happy as their slogan states. They should be shut down!!

3924 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Never fail to disappoint at 27 Dec 2010 04:54:08 PM
As per every Vodafone customer I have experienced the usual call drop outs, reception that resembles calling from a basement and the most unhelpful, painstaking customer service procedures known to man. Of recent I was put through 3 hours of customer service hell. If not for my love for Lara's automated voice I would of given up after 10mins. I had 3 problems,
1. Removing Credit Card Details from a old number and adding same details to existing number.
2. Obtaining pin to access mailbox of previous number.
3. Accessing MyVodafone due to some unbeknown reason the website instructed to contact Vodafone.
After several attempts of trying to speak to an actual operator with no success something happened and I spoke with a human. However this representative was in billing and as Prepaid customer we aren't as important and get the good old transfer trick followed by 30mins of ridiculous music. Retry and on this occasion the individual in billing actually assisted and removed the credit details from old number and solved the voicemail pin issue and solved my girlfriends MyVodafone issue. After ending call I attempted to add my credit details to existing number however I was not able to do this via the handset, the error message advised me to contact my bank as the card details were not correct. Frustrated at this I attempted to contact customer service, several attempts later I spoke with someone after been transferred from billing for been PrePaid. This gentleman advised that he couldn't help as this department was currently closed and was unable to add the card details manually. I was very angry as I had just previously removed the details with another rep. I requested to speak to the previous rep that had assisted me previously and was told that he was not available due to it been outside of his work hours. I then asked to speak with a supervisor and was put on hold, once taken off hold I was told I was getting transferred to someone who could assist but wasn't a supervisor, I wasn't given opportunity to respond. The next rep I was put through to welcomed me and then silence, no response, no call drop out just silence. I believe I was muted, this continued for 30mins before I ended the call. My next attempt after several in between the operator told me I was unable to add my card details which I just removed from previous number because I had no available funds, apparently you require $1 which is refunded to you at a later date to register card details. They don't advise this in the call however somewhere in some terms and conditions this is stated. I was furious as you could imagine. Vodafone constant lack of help and the rudeness of operators has got to stop. Anyone who has experienced the automated voice of Lara has an idea of what we all have to endure. Its like they will do anything to not actually allow you to speak to a human. Class action is more than necessary.

3923 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is Not at all at 27 Dec 2010 04:53:54 PM
There is no issue with Vodafone at all, I have been a customer for 2 years and the service and coverage have been nothing more then exceptional. The people out there who have time to waste complaining about trivial issues such as this, should really over christmas find some joy and start enjoying this time of year. INSTEAD of sitting online and complaining. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
27 Dec 2010 05:04:18 PM: You are sadly, sadly, sadly mistaken. I have stood next to a person and they had 4 bars on their iphone for coverage while my Vodaphone iphone had NO SERVICE.

Is not trivial when this is the phone you use for business and your customers think you are ignoring their call and voicemail.
27 Dec 2010 05:06:11 PM: Ummmm ok. One happy customer. There's hope Vodafone.
PS Vodafone CEO Nigel Dew has admitted that there are issues. As an employee of Vodafone or a reseller or whatever you are, why don't you bat it out with him.

Now if you are really a satisfied CUSTOMER (which I doubt), why don't you let us all know what suburb you live in so that we can test coverage there.
27 Dec 2010 05:32:58 PM: Are you a Vodacrap employee? If you think not being able to make a phonecall is trivial then you really need to pull your head out of your arse & have a good look around.
28 Dec 2010 08:24:16 AM: Okay own up, who let the Mormans in?

No coverage at Carricklinga after being assured it would be fine, unlocked phone so I could buy another sim to use at Carrickalinga at my cost and I am still havng to pay the full contract. No chance of cancelling the contract so paying full price for 2 years for nothing...
27 Dec 2010 04:56:06 PM: Carrickalinga has never been fine. Should be able to get out of contract due to lack of coverage. Contact Vodafone, wouldn't expect a problem with termination fron Crricakalinga.

3920 Someone from WA thinks vodafone is 50-50 at 27 Dec 2010 04:53:33 PM
I'm both with 3 and Vodafone, both has it's perks and downside. Coverage wise I think 3 catered for me the most especially in my area. I live 10 minutes away from the city and I barely get any 3G coverage with Vodafone, it's either I'm on EDGE or worse GSM (seriously GSM?), it's quite inconvenient because I have a blackberry and most of the time the BIS is inactive because of the coverage and I happen to use my phone for work purposes. Sometimes my phone calls drops out and calling takes a while or sometimes it doesn't even connect. It gets irritating after a while.

I made the move to Vodafone because I though it would be better since they were a bigger company than 3 and their coverage is supposedly wider. I haven't had any other problems, when I want to make a few changes, just do it online on MY VODAFONE, saves you time and hassle talking to the call centre representatives.

I expected the coverage to be better though, for it's standards.

I personally uses Optus and have no complaints but the company I work for uses Vodafail and poorer coverage I have never seen. With continual drop-outs, dialing someone and waiting forever for a connection if you get one at all and dialing someone and they can hear you but you can't hear them. You bet smarten up your act because there are far better Telcos around and when contracts finish people will leave believe me you don't want to end up like One Tel

So were can I start - Purchas 2 blackberry phones live din Cairns guess what poor service - complained they did not listen- moved back home to brisbane north and same issue poor service / coverage. Called vodafail several times took them 4 months to investigate the issue finally they agreed we lived in a "black spot area" all coverage is a black spot for vodafail!!! So I ported one number to telstra and cancelled the other and they agreed to this but what happened next is they continued to send me a bill (after I waited on the vodafail phone line for 30 minutes then I was transferred to india and I was hung up on - spoke to a supervisor and i was promised this would be fixed drama after drame this has now been going on the 7 months and guess what I just received on the 10th of December another bill !!!!!!! they have no idea it is now the 27th of december and I am currently on hold as I am tyoing this (I have now been on hold foe 40 minutes) I wonder what this phone call will bring what a mess - Vodafail is a disgrace - their service is a joke their coverage is a disgrace - something needs to be done !!!

3911 Someone from QLD thinks vodafone is very bad at 27 Dec 2010 04:52:32 PM
I signed up with Vodaphone in february 2009 for a two year contract. I have never before experienced such a bad level of service from any other mobile service provider as I have experienced with Vodaphone. On 24/11/10 because of bad coverage, disgusting service to name a few issues I signed up with Telstra and quit my contract early. What an amazing difference the coverage is to start with.
Some of the issues I had with Vodaphone were no coverage in so many areas on the Gold Coast. I thought the Gold Coast was a major city in Australia and that coverage with Vodaphone would be good. Think again.. Other issues that I was confronted with were.
1. I signed up to a plan as advertised for $79.00, Vodaphone then charged me GST on top of this, no information was given to me by the sales person when signing up about the extra cost of GST. When I went back to query this they told me I should have read the fine print. Very Deceptive Vodaphone.
2. I signed up with them and the phone I was convinced to get- The Blackberry Storm was supposed to be the epitomy of Phones and EXCLUSIVE to Vodaphone. Not a very good phone at all. No wonder it was exclusive to Vodaphone, none of the others wanted it.
3. I paid extra for insurance as the phone was an expensive one. When I lost the phone and went to claim through insurance to get another phone they made me pay $250.00 approx to get it replaced. What the hell was the insurance for then, if I had to pay for a new phone. Also another issue not advised to me by the salesperson. Yet again more deception from Vodaphone.
4. These are only some of my issues I have had. I can't count the amount of times I have gone into a Vodaphone store and got such bad service from their staff.

3905 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Very at 27 Dec 2010 04:51:59 PM
Frequent call drop outs - usually after 4 - 5 mins. Also calls occasionally simply will not connect in any form requiring that I reset the network on my phone (iPhone - a 3G for 18 months, now a 4). Frequent = multiple times per day, no pattern in numbers (mobile, landline, local, national and international are all affected). This aspect is embarrassing as I use the phone for business conversations and conference calls. I now know I cannot host a conference initiated from my mobile phone because of this issue and have to make alternate arrangements for conference bridges when I am travelling.

No real issues noted with SMS.

3G data performance is patchy and doesn't seem to reflect signal strength indicated on the handset. I often use the phone to "tether" for internet access for my PC when travelling. I can be connected, and suddenly the PC reports no connection and it re-establishes. On occasion I cannot reconnect without a reset of my network. This occurs several times every time I travel which is at least once per fortnight.

They have charged my credit card twice within a couple of days and are still sending me reminders that my account is overdue. I have rung a numerous amount of times and emailed. I cannot get through and am very p..... off. I always pay my bills on time and to have a company saying that I am overdue due to there problems is really annoying. I just hope I don't get a bad credit rating out of this. I have been with Vodafone for many years and because of the customer service due to this error I think I will be moving unless they do something to right this wrong.

3903 Someone from SA thinks vodafone is Very at 27 Dec 2010 04:51:51 PM
I moved from Telstra to Vodafone in June. Worst decision I have ever made. Sure they offered better free phones on their cap plans then Telstra, but that's where it ends. I have never had 3G coverage at my house (I live 10min from the city). My reception is continuously dropping in and out. The majority of the time I have no reception, because the phone is switching between 3G and 2G. I have lost count of the number of phone call that have just dropped out mid-call because of bad reception. Data connections are patchy and slow.

Switching to Vodafone was the worst decision I have made with regards to mobile carrier. Shocking service.

Customer for 14 years. Terrible service cover and drop outs - my business could not handle the problems. 5 weeks without proper service. Only got motivation from Vodafone when contacted Technical Director. Vodafone does work outside major cities.. 3G service is a joke. Have now changed to Telstra after protracted "negotiation" over "payout figures" - finally Vodafone offered to break contract and waive all associated fees.

3901 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is Worst Network EVER at 27 Dec 2010 04:51:40 PM
I was a vodafone customer for about 3 years, i moved from Victoria to Jindabyne in NSW, which is at the base of Mt Perisher, as i was moving my contract was up i went into vodafone to talk about reception in the area i was moving to.
I was assured i would have great reception, was told broadband 3G coverage was avaliable, so i renewed my contract and moved.

When i arrived in Jindabyne i had no reception AT ALL. I then entered into an argument with Vodafone over this issue and they told me they have a tower in Jindabyne and it's not possible for me to have no reception. They sent me new sim cards, i drove 2 hrs to canberra to replace the handset but nothing!

The only way i got reception was to drive to the highest point in town and i would ger 3 bars.

It got to the point where i moved into an appartment at the top of the hill so i could always recieve calls and txt.

This went on for over 12 months and not once did Vodafone admit there was a problem and they told me noone else in the area had ever complained.. i found out of the local technician that vodafone had been trying to repair their tower for the last 18 months but with no success!

Eventually i went to the telephone ombudsum (can't spell that) and filed a complaint, when i called and told them my issue and who it was with, they said they weren't suprised and have had this with Vodafone a lot!

They cancelled my contract with no charge and i am now on Telstra. It was the most frustrating experience of my life, in the end i suppose you get what you pay for... but with vodafone i was paying and not getting!

WORST NETWORK EVER!! Stop spending money on marketing and spend it on fixing your product!

After 45 mins CS Vodafone tried to tell me how to configure IE, I explained that I have been constantly have 3G problems not IT issues, I am a IT employee so I know what I am doing. I told the CS that maybe Vodafone has sucked the bandwith out of 3G by the Ashes LIVE service. Strangee how most of the network trouble seems to have been occurring in the lead up. I cnnot connet 3G only hit and miss at GPRS at 59bps thats bits per second.!!!

3894 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Should be dead at 27 Dec 2010 04:50:52 PM
They expect me to pay for my lack of reception, and almost life threatning incident.

Two weeks ago I was stranded alone in the bush of NSW. with no food, and there car broken down, the only hope I had was my Vodafone mobile, what a "great" help they are. With my phone reading full three bar service i attempted calling for help. Nothing. No dial tone, No message banks, No service what-so-ever.

After walking for five hours along one road I finally made it to a house on the outskirts of a town. The person found me collapsed on their doorstep and pulled me inside. I asked if they got service out here. And they said yes of course Optus is brilliant out here. Looks like optus will be taking my next phone contract. After trying to call voda head office they told me it was my fault that my car had broken down.

Cheers Vodafail for almost killing me, and then caring. :(
28 Dec 2010 07:18:30 AM: Wow how nice is that...you weren't even phoning to complain you car had broken down. That is such great customer service....not
29 Dec 2010 09:20:24 AM: I agree. You need to make your points clearer.. It was not vodafones fault that your car broke down and you having no food...They are a phone provider. So all you can complain about is your phone not working...DOnt blame them for having no food and your car breaking down. Head office in this instance were made a correct statement
29 Dec 2010 11:24:14 AM: Yeah i know how you feel...i called to complain that my girlfriend got pregnant and they were at fault but they said it wasn't their fault...THANKS, NICE ONE VODAFAIL. I should point out, I'm not even with Vodafone...

Been with Vodafone for many years- big mistake. Countless letters were ignored when I had three faulty phones which were replacements. Voda finally responded five months later and gave me another phone.
Endless number of dropped calls - no reception in busy areas - 3G network hardly has coverage - Im sick and tired of having my complaints fall upon deaf ears!

Is it really acceptable to constantly be at one bar of reception or for 3G to be a rare sighting on the phone? Why have a Vodafone outlet in an area that doesn't even support the product properly.
29 Dec 2010 11:17:36 AM: Have you seen the new vodadeath version of the iPhone. Where the standard version has 5 bars to represent signal strength, this new version only has one bar and when it registers a signal, the screen plays an animation of fireworks and a rousing rendition of Beethoven's 9th symphony!! Serious! If you believe Voda reps (and you do cause you are here posting) you will believe this!! Believe...

3889 Someone from SA thinks vodafone is not the company it used to be at 27 Dec 2010 04:49:54 PM
2 broken handsets that apparently cannot be replaced without breaking two contracts (despite the upgrade your handsets for a little extra each month! ads I am bombarded with). My partner and I both signed up under a three months free offer which we didn't get. When I contacted them they apologised and gave me a credit, my partner however has been fighting them for over a YEAR to get his. The customer service used to be wonderful now I have been hung up on repeatedly and they see you as a problem to get off the phone -they are not interested in actually fixing your issue. We also bought our handsets online and no one seems to be responsible for phones purchased online. Right now I am counting the days to the end of my contracts.
I used to work for a telco and when you make a complaint to the ombudsman it costs the company $600 - no matter what the outcome of the complaint is. Always keep that in mind when dealing with a telco. If you are arguing over $300 it is always in the best interests of the telco to give you the money and save the cost of a complaint - so threaten the ombudsman if they do not resolve the complaint to your satisfaction and make sure they are aware of the costs their company will incur based on your complaint (a lower level call centre worker may not be aware of this and just want you off the phone).
27 Dec 2010 05:59:45 PM: If everyone here lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman (161 posts x $600) this would cost Vodafone $96,600.00
Should we all strategise and hit the Ombudsman at once?

3882 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Expensively Pathetic at 27 Dec 2010 04:49:08 PM
The biggest gripe I have is with Lara, I went over to Vanuatu and forgot to get my phone set to international roaming, so I borrowed my friends phone to call Vodaphone customer service.
Straight away Lara " identified that I was calling from oversea`s and someone would be with me in just a moment ! For the next 40 minutes I was told they "are flat out at the moment but someone would be with me very soon" and other BS recorded messages ! . After giving up after 40 minutes I tried 3 more times over the next few days at different times of the day and night adding up to 1hr of waiting on hold from overseas! In the end I never got to speak to a human and never got my phone working whilst away. What my friend got was a extra couple of hundred dollars on her phone bill which I reimbursed her for and for that couple of hundred dollars I got the privilege of waiting on hold to Vodaphone`s so called Customer Service.
Vodaphone if your waiting times are so long because your so flat out dealing with customer service issues`s then at least employee more people too answer the phone and help sort out your shit

additionally, I am on a 2 year contract, it annoys me that some days I can have service at one end of my house I have an average size house)but intermittent service at the bedroom end of the house WTF.
Sometimes I have 5 bars on my phone other times I need to drive around the corner to make a phone call. Even in Sydney city sometimes there is NO Service.
Crap signal, Crapola Customer Service ! in these days of technology

Vodaphone blocks calls to Cuba and also FROM cuba, this is after advertising on their website that you can make all international calls in certain cap plans. But once you sign up with then on a contract they say oh you can call cuba and "we dont know when it'll be fixed". They are highly deceptive in their advertising and border or illegal or fraudulent practices. I realize that this particular problem will not affect many people but Australia is a multicultural country and this sort of deceptive behaviour by vodaphone affects the Spanish speaking diaspora in Australia.

So here it is. As ex staff member of Vodafone, I was disgusted to find out that Vodafone actually charge you on their premium 123 service to wait on their queues. When you ring 123 in sit on their queue, which lately are long and often you pay to sit their listening to advertising and music. Instead of actually charging you when a rep answers your call they decided to charge you to wait on the queue. Once upon time the Service Level on the 123 calls was around 95% calls answered within under 30 seconds. As a caller on 123 this Service Level is out the door. I spend so much time waiting such that I never call this service ever again. To make matters worse most customer service calls are handled overseas and after trying to get a copy of a plan agreement 5 times I will not call their customer service lines ever again. Instead I call friends that still work for Vodafone to help. I cannot believe that Vodafone can charge YOU/US to pay a premium charge to wait for their insufficient staffing levels to be able to answer your call. How is this right. The next time you call 123 and you go through to a queue remember you are paying top top dollar to listen to their advertising and rank music.
27 Dec 2010 04:53:50 PM: You're calling a premium number and complaining about cost? Just call the 1555 number then if you don't want to pay, it's not like they force you to call 123.

Very poor coverage even though io live not far from a tower. Reception goes from G3 to Edge instantly without moving the phone (I have a BB Bold 9700). Very often the Reception is gone for hours and can not access the internet. Getting emails very slow, late. Many other gripes to many to mention. Will be leaving Vodafone at the first opportunity. I wonder what BlackBerry would think seeing that many customers like me have a BlackBerry?

I had absolute terrible reception mosttimes having to walk outside of any building to make a call. all other networks worked in side those buildings. further more it was ALWAYS hard to hold a conversation as the line would break up stutter and drop in and out. Customer service from vodafone is the worst i have ever come across, i have been on hold for hours at a time. I was still getting billed once i discontinued service from them.
I changed providers and it has changed my mobile world, I don't know why i didn't do it sooner....

Vodafone are in a binding contract with us to provide a service. when i try to cancel my plan i am told i have to pay in excess of $1000 to break the contract. Optus is a far better Telco. at least they treat you like a person.

I have 3 numbers with voda and have got accustomed to the bad reception and lack of service in store with any questions.

But recently one of my contacts had expired so i needed to notify voda that i wanted it terminated. 1 in store visit and 3 daily calls later
I called keyed in all my info joined the que. was told 35 min was the eta to wait. then after 40 min my phone cut out.

the next day i tried again but this time using the option to get a call back from voda. all i got was a voicemail saying i had missed there call

day 3 after 1.5 hours on the phone and talking to 3 different people who i gave all my info to every time and said they all could help with my simple request of closing the account i finally got put threw to someone who could action this very simple request but then tried to sell me a wireless internet card at which point i express my disappointment and frustration.

This was finally done but i had to wait another month as they had gone over the bill cycle at this stage 4 days after i first attempted to cancel this number

3852 Someone from NT thinks vodafone is Coverage at 27 Dec 2010 04:46:25 PM
The coverage I get is really shit! I can walk into the major shopping center in the center of Darwin (a captial city!) and my phone will go in and out of service and drop out all together. Their internet coverage is shit too. Take agers and is barely available.

3850 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Disgusting at 27 Dec 2010 04:46:22 PM
Unlucky for me, I am locked into a contract till August 2011. Vodafone's reception is non-existent 70% of the time. I have no recepption in most of my house and have to walk outside, down the yard for 3 bars of reception. I have to turn the phone off and on numerous times sometimes because of no reception at all at my place.
Customer service promise they will look into the problem but nothing has been done so far. Phone calls drop out for no reason even if you are both standing still. IBlackspots while travelling are a nightmare. I have comnplained numerous times and still no better off, just more and more frustrated.

3848 Someone from NT thinks vodafone is totally useless at 27 Dec 2010 04:46:03 PM
I can not get reception inside the house to make phone calls but my wife can with her Telstra mobile. The mobile will work on the verandah but not inside the house.

I do not intend to renew my contract. This service is completely unsatisfactory.
