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.

854 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is Drop outs Galore at 18 Dec 2010 03:24:25 PM
Get drop outs galore! Blackberry keeps going between EDGE and 3G in the CBD, never used have this problem before 3 and Voda formed VHA, bring back the former CEO Russell Hewitt and his old team i say....He got the network pumping before the new CEO Nigel Dews and their 3 Network mentality screwed it up!

853 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is Its meant to provide mobile service isnt it? at 18 Dec 2010 03:24:00 PM
Dropped calls going down a hill, dropped calls around the house, its ridiculous. Never EVER going with vodafone again or 3. They are crap and load all these customers without updating the infrastructure. Buildig your bottom line may be important but it will be your downfall if you dont keep customers happy.

852 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is extremely poor at delivering a consistent service at 18 Dec 2010 03:19:21 PM
Time to switch Networks methinks, I no longer receive phone calls. I get voicemail calls about two hours after the fact. Very embarrassing when I have to call my clients back and explain the situation. On top of that I have to pay for the calls which otherwise I would not have to if I had a phone reception.

Very disappointing.

Former victim, though even though I've left them they still managed to wreck my life as the phone was still stuffed with they're corrupted OS. Mostly it was they're UK people who refused to allow you to top up. They never did tell me what happened to my credit card and bang details. They kept dispearing, and they could never tell me why.

I had to suffer mobile broadband for 3 months, it will constantly drop out and if I am lucky it won't eat up all my data as a result. Don't even get me started on my phone I have 1.3gigs a month but I rarely get a chance to enjoy it because I can't connect to the 3g network

3G performance is terrible. I've tried several times to do some browsing at townhall station (the platform not the tunnel) and its slow to be point of being unuseable.

Overwhelmingly it feels like 95% of the time 3G is not useable. I should've just joined Telstra with their 500Mb plan.

845 Someone from ACT thinks vodafone is Broadband poor at 18 Dec 2010 02:14:13 PM
South Eastern Victoria

For some months this year In used prepay 3g Voda broadband for interent radio for about 1-2 hours per day. The prepay modem being conntected to a wifi router feeding signal to the internet radio. However, the radio kept continously dropping out because the modem kept needing to re-acquire the network. Unlocked the modem and changed to prepay Virgin broadband (Optus network) still using the same wifi router. The 3g signal strength here being the same. Suddenly no problems, only very rarely does the internet radio drop out. The comparison Voda dropped out here every few minutes, Virgin dropouts are very rare most days none at all.

844 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is substandard and unable to deliver on contract at 18 Dec 2010 02:09:52 PM
Called Vodafone to register call dropouts, lack of coverage etc;
A recorded message recommended I leave my name and phone number so that a consultant could call back when I had progressed in the queue.
Over an hour later, I did get a call back - only to be put back in the queue! 10 minutes later, a consultant answered. And then my call dropped out.
Vodafone, you really are doing the wrong thing by your customers. And ultimately you will be forced to apologise and compensate. Your lack of responsiveness wins you no fans. In Australia, consumers appreciate transparency.
I, a customer for over 8 years will be leaving and not coming back.
My lifetime customer value will be going somewhere else.
Do the maths Vodafone and sort yourselves out.

If you are not with Vodafone and are considering signing up with them, don't. Read this forum, search the whirlpool forums and read the news. Vodafone have a terrible network and poor, poor service.

842 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Very poor at 18 Dec 2010 01:55:30 PM
My company changed provider from Telstra to Vodafone 12 months ago. I have experienced nothing but constantly dropped calls, inability to connect calls and poor data coverage. I work in The Rocks in NSW and our office is in an area where their is apparently a "black-spot" meaning we receive very erratic, intermittent services.

I sometimes receive voicemails 6 -8 hours late. My customers think that I am being rude and not responding to their calls. Our company first reported the issue 10-11 months ago but it is an ongoing issue for us.

I say return us to Telstra so we can enjoy trouble free, drop-out free, instant voicemail services.

Thanks

It's impossible to talk to a real person at Customer "Service" (?) without having to wait on hold for at least 45 minutes. Maybe that's their tactic to make us think twice about calling to complain.

840 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is sucking, but not in a good way. at 18 Dec 2010 01:29:16 PM
I was overjoyed when my prepaid $29 Cap was suddenly updated to 500MB bandwidth allowance. "This is awesome!" I thought to myself at the time, a justification to buying my iPhone upfront.

Except. Most of the time, a large majority of the time, even, I am unable to connect to the 3G network, or even the regular one. I bought an iPhone in the first place so that I could take advantage of being connected wherever I went - this is useful for my job which requires me to travel around the city a lot. I have lost count of the times I have been caught at 2am in an unknown place (my job often finishes at this time), and frikkin Vodafone refuses to connect to the network or, when it does, is so slow it is unusable.

The Vodafone 3G maxes out at 45kbps. This is when it does connect. This isn't broadband, or even fast. This is a joke, and the assholes are charging us for uploads as well, so everytime you have to reload that page which has timed out for the nth time, Vodafone is effectively stealing money off you. Byte. By. Byte.

If Vodafone stopped throwing Island parties (I kid you not - Vodafone owns a party barge moored just outside Taronga Zoo), maybe they could afford a proper network, real people to speak with and free blowjobs all around.


Still, they are better than Optus (who once tried to screw me out of $800+ dollars and who, btw, just threw a massive 6000 person Christmas party yesterday) and Telstra (just because). I am paying $0.50 per text message. WTF? A message is a tiny tiny amount of data, how can they continue ripping us off like this? Enough is enough.

Vodafail.

You guys are retarted, if things dont work on your phone maybe try and be patient and go into a store like EVERYONE ELSE! Or if you call up Customer Care pronounce your words clearly and you will be handled by the right department. Also if it is a phone problem more times than one it is a software issue and all you need to do is visit your home computer rather than bitch about a network provider who dont manafacture the phones. e.g. if your iphone isnt working why dont you moan to apple rather vodafone seeing as last time I checked they make the phone. So next time sort your problems out properly and learn to be patient.

835 Someone from ACT thinks vodafone is To the extreme at 18 Dec 2010 01:10:15 PM
My partner has been getting the slow/delayed SMS messages to the point that SMS'ing her is essentially useless. Most of the messages turn up 12-24 hours late and come through in a flurry... this is with the phone in a location with full reception all day.

The visual voicemail is always unreliable on iPhone's as well, I often get the notification that I have a message and when I go to fetch it, it isn't there. If I wait half an hour the message will eventually turn up and I can access it properly.

Everytime I have called Vodafone to complain they have blamed the handset or my location (CBD), I am glad someone has put a website together to provide Vodafone feedback, I thought we were the only ones suffering!

834 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is ultra-mega-maxtreme fail at 18 Dec 2010 01:07:03 PM
Been a Three customer for years & always had ok coverage - but as soon as they merged with Vodaphone, my coverage dropped out entirely in the house. (despite 3 asuring me nothing has technically changed yet. I no longer have service on 3G in the house - the only way I can keep my phone operating is to leave it set to 2G only. Reception is terrible & echoes, and Data is not worth bothering its so slow.

I reported this problem to Three over a month ago, the response was poor. The extent of their technical support was 4 different people telling me on 4 separate occasions - "have you turned your phone off and back on again, turn of 3G..."

I've now waited over a month for them to "Investigate" the network coverage problem, and today they reported back to me: Apparently they have not found any problem with the network "because no one else in my area has reported a problem within 500m of my house" (their words exactly) !!!!

So basically - because no one else has complained - they are not prepared to do anything or even admit there might be a problem... So everyone else out there, don't forget to report the problems you are having...

Hi Ho Hi Ho - its off to the TIO....

I have been with Vodafone for 6 years and never had a problem, but in the last few months it's all just completely fallen apart, I've never been angrier with any company in all my life.

Minimum standards must be legislated and customers compensated. What a joke. What a monumental con.

Provider has failed to provide "clear" terms of what is included and excluded from my contract, after signing me up for another 24 months.
Specifically - the "CALL Screen Service" is being charged as an "extra" on top of my contract .
As of 18/12/2010 , the Vodafone website DID NOT have Call Screen as an "exclusion" from their $49 cap plan. The contract that I have physically signed at the store, does not mention about these exclusions either. Its is absolutely misleading to hide these finer details of terms and conditions from consumers.
I have gone through ALL TERMS and CONDITIONS of the plan that I signed up for, and nowhere it does mention about these services and their exclusions.
This is true and correct as of 18/12/2010 and I would not be surprised if VODAFONE changes the contents of their website and disagrees with my statements. However, the Cancellations team Service rep agreed with me that this was not on the website - and I hope they have a recording of the call "for quality and training " purposes.

819 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Very Poor at 18 Dec 2010 11:30:30 AM
Bought a Blackberry and was assured by Vodafone that I would have full 3g and Data coverage in Wollongong, transfered my service from a 'no plans' to a Blackberry package, immediately after I activated the phone I had no or only GSM service. Unless I'm standing immediately under a mobile tower I have very little coverage and I'm unable to use any of the functions of the phone. Calls continually drop out, emails sometimes take 24 hours from sender to me, voice mail messages have arrived 2 days later, the list goes on. I have noticed a slight improvement in coverage in the past week but its still intermittent with periods of ZERO coverage. Tried contacting Customer Service, but as the calls continually drop out unless I get an answer in 45 seconds or less, I have no hope. Tried emailing my problem to them, several automated emails over 3 weeks I'm no closer. Made a complaint to the TIO and have had a reply from them but no joy from Vodafone. 6 weeks into the debacle, I'm still paying bills for something I'm not getting and my service is still CRAP!

I find it difficult to understand how a brand like Vodafone which seems large and professional can offer such a sub par service and not really address it with its customers. I work in Pyrmont in the City and generally have no reception on my phone. similarly, my partner in Surry Hills generally has no service. The weird thing is some times when we are together my phone will work and hers wont or vice versa. So its just certain customers and not others that get faulty service? why is that?

I signed up for mobile broadband plan with a USB modem about 6 months ago, it was okay for a little while (like the trial period) and since has become pathetic bigtime. It's slow even when I'm getting 3 or 4 bars. And downloading, crikey, it's often 50 kpbs. It's not mobile broadband, it's more like mobile dialup, pathetic. I'd love it if their network performance invalidates contracts because I'd be gone in in sixty seconds.

799 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is severely failing their customers at 18 Dec 2010 10:34:25 AM
I've been with Vodafail for around 10 years and haven't had an issue with them at all, until the last couple of weeks. Unable to make or receive any calls all weekend (during the week it seemed better). Unfortunately I only just re-signed a new contract, before all the current frustrations.

After 10 years of good service, it only takes one poorly handled incident (no communications at all) to loose a loyal customer. If it is possible for me to break out of my contract without pain or expense, I'll definitely be looking elsewhere.

I had an internet account for approximately 3 years and a mobile phone account for 5 years. Last year they sent me a bill for $1500.00 for my phone and internet. I rang and complained to the stupid call centre people in india and was told they would drop my bill down to $1200.00. I said if you look back over my bills you could see that my phone and internet had never been more than $120.00. The call centre person told me I had to pay the bill, and I said no and they basically told me that they would take legal action against me and they were abusive swearing at me. In the end I went to the telephone onbudsman and they adjusted the bill to $120.00 but not without a massive fight. Then I decided to go on vodafone prepaid for $29.00 per month. I live in the inner suburbs of sydney and for nearly 5 months now I can barely get an internet connect that doesnt last more than 3 mins without dropping out. I rung and complained and again was told by somebody in india it was a problem with my computer. I am just disgusted by the behavour of a company that is not transparent with its behavour with its billing and you can never work out exactly what you owe.

What I can't stand is their sheer arrogance and disdain by which they treat the people that are paying them money ie their customers.

I think the govt should be looking at the contracts that lock people in and not allow them to move with paying penalty fees for putting up with such poor service, reception, drop outs, delays in actually making a call etc etc.

Voda with 3 are taking everyone for a ride but we should be getting off their bus...

794 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is my business is suffering at 18 Dec 2010 10:22:36 AM
Our business recently signed up to Vodaphone. What a disaster!! We have 10 mobiles on this plan and everyone is complaining of late SMS messages, no reception and at times an inability to call out or receive calls even when signal strength appears ok. Just about everyone in the organisation has tried ringing the so called service department to get answers. After sitting on hold for half the day they run you through a std script which will only frustrate the hell out of the caller. One of their operators recently blamed the phones that we were using. Fortunately the phones were bundled with the plan, so Vodaphone sent out new phones at no cost. Guess what? Same Problems!!! Do not use Vodaphony... Especially for your business!

Hi world. I signed up with vodafail in september using the samsung galaxy and since then i have had constant problems with the calls cutting out after 30 seconds or so, i thought maybe it was the galaxy or me touching the red button with my cheek but now i realise it is the vodafail network. Picture messages routinely take +12hours to get through or never come at all. Internet reception often fails even when out in the heart of sydney. I was pleased to read the article in smh about vodafail as now i know it is not just me or a fault with my phone however i would like to know when vodafone will be addressing this issue. It is extremely frustrating i wish i'd never been fooled into signing up with vodafail.

792 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is utterly epic fail at 18 Dec 2010 10:16:04 AM
How the hell can you NOT get 3G coverage in the center of the city? What is this Edge crap? So many call drop outs, data problems....

Did they not anticipate that if they have more customers (with the merger with 3) that there would be a significantly larger load on their services?

Telstra may have wider coverage of the country, but Voda/3 can't use that as an excuse. They're not a struggling start-up with funding and support issues.

I went with Voda because they had competitive plans. Don't tell me that cheap prices means cheap services? And when they say that they 'plan on upgrading' in the future, what the hell does that even mean? Surely the services would have been upgraded YEARS ago for this very reason, especially if they were even PLANNING on merging with 3?

791 Someone from ACT thinks vodafone is Not that much of a fail for me.... at 18 Dec 2010 10:13:21 AM
I've been on Vodafone for about four years now. I have some areas where I know coverage is limited. But I can accept this as it is usually in areas that I am transiting through.

I recently signed up for the pocket wifi. It is working fine for me. I use it for my iPhone when I am not in a normal wifi for data. Speeds are great. Happy with the price.

One thing that does to get me with Voda is the long long long wait times. When I called to make dome prepurchase enquiries about the pocket wifi, wanted to see if I could use bonus dollars for purchase, Lara told me it would approx 40 mins until my call was answered. I thought what a joke.

I think Voda should sort out the call centre and reduce answer times for people. And put a public notice in the paper And their website to advise people who have been having problems that they acknowledge this and that they are working to resolve it. I think a good will gesture may be to credit all contract customers and prepaid some credit to say Sorry.

Vodafone, please look into the reason why;

"live.vodafone.com" which is the default APN on the HTC Desire HD and Iphone, is so slow and intermittent

Yet if you change to....

"vfinternet", there is a noticable (yet still far from perfect) improvement in data throughput

1) MyVodafone Account website doesnt work consistently. Slow, can not retrieve account history, messages suggesting an error in retrieving account details (has been like this for years)

2)The "live.vodafone" APN is broken, further contributing to the slow data throughput experience on smart phones (been like this for months)

3)The Network Outage section of the website is "STILL" not accurately reflecting the extent of the problems.

4)The various Vodafone support channels e.g- Phone, Twitter etc are still denying the existance of problems.

I use mobile broadband while travelling. Reception has worsened remarkably. It frequently connects to Vodafone EDGE, which is as bad as it can be- can't even download small emails. Vodafone 3G is only slightly better. Rarely, it connects to Vodafone HSUPA and provides decent connection. This is all while sitting in the same location. Why can't it connect to HSUPA all the time? Why do I have to put up with substandard connections when a better one is available?

Once you finally receive voicemails a day late, you cannot access the voicemails. Intermitent data to access websites. Hours later to be notified of missed calls. It has been going on for months. Will definitely switch to other phone carrier once my contract is up.

Vodaphone and 3 have had major problems with roaming and billing for months.

The claim the problems have been fixed. WRONG! Currently in Darwin. Phone shows full bars for reception but pages take minutes to load. If at all. When I get back to Melbourne I'm going to make sone videos to prove that the problems have not been fixed. This is the only way to prove to them and the ombudsman that the network is broken. I suggest if you are Aa pissed off as I am you do the same and upload videos to YouTube. Then can all link into them via twitter and face book.

Some of my posts from WP:

Oh look, another bunch of unhappy Vodafone customers who are going to be lied to by Vodafone customer service about there being "no currently reported issues". Please...

After calling Vodafone about numerous call drop-outs, no internet access in 3G/2G and unable to send texts or make phone calls I FINALLY got some sense out of a CSR.

"Sir, I apologise but our network is congested beyond its capabilities at the moment. We are looking to upgrade sites in the future to deal with the sudden growth of customers using our network, but for the time being, there isn't really anything I can do to help you"

The helpful CSR even recommended that I switch to Telstra.

Vodafone are FULLY aware of the congestion issues, but are happily still signing up customers, and lowering their prices to get more and more and more people on board, thus adding to the issue.

followed pointless instructions about turning off the firewall and non-Microsoft services.

This is what really shits me about Vodafone customer services. They give you the run around and get you to do pointless troubleshooting when they know full well that the network is the problem (most of the time).

I've had Internet issues before with an iPhone 4, called up and was told to reset network settings, reflash phone, upgrade firmware yada yada only to be then told when all that failed that there was an Internet outage.

776 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is No Customer Service - EVER at 18 Dec 2010 09:49:13 AM
After 6 years with Vodafone it was time to seek another Telco as I could never get any network coverage nor customer service with Vodafone. I have a baby and for safety reasons needed to know my phone would work, it would often take me 5 tries to get a line out and then drop out after a few minutes. I tried to complain but it takes 40mins on hold to speak with anyone in Mumbai. Last week I went to a Vodafone shop, their network was down so they could not help with questions, I called the service hotline was on hold for 45mins to be told that their network was down and to call back in 3hours. I have been told a Supervisor would ring back, they never do. If you call Vodafone 123 that is a minimum cost of $4.77 - disgusting. And if I ever have to listen to Lara again I will go mad. Well I won't have to listen to Lara again as I have moved to Optus!

Thank you for building this website. So many people suffering, and we all thought we were alone. The bastards!!! Fuck them. They have been stalling, stalling, stalling everyone while trying to get the problem fixed. Feeding us lies and mumbo jumbo and making us confuuuuuused. Stealing our time and sanity. And stealing our $$$ while we pay for a service that doesn't exist. This has been going on not for a few days, not for a week, it's been going on for MONTHS. It's completely unethical, the deceitful behaviour of this company. I'm with Three - exactly the same problems. EXACTLY. I'm angry.

Correction: I was with Three until 2 days ago. And I'm still angry. Reading all these replies, I'm angry at what they put me through. Speak with your feet people.

I say: SPEAK WITH YOUR FEET, PEOPLE!!!!

Do NOT pay any exit fees. Do NOT pay another bill. A class action has to happen.

What a load. I may as well use my old Nokia and wish I had never left Telstra. Complete an utter waste of my time with Voda. No wonder the plan is so cheap - peanuts for monkeys huh. I am going to stop paying the bills and claim that technically the contract has been terminated by them by not meeting reasonable standards. This is a case for an Unfair Contract if ever I saw it.

3 months ago my husband and I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S, however my husbands phone was DOA. I gave him my new phone so now I am left waiting for the replacement. I have contacted Vodafone I don't know how many times only to be continually disappointed. I understand that some stock is constrained and not available so I then said I would accept the HTC Desire HD, which they tld me had been sent and to wait 5 - 7 working days (I was told this on two separate occasions). At one point they said they were sending me an iPhone and I almost had a coronary! This is all on top of appalling service and my line constantly dropping out, oh and my phone just not ringing at all. This has become such a ridiculous situation and to be honest I would rather poke my eyes out with a fork than speak to Vodafone again. In summary, Vodafail sucks balls and I despise them.

Vodafone knows exactly what the problem is. It requires some money to fix. Not an option for them. Just keep signing up new people and don't worry about the drop outs. People will ring and try again. By the time people find, out we'll make lots of money and tell them that we are looking into the problem. The ACCC should really start to punish companies like Vodafone.

For over one and a half months, I have had many problems with Vodafone related to this topic of crap reception and in return, our phones use more battery to pick a signal, therefore worse battery life. My iPhone 3GS constantly says No Service yet with OPTUS, i got full bars. On the 16th of December, I decided to move my entire family to OPTUS and leave vodafone after all this crap. Its such a joke - why arent they called AT&T? I had five phones on the $99 Timeless and they have just lofe $500/month of customer. It took to long to resolve and what made me move also was the CRAP and horrible customer service who in a positive way, give you the flick!

Try going interstate to small towns and see the "SOS" or "Searching for Network" note on your phone, with no signal for an hour or so until you reach a major town. Moreover, in my opinion, the oursourcing of call centre operations to India has been a big failure!!!!!!!! These guys are not organised, have the wrong reasons for all our questions, and don't even understand simple solutions of "switching browsers" to ensure that the International Roaming Data Bundle is used correctly. After about ten calls, one technical guy finally solved it. I had to write to the PR team to get a callback from their customer resolutions team.
The problem with Vodafail is that their outsourcing the call centre operations has been a disaster, because those guys are not trained to offer solutions!
Get your act right and stop making a fool out of your customers!

Messages coming through from calls 12-18hrs late, but the phone was on in the first instance showing reception! Data transfer rates are appauling, dropped calls etc.... At the end of the day you pay for a service that is simply not being provided. Over 1 hour spent on customer/technical service, 40 minutes of which you are kept on hold for the next person to ask you exactly the same thing! Then advised it will be escalated with a response expected in 'about' 6 days. Completely unacceptable.

Thank goodness. I thought I give Voda a fair go when I switch my wireless broadband over to Voda instead of the BIG 2. My mobile and wireless broadband is definitely up to scratch and akin to 3rd World service.
I share the same frustration of being put on hold and passed around different consultant. Maybe it's a way of stopping you complaining. The 'overseas' support are friendly enough but that's about it. I speak to them more in the last 6 months as I care to. LARA is a joke.
Now I have learned my lesson and may have to conceit to the BIG 2 when my contract expires.

Latest of a long string of complaints - Vodafone has taken 2 weeks to find out that it will take them at least another 2 weeks to fix my account website login problem - a total of 4 weeks+ just to fix a login problem!!!

It looks like ALL customer support people are Indian who often don't understand English well enough, so that I spend more time making sure they understand the problem. This time is in addition to the time getting past the stupid LARA IVR system.

But the good news is that they do have a new callback service which does seem to be working - no more hanging on for 40 minutes.

after years of Telstra bashing i think i am finally going to have to eat my hat. Even Telstra's service is better than Vodafones, and their network is far superior. I foolishly took on the business plan with vodafone because it was so much cheaper and had a massive handset rebate...seems you get what you pay for. With the number of call drop outs i am sure it has cost my business more in lost business than the money i saved by going with Vodaphone. I never thought i'd do it, but i have to get in bed with the devil and change to Telstra...at least my business can operate then.

Every call drops out after 5 minutes. Often the reception just goes to no service. Have to use 2G setting on the iphone (as recommended by Vodaphone support) as when on 3G data doesn't work properly, emails and voicemails come through up to a day late, calls go straight to voicemail without the phone ringing and then the voicemail doesn't get to the phone for 24 hours meaning i miss appointments, data is painfully slow...anything else? basically at vodafone supports own admisson 3g doesn't work properly and their advice is not to use it...sounds like vodafone is spruiking a product they know doesn't work...illegal?

I bought an HTC Desire HD 2 months ago. I live in Manly & commute to Chatswood daily. For half of the way I got no to very little reception, and for the other half it is very random. 1km away from Chatswood CBD (on boundary road) I usually have no reception at all, hard to believe.

Yesterday, from Manly to St Leonards I had no data at all, only as we reached St Leonards it suddenly started to work (and I rebooted the phone a couple of time just to be safe).

So yeah, absolutely not impressed, it's a disgraceful service and a total ripoff.

Lets start with the delivery of my new iPhone, advised of a 3wk wait 5weeks later called waited on hold for 45mins. My phone had not been ordered fast foward 4wks phone finally arrives 9wks in total.

My wireless net is on average poor service or no service i live in the heart of the northern beaches my girlfriend with optus always has 3g coverage? My broadband is also hit & miss if it will connect to a usable server.

Vodafone also had a system issue in early feb in which my bill wasnt debited from my acc. I called & was advised it was paid, i advise it hadnt been debited so i dont know how it was paid. In June i recived a letter advising of the system issue & that my account would be debited to correct the bill, I rang voda to find out the total of the bill & was advised the letter was incorrect & I was upto date. July voda try to debit the "owing amount" on my account & it is dishonoured, I call voda & am advise i havnt paid my bill since feb when they direct debit my acc? I advise of the previous calls, I was told I was lying & that i need to pay the bill.
