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

droped calls, no network coverage, poor battery life on the HTC Desire HD, poor customer service
Just so you know, I find that the battery life on phones running Android always get raped straight out of the box - and it has a lot to do with apps starting up/running in the background.
You should download an app killer (like "Advanced Task Killer") and set it to kill all unecessary apps at whatever intervals or frequency you wish - I set mine to kill pretty much everything whenever my screen is off and life is now good.
Now hit the 'menu' button on your phone and some options should appear. One of the options will be "Settings" so select that. This will open up the Settings menu which includes a bunch of options under different headings. Scroll down to the heading "Auto Kill" and choose a level and the frequency. I have my level set to "Safe" and the frequency set to "When screen off".
Also if you place the Task Killer widget on your home screen, selecting the widget will manually kill the apps you specified as well.
And nowadays with smartphones being able to do so much, it's always worth Googling reviews for the phone model you're considering getting to see how the battery-life fairs under "normal" as well as intensive use.
