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

12631 Someone from WA thinks vodafone is Open your eyes at 14 Jan 2011 02:09:18 PM
People have to realise that all netwoks have this problem at different times as I have been with pretty much every one of them. Within the last year or 2 the Telstra service was down for over 48 hours which no one seems to remember and it has been a long standing agreement within consumers that telstras deplorable customer service takes the cake.

It's all well and good to complain to these telco giants but all consumers must bear in mind the cost of VF hiring more staff to handle this, the cost of law suits and the cost of all this bad PR will only be handed back to consumers. You can be sure that if the outcome
of all this is that VF/3 mobile goes under that it's 2 main competitors: telstra and optus will increase their prices dramatically.. Simple business 101 people..
14 Jan 2011 02:44:06 PM: The example you give is only 48 hours. People have been posting their issues here since Vodafail opened. People have had issues with Vodafone for ages, Whirlpool forums has volumes of discussion about this dating back to even 2 years. It's been a few months and the issue keep piling. Nothing has changed. Thats the difference between Telstra and Vodafone. Telstra actually gets the job done in days. For Vodafone its been months and still going. Seriously. As for prices, I don't think Telstra or Optus would raise their prices, since they are already taking advantage of Vodafail and having the time of their life gaing market share.
14 Jan 2011 02:47:10 PM: Our eyes are open. However, Vodafone's eyes has been shut ever since.
14 Jan 2011 04:17:41 PM: 48 hours wow! try having no service for like 6 months, welcome to vodafone
14 Jan 2011 10:19:09 PM: Vodafone have shitloads of money that is why this problem exists, the tightarses havent spent appropriately on upgrading the infrastructure, they will wether this storm, it is hurting them, they have got egg on their faces, but they have got more than enough to ride this out.
