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

12866 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is poor customer service and overcharging of a non-existant service at 17 Jan 2011 06:31:48 PM
i am constantly having to call vodafone relating to billing issues of being overcharged and paying for a non existent broadband service. i have raised these issues on a constant basis yet i still have not received word from a tech support person as i was promised. that was three weeks ago and counting. I am currently on hold trying to speak to a representative and i think it is going to longer than the three weeks i have been waiting for the callback. just putting it out there, i have been on hold for 3 hours and 40 min. this truly is a joke and the government is to blame for how corporations treat the general public. coming from Canada people have a fair say in how they are treated by corporations who just don't give a damn, but in all honesty this is my opinion Aussies are just to lazy to get off their laurels and complain. they piss and moan, yet they do nothing about it. if it wasn't for your site the majority of these people wouldn't do a darn thing. don't mean to offend anyone. the truth must be told and that is the reason the reason for poor customer service across the board with a wide variety of services through out private and government. "why complain, she'll be 'right" attitude, allow corporations to have their with you as does the government, but that is a different story.
17 Jan 2011 10:44:35 PM: They do not have a billing department, they only have a "con" section. Every month, they simply con customers like they con you and me. They are betting you will not call because they make it virtually impossible for you to complain, foreign call centre who do not understand or able to make any decisions, putting people on the line for hours on end, these are well known con tactics to slowly suck the life out of you so you give up and just pay up.
This is a very devious company we are dealing with, not surprise if indeed they turn out to be the demon in the book of revelations in the Bible.
18 Jan 2011 09:46:43 AM: Don't know about the Bible part, but I agree with you they are devious. For example not crediting payments made for excess usage when moving from paper to web billing. Removing ~2G from usage figures the day before new billing cycle, so that you think you have plenty of usage left if you check, THEN ADDING THIS BACK THE NEXT DAY. Very dishonest.
