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

1371 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is at 21 Dec 2010 05:30:38 PM
Vodafail t shirts? Vodafail fail. Lost all credibility.
21 Dec 2010 05:32:38 PM: true
21 Dec 2010 05:39:02 PM: Screams someone looking to make a quick buck rather then productivly complain about a service.
21 Dec 2010 05:48:00 PM: Unlike VodaFarkew making a quick buck and delivering next to nothing? Even if it was someone trying to make a quick buck, think what 10,000 people walking around in that tee shirt might achieve. I liked "V for Vendetta"
21 Dec 2010 05:50:23 PM: One of the posts requested shirts so we made them. If it covers the cost of our hosting then I'll be happy :) There's no way it would ever cover the cost of my time spent on hold for vodafone.
21 Dec 2010 05:54:20 PM: It's funny you guys seem to think Vodafone is the only company in the world with long wait times on hold. It's pretty much a staple across the board with ISP's and Telco's.
21 Dec 2010 06:08:39 PM: As if this is just about wait times. Non my experience so far with Virgin, or Adam Internet
21 Dec 2010 09:25:57 PM: I think the T shirts are really cool!!!

I suppose Vodafone has never made a quick buck??? Get real!!!
21 Dec 2010 09:50:03 PM: what credibility does the website owner need to maintain exactly? he/she has given people the opportunity to vent and feel a sense of community over frustrating experiences - if they do make a quick buck from it, then good on them! this site wasn't set up to solve everyone's problems, but the publicity has gotten the notice of vodafone and the authorities, so I'd say there's been progress made, shirt or no shirt.

and to 7:54pm comment: I think pplz here are hoping other telcos are better, and even if vodafone isnt the only company with such wait times, it doesnt make it OK
23 Dec 2010 03:25:16 PM: If you want one and don't want to make vodafail money. You can jump on cafepress.com.au and make your own yourself!! Cut out the middle man! ;)
27 Dec 2010 02:21:02 PM: At least the service for the tshirt will be better...
