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

14379 Someone from SA thinks vodafone is Maps Are Wrong! at 24 Jan 2011 07:26:31 AM
Vodafone's coverage is not as advertised. Don't believe their coverage maps. If you have an Android phone on Vodafone, please download and use Sensorly to contribute to the real maps, which you can see here:

24 Jan 2011 08:03:19 AM: Just a reminder that Vodafail is also collecting coverage and indeed users can interrogate Vodafail's mapping service, check out the Your Coverage tab at the top of the page.
25 Jan 2011 12:41:20 PM: Seems fraudulent to me. I think "deceptive and misleading" informaton or advertisng is something the ACCC would be very interested in, if it was doing it's tax-payer funded job.
1 Feb 2011 07:30:32 AM: Sorry but Vodafail's coverage map is subjective, based on individual perceptions, and will be biased (how many people are going to select 0% coverage just because they're annoyed?). I think it would be much better for Vodafail to promote an unbiased mapping application such as Sensorly or similar that will record coverage in all areas, good or bad.
