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

19644 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Massive Fail at 10 Oct 2011 10:06:50 PM
Following a handset upgrade in August I was forceably transferred from the 3 network (where I was quite happy with the network coverage) to the Vodafone network & that's where the problems began.
Dropped calls (which I'd never experienced before ) and black holes in data coverage, were the main complaints along with being unable to connect anytime I went into a crowded area (such as a football game).
Anyway, after 2 verbal & 4 written complaints to Vodafail where they didn't want to know about it & only at the end did they even offer a 50% discount for 3 months off my plan (big deal) I took the matter up with the TIO (thanks to the advice from this website!).
Thankfully adding the written complaints in left Vodafail with little to stand on, they initially offered 50% off for 3 months then release if I still wasn't happy, but one more push had them releasing me immiedately.
Quite the mess, but in the end it's worked out & I have the advice on this site to thank for it because I went about it the right way. Suggest if ur in the same boat, you do likewise.
