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

2146 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is Rubbish!!!! at 27 Dec 2010 11:52:43 AM
Had a 2 year contract mobile internet card for my laptop, the only place the thing ever semi-worked was at home!!! Constant dropouts and worse than dial-up speeds when it did actually connect. Customer service (which was obviously not in Australia) was pathetic, couldn't answer basic questions & they just transfer you or "accidentally" hang up on you!! (pretty much the same across all the phone companies though! When will these companies realise that cheaper is not always better when it comes to call centres! A nightmare trying to get a simple thing done to any service! You end up calling 5 times anyway!)
More importantly, coverage was useless! Was away a couple of times with friends with 4 other laptops and mobile internet & they all worked no problem with fast broadband speeds, I was sitting there still trying to connect!! Ended up using a local wifi hotspot instead (& still paid for Vodafone's rubbish !) Gone to Telstra now, costs a bit more & the customer service is just as bad (if not worse!) but at least the thing works!!
