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

6512 Someone from VIC thinks vodafone is at 28 Dec 2010 12:35:28 PM
I recently upgraded in October to new plans with VHA after being told that they could beat the offer i had with Optus. One week after getting the phones i started getting 'failed network connection' whilst trying to get online with my new android. Over the next 2 months i missed calls, would not get voicemail messages for a week and even had my internet on the phone disconnected by VHA. I called and was told that the issue was with my phone and that nothing could be done. I had to call back to be told that my internet connection was cancelled by my own phone WHAT THE!!! The worst was i missed a call from my bank that caused major issues with my realestate, landlord and the poor girl at the bank who did leave a message that i did not get for a week. Did i get an apology by VHA? No what i got was not our fault. In the end i had to make a TIO complaint. The first offer was yes you do have a congestion issue in your area of Point Cook and we can see you have had drooped call. What we can offer is for you to move over from Three to Vodafone. When i refused this offer did they advise that i could go to any carrier i wanted just send back the phones. This i have gladly done. It did take an hour long phone call to get my account number so i could port. Really... customer service do not have all my details when i first call. The appalling service and a company going to market with plans that do nothing but cause congestion needs to be taken to task. Thank you for this website, i just wish i new about it 4 weeks ago.
