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

7823 Someone from NSW thinks vodafone is HUGE at 28 Dec 2010 09:47:32 PM
im sick of the indian call centers to be fair. Cant we just move the call centers to Harris Park next to parramatta?
28 Dec 2010 10:07:13 PM: Yeah I'm also sick of this. I always loved that Voda kept those jobs locally and staff were so friendly. Plus calls were generally answered in minutes. Now you're lucky to be answer within an hour at The Indian call centers plus staff are not friendly and place blame on the customer. Don't see the point of cost cutting when it damages your brand and reputation so much?

30 Dec 2010 05:27:48 PM: Racist?
30 Dec 2010 07:02:45 PM: No Realist.... wake up its about the phone provider not your little ego....
30 Dec 2010 07:08:01 PM: I am being the realist, you on the other hand are being a bigoted racist. Move on you bogan.

2 Jan 2011 02:14:21 AM: It's true, not racist at all - ask anyone my family - we have exchange students from everywhere come and live with us! I'm far from racist and i can honestly say it makes it difficult when you call up to complain and find it difficult to understand what the other person is saying .... it makes you more frustrated!!!
2 Jan 2011 05:54:17 AM: So hes a bigoted racist?Why? because he preferred prompt and friendly service?
15 Jan 2011 11:43:24 PM: The people in the call centre are doing a physically clean job, and they would be doing exactly what they're told by their managers to do. If that includes being obstuctive, or dropping calls out, and this seems to be a wide spread complaint, then they are being told to do it- otherwise they would have all been replaced by people who were helpful and didn't drop calls out and generally stuff up.It never hurts to politely ask them to speak more slowly, and, if necessary, you ask if you are speaking to quickly for them.Easy to do when angry.
I despise the senior executives of Vodafone, and don't envy anybody in India desperate to hang on to a job. And I think they are the poorer Indians, because some call centres have staff whose English is much less accented.
