sold me a lemon
Sorry i never write these types of things but here goes after getting on my plan for a google pixel 3A through vodaphone the first 6 months not a hitch then my phone refuses to charge. Took it up too the vodaphone shop in bondi junction where he sent me to the city george st to be exact..waitied for the guy who was supposed to be a technician who told me the port was broken and it would cost me $500 to fix. I didnt trust the guy and asked them where i could see there policies on warrenties etc etc. Nothing on failures of the charging ports. Nex...Read more
t i went to the google official guy in castlereigh st who fixed it for $200 telling me it wasnt anything i had done it was a simple case of wear and tear and not a very good phone..He was very helpful and really tried to help me. Fast forward 5 months and whilst charging my phone it starts vibrating uncontrolably and stop working. Once again i take it to George st where this so called technician tells me without even opening it it will be $800 but maybe i should just buy out my plan for 12 months and upgrade..surely its under warrenty but no the terms he cant show me proof for again say no hardware no ports nothing like that we cover for..take it back to old mate who helped me last time who opens it up and says the motherboard is fried and your phone is dead....now im stuck on a plan with no working phone through no fault of my own...bad products bad customer service bad everything. the guy at the google reair place was the only decent human being in the whole senario..Similar opinion?

Useless customer service
I am trying to activate my esim on my new phone but when I scan the QR code I didn't get the confirmation code. I rang up Vodafone and had to explain it to 6 different people as they couldn't understand the issue. This took over an hour!!

Worst Insurance Vodafone Is Partnered With!!!!!
The worst insurance company ever! Infact the worst company ever!! My phone was stolen and we have reported to the police, provided them with the case number but their pathetic customer service people made us feel like we were the thief!! First they declined the claim, spoke to my partner very unprofessionally and then when i opened a second dispute, they accepted the claim but made us feel like they are doing a charity towards us! I have been paying for this service and a company makes their customer feel that way! Next milestone was getting th...Read more
em to dispatch the phone. They say 5-10 working days but dispatched my phone on the 11th day which would be fine if customer service people spoke with some level of compassion or empathy. They have been unbeliveably rude and ignorant. People take insurance to cover their loss but mostly to eliminate inconvenience but this company has no understanding of customer inconvenience. When you are paying them monthly, that would be your sweetest time with them.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Just as bad as telstra
Don't understand why I'm getting messages 2 days late and some aren't even getting through. If this is not sorted I'll be going else where

They alter your call records
Definitely 0.They issue bills with incorrect call/sms history. Keep track and see for yourself. Stay away, although the other providers probably aren't much better.

Mobile coverage far worse than Telstra
Planning on switching my mobile phone service back to Telstra as the mobile coverage is pretty poor. Lots of areas with no coverage. SOS only.
The broadband though is very fast

Patchy service at times, but good customer service makes all the difference
A telco with good customer service? I didn't think it was possible, but as a smartphone enthusiast and someone who (mostly) knows what they're doing, Vodafone staff have been excellent. Every person I've spoken to is really nice and knows what they're doing, and very transparent with the customer. You can even still call Vodafone instead of chat, and get through to an awesome member of staff with little wait time.
However, make sure the value proposition is good for your needs - Vodafone's 5G rollout has been very slow so far, and pricing of p...Read more
lans is the same as Optus, which, for the most part, has better reception in more places and a larger 5G network. I haven't had any billing issues yet unlike Telstra, and unlike both Optus and Telstra you'll get the same (usually correct!) answer from any staff member. I really hope the merger with TPG doesn't erode all the good things Vodafone has worked on up to this point.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Absolutely useless call centre. Can't actually make any changes to account without going into the building
I called up today (on my registered Vodafone number) to enquire about upgrading my phone plan. I don't know my personal pin that was set more than 2 years ago. So, I had to verify my identity, I then proceeded to verify it but it was declined as they have my old address on file. I explained this then they wouldn't let me try and verify again.
I had two options use there online verification tool that takes two days or head into a busy supermarket to risk COVID.
I then tried the online verification tool only to have a text back saying my verifi...Read more

I would give it 0 stars if it were an option
They overcharge for mobile plans. They gave me a mobile plans on higher than market price and they added loyalty discount on top of it to make it the same price as the market price. The only problem is that they expected me to pay the overcharged market price (excluding the loyalty discount) when I approached them to buy off my device. It would have been much cheaper if I would have purchased my phone from JB Hi-Fi or any other retailers for full price or even on a monthly plan. Never getting a phone from Vodafone again.

The most horrific service I have ever encountered. Also experienced dishonesty.
Ordered a new phone on plan 21/12/20 - Was advised 2 day delivery. This was perfect for me as I was travelling a week later.
Still have not received any communication, apart from original email stating order received
I called Vodafone 30/12/20 to ask what was happening. The guy on the phone said that it should not take that long. I asked him to cancel my order as I can't wait as I will be travelling next day. I decided to use my old phone with a prepaid sim.
He told me he would cancel that and I would receive and email within 24 hrs.
Today is...Read more

Poor service! Fraudulent account details!
Have requested on multiple occasions for my billing and tax invoice details to be corrected as their sales staff incorrectly set up the account. 3 months on and Vodafone claim they are unable to issue me with the correct account details on my tax invoice as apparently their system is unable to process this. So, for the last 3 months I am being invoiced with the incorrect details. Is this not fraudulent? Would think so.

Disinterested to help customers
Went to Vodafone in Booragoon at 10AM today (16th December,2020) to ask regarding about trading in my previous phone. He was so disinterested in giving us any actual help and instead kept insisting that we could earn more if we sell the phone privately. I am aware of that but I would have still wanted to go through with the process but he seems annoyed I was there. I left extremely disappointed and does not even ask if I still want to go through with it. F*ck you to that person. You ruined my day and wasted my time.

Terrible customer service.
Appalling and useless customer service. Absolutely zero effort, will or interest in resolving customer issues. Will never use Vodafone again.

Happy customer
I actually love Vodafone... ok so I don’t always get reception if I’m underground or in a huge multi story building but I love the quick online customer service... every single interaction iv had with Vodafone staff is amazing and they are so helpful... iv been Vodafone for about 15 years and never had a problem they couldn’t solve and always so friendly...I have recently changed to a plan with lots of data for a very cheep rate...
iv even been given little gifts and tokens for being a longtime customer.

Not fulfilling commitments
I called three days back to change my billing cycle from 7th of every month to 5th, they confirmed me while on the call that it has been changed and I now my account shows that I will receive my bill on 87th Dec, such an unprofessional attitude they have

horrible servce when it comes to deliveries
my iphone 12 mini was delievred to my house, and left in the hot sun for hours. No signature was requested.
Just simply dumped on my door step in the hot sun.Further more there was no bubble wrap to protect the phone from the rough handling it received during transit. Im sure my phone was damaged in some way or another. Really unhappy with aust post

Worst con artist, deceit and lies you can imagine
The worst form of deceit and lies ever. Even escalating the problem does not help. They seem to think they are exempt from the law. I spent hours on the phone where they make empty promises for delivering phones, adding wrong amounts to bill, wrong delivery address ( very questionable)l, etc. This is biggest scam group and the operators are trained to lie and mislead the customers and they are extremely skilled in it. Even the managers pretend to be helping when all they are doing is taking the lies a notch further. We are utterly disgraced and deeply disappointed in this terrible company. Media should investigate what is going on. Still waiting for a phone more than a month later and another A few weeks late.

Shocking slow 4G
I just checked my Vodaphone 4G using Internet speed test with Server at Sydney -- and I was totally shock of the result: 0.12Mbps download and 1.4Mbps upload.
Is that the speed of a 4G network that they provide for their client? Shocking.

Each time I go to activate my SIM card each form of identity is not valid. Is it because I am supposedly underaged, which shouldn't be the case since I am an adult.
