Moved to Vodafone from Telstra, one week later
I wanted to move to Vodafone because the roaming offered is more attractive than the one Telstra offers. However I was very hesitant because historically everyone says Vodafone has the least coverage…
Finally I have made the move….
Network is better than my work Optus SIM. I travel from NSW southern highlands to the shire and Blue Mountain weekly and I have reception everywhere I go and more 5G access than my Optus SIM. Areas where Telstra was a black spot, I now have reception also. Sure the 5G reception is more limited than Telstra but that...
Read more doesn’t bother me. The customer service I received is 10 times better than Telstra. They answer the phone within seconds, they respond to live chat immediately and the wait at the Vodafone shop is minimal, if any. Honestly I am so surprised to see all these negative reviews. But this is typical of many telecom providers, people only leave reviews when they are not happy. With half of these reviews generally due to user errors or lack of understanding. If you are hesitant to move from Telstra because they supposedly better, hesitate no more!
Quick and Friendly customer service
I wanted to change my package and get some information about my bills. Sanjana and Sadhir were so helpful. They were very friendly meantime quick and Efficient. The recommended package was affordable as well.

Great Referral from friend
Read my review for Boost internet entitled no no no no NO to understand that Vodafone at Seaford S.A. is where i went to get a great deal, awesome service from friendly knowledgeable staff and on my way with all the internet data i will ever need within 10 minutes, if only I'd come here first.
Thanks Again to the guy and girl who sorted all my woes out.
Issues sorted by Resolutions Team
I don't give 5-star reviews when I experience issues, but this has been so successfully resolved that it deserves sharing (long post).
1st issue: my preordered Samsung phone was damaged during transit and didn't reach delivery address. Latest update was that it"s being returned to sender, but took weeks without further update.
2nd issue: I asked Vodafone if there are steps I could take to lower the bill for several mobiles+nbn bundle to soften the additional cost of new phone. They downgraded our plans, but lost the discounts so total end...
Read moreed up even higher for less data. My initial call to Customer Service didn't produce results which frustrated me, nor did my visit to a couple of Vodafone shops as they said they couldn't do anything from their end. But I was referred to Vodafone Retentions & Vodafone Resolutions and I had the pleasure of speaking with Baishakhi. She's impressive - very knowledgeable with their products, explained extensively my options and found solutions for above issues. She said she'll call again for updates and followed through on her promise. I received my new phone 3 days after we finalised the order for replacement phone (and 2 of those days were the weekend!). She sorted my plans and gave an even better deal. I know I'm only 1 customer and 1st issue isn't really Vodafone's fault, but I was almost ready to take my bundle elsewhere from being frustrated but she turned me around! Hope she gets credit and hope other clients have the opportunity to sort out their issues with someone like her.

Excellent customer service
My wife and I bought new phones and decided to stay with Vodafone. I'm glad we did as the help we received was unexpected. To get the help we needed on a Saturday, outstanding. Instant response from both messenger and phone help. Our new phones were up and running fast.
I couldn't be happier with the help we received.

Excellent value mobile plan: 12 months for $150 (from OfficeWorks)
Was on a Telstra $55 a month post-paid for long time. 40GB data and unlimited calls, and according to Telstra the “best option for me”, and also the cheapest option they have available at the moment.
Because I use mostly WiFi, I average about 5GB mobile data a month and I always felt was paying too much but was too lazy to do anything about it. My main concern with switching to a smaller data plan was that “what if I go over” when on holidays or travelling. Sometimes I use 20~30GB a month during summer. And Telstra had no smaller plan availabl...
Read moree. I did ask them about switching to a pre-paid SIM but it was all too hard and the offers weren’t that cheap either. Eventually decided to shop around and ended getting Vodafone 200GB pre-paid SIM with 12 months expiry for $150. Normally $200 but OfficeWorks was selling it for $150 as promo. For me it’s the best of both worlds. At average usage of 5GB a month it should last me the full 12 months. And if I end up binging on holidays there’s no risk going over my monthly allowance. Activation was smooth and took about 1/2h to switch. So from $660 a year I’m now paying $150 a year for my mobile without having to worry about paying monthly bills or getting hit with fees. Vodafone coverage is probably not as comprehensive as Telstra but where I typically need data it has been more than adequate and at least par with Telstra. In fact when commuting from & to work I was getting average 20 Mbps with Telstra and I’m now getting up to 170 Mpbs

Great customer service and plan prices
Vodafone has been great over the past few years I have been with them, I always receive fast and super friendly customer service when needed and always resolved very quickly. My plan is a very good rate and they do like to retain customers and reward loyalty, there’s some areas around sydney with basic reception and sometimes the network does go down for maintenance. I highly recommend vodafone if you’re mainly looking for an affordable plan. My partner is with Telstra so he can hotspot if we travel to areas with no service but Vodafone gives me the day to day use I need at such a great price.

This was originally a bad review, but the actually made changes from feedback
I was frustrated with their communications regarding bill payments, but they’ve seem to have made big improvements in that regard since.
Their in store service is excellent from my experiences and value for money is very good.
I would recommend Vodafone Australia.

After moving internet and mobile services from Telstra I am so impressed with how kind each person is that I've spoken to over the phone. It has been a seamless transition! Telstra don't even allow you to call up anymore on the phone... I highly recommend vodafone! Great service :)

Happy with the service
Happy with the service. Only a few black spots that happen with all networks. I choose to stay with Vodafone because of the $5 overseas roaming. Hopefully we will be able to again soon
Questions & Answers
What’s your experience of using Vodafone in Western Australia when travelling
I have no issues with Vodafone Aust, good customer service and my home internet is great been 3 months a couple issues were sorted out very quickly by friendly staff. **** 4 stars
I have been a customer of Vodafone for a few years with both my mobile phone & NBN because I was assured that they were adding towers themselves so as coverage would improve (which it did). Recently the reception on my mobile has now deteriorated markedly along with my NBN connection... After contacting Vodafone on many occasions with no result I am now looking at an alternative NBN connection and ditching Vodafone NBN .Unfortunately, I am still locked into a mobile deal for the next 18months but as soon as I can opt out I shall be doing so.. So disappointed that I have been lied to by Vodafone as I should probably report them to the authorities but that doesn't make the reception any better..
