Vodafone complaints submitted through Ajust
I submitted my Vodafone cancellation in June but never got confirmation. Weeks later, I still had no idea if my service was cancelled. The silence made me nervous about extra charges and left me chasing clarity on something that should’ve been simple. - Cong
I cancelled my Vodafone account back in January, yet months later I was shocked to receive a bill-and even more stunned when it got sent to debt collectors. It was a stressful spiral for something I thought was already sorted. - Ravi
Vodafone kept billing me for an account I closed over a year ago. I tried to reach them multiple times and was told the account didn’t even exist-yet the bills kept coming. I felt totally stuck, unable to resolve something that wasn’t my fault. - Joseph
Despite cancelling my Vodafone account in March, I kept getting billed. I contacted them three times, and each time I was told it was fixed. It never was. I’m exhausted just trying to get someone to properly close the account. - Alister

Vodafone Contact FAQs
How do I get help fast from Vodafone Australia customer service?
The fastest way to get support from Vodafone Australia is through their 24/7 live chat or the My Vodafone app. These channels offer quicker access than calling or visiting in-store. If you prefer speaking to someone, phone support is available any time, and store staff are helpful for in-person issues. Always have your account details ready to speed things up and avoid delays.
What are the most common Vodafone complaints, and can they be resolved?
Common Vodafone issues include billing errors, network dropouts, and long support wait times-but most can be resolved. Use the My Vodafone app or live chat to dispute bills or track outages, and escalate if you hit dead ends. Vodafone also has a 30-day Network Guarantee, which helps new customers cancel if coverage doesn’t meet expectations.
Can I cancel my Vodafone plan or return my phone without penalties?
Yes, but conditions apply depending on your plan. Month-to-month Vodafone plans can be cancelled anytime, while contract cancellations may incur exit fees. New customers can cancel within 30 days for a full refund if network coverage is unsatisfactory. Make sure you return any devices in good condition if cancelling under this guarantee.
What should I do if Vodafone support isn’t solving my problem?
If Vodafone support isn’t delivering results, escalate through formal complaint forms or contact the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman. Before that, retry live chat or phone support with clear issue details. Many consumers get faster resolutions when they persist-Ajust can also help push cases forward with expert-backed guidance and direct advocacy.
