“this has to be the worst company i have ever dealt with. i have been a customer since they launched the trial of gigafast and was/is 1 of the first ever trialists. there was a few problems to strat with but now problems most months being cut off for no reason or system goes down or over billing. and now the fibre to my home is down again so far i am comming to the 3rd day on no internet at all. i was told they done a system update a week ago and any that loses connection WILL NOT GET IT BACK as there not sure how to repair this yet so no eta on it working again. (i have picture and phone call proof of this) when you do call them you have to wait atleast 45 mins for some1 to answer (usually the wrong person then on hold again) but im waiting upto 2 hrs at a time. my lights are run by alexa so cant turn them ones on at all. i have a 1000 meg line up and a 1000 meg line download and now running off my phones hotspot signal lmao. vodafone run as a 3rd rate company and i would like to say i aim to go to the press with this very shortly as enough is enough. also city fibre who supply there fibre to the home have been spoken to and they assured me and vodafone everything is ok there end and vodafone have also said it is all vodafones fault. please avoid this company at all costs. i will also be going to the local council as they are part venture in this with city fibre and vodafone.”

“I received a sales call in the week from vodafone asking whether I wanted to add the landline and broadband to my mobile package. When the salesman was going through my mobile account with me, we realised that I had been charged £20 per month from March for a bolt on for Broadband that I had requested as a once off- and yet Vodafone had continued to charge me £20 for the bolt on as an additional monthly charge. He told me that to get the money refunded since I had not requested an ongoing bolt on, then I should ring customer services. Which I did today- Well after being on the phone with a representative for over 35 minutes all she managed to do was cancel the bolt an and offer me a compensation of £30 in credit- despite the fact that I had been charged almost £100 for a bolt on, that I had not requested. She tried to insinuate that it was actually my fault that it had been ongoing because I should have checked my bill! I have been with vodafone for over 20 years and to receive this kind of unhelpful and unapologetic treatment from them is entirely unacceptable. I have now cancelled my broadband and my landline and as soon as the contract for my mobile expires, I will cancel and take my business elsewhere. I cannot believe that they have not seen fit to reimburse me in full when the error was theirs and they can clearly see from my usage that the bolt on was only purchased at a time that my landline/ home broadband was not working, and waiting for BT to repair it which was in fact less than one month. The fact that they continued to charge me £20 per month after that and will now not refund me is disgusting and entirely unacceptable and reeks of daylight robbery!”

“Every month Vodafone fails to take our money via direct debit and then suspends our broadband. We have given them the correct details over and over again. Every time they insist they have the correct details and then proceed to use a different number. WHAT MORE CAN WE DO TO ENSURE THAT YOU TAKE OUR MONEY?”

“Absolute joke. They will take every penny they can of you. I've had a sim only contract for years, been on the last price plan for nearly 2. All of a sudden, it doubled in price. £40 for 18 gig data and unlimited minutes and texts. You can get a really nice phone paying this price monthly. Vodafone claimed in the small print of my contract it says there is discount applied. Cancelled my contract with them to find out I have to pay for another 30 days. Absolutely disgusted. £120 for 2 months of 18G, unlimited texts and minutes and to cancel.”

“AVOID! MISLEADING INFORMATION & VERY POOR SERVICE! Vodafone for home broadband and have to say the service they offer is awful. Paying for Superfast 2, the provided service is not even Superfast 1”

“this is by far the worst customer service i have ever come across, i had a dongal sim only for £15 a month the dongal is very rarely used but i received a bill for £145 when i queered it i was told that i used over my allowance and was charged £6.50 per gig never explained when i took this contract out, so i asked if i could spread the payment they said i could over 6 months but with no data service i waited nearly 2 hours to sort this out finally manage to speak to the most rude obnoxious patronizing person called Erin who insulted me and talked over me whilst trying to speak i decided to pay for the bill on my credit card and cancel my contract i was told i had a £112 cancellation charge i gladly paid that as well just to get free of this company by far the worst company anyone could have the misfortune to deal with Be warned”

“After many years with Vodafone, saying I was a first class customer and yet for the past 12 months I had been unable to get into my account to question extras charges. So much so I had to request an email for a detailed account for me check on my bill. Spending many many hours on chat line over a period of many months they were still unable to give me access to my account. On one occasion when they were trying to set up a new account they miss spelt my name locking it up. Going into the local Vodafone shop although my account was on line the staff spent 45 minutes trying to sort it out to no avail and then suggested I went back on line. After numerous recorded letters to them and receiving numerous text letters from them with promises my account would be closed so I could open as new, each time this failed even after quoting the special number I had been given, they had no record of it. Three months previously I had renewed my contract, no copy of contract was received. Having previously a kept all my texts over several mouths months, I told them if after ten days they had not sorted my account, I would leave. On July 1st my new mobile supplier rang on my behalf to ask for a pac number, she immediately past the phone to me and I was asked for my pin number, which I told them I did not have. After security checks I was told that as I had broken my contract I would have to pay balance. Knowing these calls are recorded I emphasized they had broken the contract by not giving me access to my account. The same thing was said again and I repeated they had broken the contract not me and I would not be paying. As the speaker phone was on the staff with me could hear everything along with customers waiting. Both them and a customer said what a lousy customer service and how rude they were. Changing over I sent a payment for the month of July in good faith only then to get a bill for over a hundred pounds. Taking it to arbitration with copies of letters and texts. Vodafone stated I asked for a final price to leave them, my reply was that was a total lie as I had emphasized twice on that day, they had broken the contract not me. My above statement would obviously be on record they could not produce anything else. With regard to my appeal, it appears that the requirement to be able to see my account is not part of the contract. even if it had been it did not justify a reason for leaving early. Who would deal with such a company when you can not see your bill detail before paying. I lost my case, but was was awarded damages on the grounds of 13 mouths of stress and very poor customer service. This amounts to nearly as much as they demanded with threats of court action and bailiffs. So they will pay themselves to clear my account. They have been also instructed to give me a written apology for the horrendous customer service and stress they have given me. I now get the best service from a competitor at a cheaper price thank you Vodafone I should have moved earlier.”

“Sent to a closed store for a warranty issue, had to drive 12 miles to another store, lied to about my repair.... Mucked about over a replacement handset, given a broken temporary phone, my original phone could not be repaired so gave me a SCRATCHED secondhand phone, lied to about compensation, had my consumer rights broken and sent to deadlock, Honestly best avoided”

“The worst experience ever in Luton shop. The manager totally ignore you. Start conversation gives you a phone to call yourself customer service and gone.... no one looks after you. Spending 1,5 hr in the shop on the phone with customer service and staff ignoring you just passing phone over form one person to another. This is a joke. I have 2 mobile contracts with Vodafone and wanted to get home broadband which again service was rubbish. I've asked for a refund for engeeneer visit and no one could do it. They charged me within a second but no refund facility is available. Engeeneer visit rubbish, could not get broadband working for 4 days . Everyone lies to you and ignore you pretending they doing a job. Very disappointed with this visit, especially with manager service. Manager should be always on the floor helping staff and customers not hiding in the back office”

“I recently ordered Vodafone broadband and the customer service was awful. First , I got the router delivered to later than what the message mentioned . Second , when I called the customer service with regards to my activation of broadband , I got varied answers and not a clear explanation. Finally , after waiting on call for one hour , I get the information stating they misplaced the address and would not be able to activate the broadband for another 10 to 14 days . This has wasted my time and also delay in my work . I strongly recommend not to go for Vodafone broadband service as in future if there is any issues , the customer service won’t be of any help .”

“Vodafone have tried to scam me into upgrading my contract my threatening me that I need more data because ‘5g will be coming soon!’ - they did this after trying to force me to give up personal information about my account, saying ‘we have important information about your account, but you will need to confirm a few details before we can tell you anything’. When THEY CALLED ME. Very unprofessional. When I cancelled my phon contract to SIM only, they also continued to charge me for insurance on a phone I wasn’t even in contract for anymore. I have had countless issues with them, although I have been a loyal customer. I am leaving them at the next opportunity. Good riddance”

“A company that says sorry but essentially pays lip service and takes your money. For stress free experience with people who wish to help go somewhere else. New phone had problems from the very beginning, took it to the coda phone shop- incredibly rude - took it to Apple shop left the country next day phone still not working. Now apparently it’s not there problem. We are too far down the line!”

“Absolutely terrible! I was not informed for 2weeks that my order has been cancelled eventhough i have recieved a confirmation of a DD setup. When i called vodafone to enquire when will i recieve my router thats when i was informed that the order was cancelled by not even talking to the customer explaining what are the other options available and was suggested on the call to place another order which meant i have lost the benifits that vodafone has promised when my initial order was placed as they have now expired and had to now wait for another 4weeks for the reorder to be activated with no benifits at all. By the way the customer agents were so rude on the calls even though vodafone has a 1 Star rating on all the review websites on internet. Its absolute time waste to opt for vodafone and if you still want to go ahead with then then its your wish and only god can save you....”

“Bunch of liars work there, confirmed delivery date but phone was not sent. I was told there is technical issues even though I followed up multiple times after order was placed, I was given false information by saying it was processed and would be delivered on time. Delivery turned the next day and found out in the receipt that order was only processed around closing of delivery promised date. I think the management should learn and teach their staffs about ethics and morale. After this contract ends will never use vodafone in future. As I was promised a call back from senior manager which never happened. Worse is call centre located in india - working ethics don't match at all.”
