AVOID at all costs!!! Please, please do not use Vodaphone. We have a business which used their sim card for an internet router. Vodaphone deliberately moved the refresh date for the data twice in the last year, the first time without our knowledge or confirmation (we fought this charge and was offered a discount and won) and the second time at the most disadvantageous time for us a business but to a date which would net Vodaphone the maximum amount of extra money (just received a bill for over £700.00). Be aware they do NOT cap their data usage (no matter how many times we asked) and our Vodaphone sim card serial number would not work with their online registration system so we had to install our own software to monitor it but due to them changing the refresh dates we could not tell what we were using accurately enough to monitor it. Their customer service is atrocious with one representative saying they will phone back or email and it never happening and then when we call again, the notes from our previous conversation mysteriously disappear so we have to start again. Thank you for reading this review.

cannot log into my online account. been overcharged over the past 18 months (did not apply discount as well as charging twice for a service!!). speak to operators who are very polite but have no clue of what you are saying and even less of a clue of what you want. 'escalate' complaints and talking to 'supervisors' these promise to ring back. no one ever does.the list of problems is literally endless!!! i have no idea how they can still operate. shameful and unacceptable are understatements

This has been so far the most terrible customer experience I have ever had. In essence, this is a very bureaucratic organisation with a plethora of incompetent people working there. I went to one of their stores to find out more about the home broadband deals and ended up signing the contract. In the process, there was a technical issue and a guy spent about half an hour trying to get someone in the support office by phone to fix it. After several futile attempts, he just used a different PC station. It was not until the signing of the contract that he told me I would need to purchase their router separately. But the worst thing he did is that he indicated a more expensive broadband package and it was not until I received the contract by post that I saw the mistake. And all the nightmare started...I went back to their store hoping that it would be fixed easily but they told me that I need to cancel my contract BY PHONE and to sign a new one which also meant a LATER broadband activation date. I called and I literally talked to a robot first telling it the purpose of my call. After that, they put me on hold and offered a callback when somebody got free. When I finally got a human talking to me, I had to answer all these numerous security questions like my PIN, sort code, postcode, ect. And then I was transferred to several more agents and they also asked me the same security questions. After they made several call transfers, I could not help thinking if it is ever possible for me to get someone who can cancel the contract. Rather than that, one of these call center agents started canceling my MOBILE broadband and I was lucky to notice that. Why do you ever ask all this info like the order number and account number then? Weeks later I realized I had not been refunded for the router (on the day of signing the second contract, they no longer required that you buy their router due to some changes in pricing policies). I got in touch with them via online chat and after this tedious procedure of security checks and an explanation of my situation, the connection was lost on their end and no one got in touch with me after that although the message was saying that the agent would reestablish the connection. After 30 minutes of waiting I started another chat and guess what, there was a different agent who started asking those security questions again. He issued a refund...and CANCELLED MY CONTRACT! How could it ever be possible? I have not requested any cancellation and this can be easily proved if the online correspondence is to be retrieved. I also felt ignored because they did not inform me they did it. This seems to be very unprofessional at the very least. It came as a shock on the activation day when NO ONE SHOWED UP to set up the service and I just wasted my day waiting for an engineer. I got in touch with them online again and a guy just told me that they canceled it. He suggested that I give them a call to investigate the issue. You must be kidding me. Why should I do it? To sign the THIRD contract while you can't even manage two? To answer all these annoying security questions just to be redirected to somebody else? To wait another month for the activation day to come and hope that it will not be canceled? I just wasted a whole month whereas I could have got it somewhere else far quicker and without any problems caused by careless people. This organisation is a joke. Stay away from it as far as you can. If a "dedicated staff member" is reading this review, I can already predict that they will write something like "We are very sorry to hear this. Please email or call us to discuss the situation". No way I am doing this. I just don't believe that this organisation is capable of solving problems in a fast and efficient way. I better seek an alternative service provider.

Vodaphone contact existing customers and scam them into contracts that they have not asked for. Do not enter a contract with this company over the phone. They are quite simply scammers. Customer service and complaints department awful.

Karina in the Bangor Gwynedd store was a super help today. I had a problem with my phone and she fixed it there and then. She was sociable, smiley and thoroughly helpful. I totally recommend her if you have a problem with your mobile phone.

What didn't go wrong? My fiances mum and I tried calling vodafone several times after filling in several forms online to have my phone unlocked! Eventually (rolls eyes) they send the email regarding the phone... Only to find out it was the WRONG PHONE! My Fiance is stressed, its her final year of university and vadofone are making her ill. Something that should be so simple has become so difficult, we've been misinformed, lied to and not listened too on various occasions. They take advantage of people who have no idea, my father has declining mental health and has been put onto unnecessarily expensive contracts on more than one occasion, as he doesnt know what hes doing. Vadafone is a sick company and some of its staff should be ashamed, taking advantage of its customers in such a way.

I've been with Vodafone for years now and I'm beginning to understand why there are so many of it's customers are disgusted with this company particularly their customer service. I tried to give them the 30-day cancellation notice as I was approaching the end of my tablet contract which should be the 24th of October wherein I'll be on a long day shift at work. And because I have some free time, I phoned them on the 22nd. Then they told me that I should call back to cancel the contract on the 24th itself because they have to charge me an early termination fee if I decide to give them notice on the 22nd!!!! What a twat! btw, I've something similar with Three network and they're ok with giving notice 2-3 days earlier than it should be. I eventually gave my cancellation notice and after a few days they sent me an email saying if I call their retentions no., I can get a 40% discount from a mobile broadband contract (which covers tablet contracts). I tried to phone the no. and quoted the email I received and I asked for a quote for a tablet contract. I told the retentions guy named TOM to give me quote for the ipad 2018 that was released in april 2018. TOM said the tablet that I want is not included with the discount email that I was talking about because it was a new model device! clearly it didn't say on the email that the offer is only good for old model devices. I learned that the device included with the discount email is the ipad air 2 which is by the way not being offered anymore by apple. And the climax is..... I still have to pay a little under £50 for 24 months and I'll also shell out for an upfront cost! This company is a big joke especially their rude customer service people. Good luck to those who are still interested to spend their hard earned money with these guys.

Note this .... vodafone should supply a PAC code within 2 hours of request. Your right to a PAC code is enshrined within clause 18 of Ofcons general conditions of entitlement.

Having tried for 2 days through their chat to get a PAC code and having the chat terminated by them on both occasions I found a complaints number which I called. After the same rigmarole I GOT MY PAC CODE! !! YIPPEE. If you want the complaints number 03333 041 524. I've never had an issue with coverage but this saga is not one I wish to repeat. Good bye Vodafone

"1 star" is FAR too generous! Worst service I have ever had in my life. 11 months and the incapable staff have charged me for their errors on 3 occasions, and only refunded one because I persisted via email about 5 times. I've wasted hours and hours emailing, phoning, going in store and they still haven't resolved anything. They haven't been able to set up a direct debit on my account (despite numerous confirmation in store, on the phone and in writing) and then charge me late payment fees due to their incompetence. I receive someone else's bill via sms every month without fail (they aren't able to see this). I was incorrectly charged abroad and the money was supposed to be refunded (it still hasn't). They still haven't answered my emails from January (one being who their regulator us so that I can escalate to them), they have just been ignoring my questions and sending copy and pasted responses. My Dad also had an account, he had an awful heart attack which cause a stroke, losing half his brain and was left unable to speak, after nearly a year in hospital and rehab he lost his house as he couldn't work. Vodafone documents were obviously not the priority of things to keep from the house he lost. I went into the store with him to cancel his contract as he could no longer afford the one he was on, I made it very clear that he couldn't speak anymore, but had his ID with him and could communicate with his hands or by nodding. The guy just kept brushing us away saying "all you can do is call us up to cancel, you can't cancel in store". Now I'm no rocket scientist, but when someone can't speak and doesn't even have their account details, phoning up is not possible. My dad was literally tied into his contract because he couldn't speak and they wouldn't allow a concession to cancel his contract for him in the store. He was looking very frustrated and embarrassed after (not being able to speak was very embarrassing for him and the staff were so rude and insensitive). I emailed about this and all I got was "that is our procedure". So if anyone ends up unable to speak, you're going to be tied into your contract for a lifetime! Outrageous. I honestly can't explain how ashamed this company should be. Once my contract has run out I will be running a mile and will never go back!!

Vodafone is the worst company for home broadband service I ever came across to. Had my Superfast2 line activated on 11th October, after 2 weeks & several tests, they informed me I would only get up to 19mbps max & operator stated I can cancel my account if not satisfied. Several days later I phoned to cancel & the worst part was, they put me to operator after operator & kept on going round & round asking the same questions until when I got so frustrated & raised my voice, they finally passed me to the cancellation team after 2 hours & then the last minute, they cut me off. So I phoned again & this time the operator told me they couldn't find my account details & I hanged up & called again. Started the conversation all over again as I told them to pass me onto the cancellation team, then cuts me off again ! Phoned again & put me on hold like forever. This company will humiliate you whatever way to get you to stay. Never ever came across this when I was with BT, Plusnet & Talktalk I will try again tomorrow as well as writing to the consumer credit, trading standard, Ombudsman Service & all review sites as well as facebook & twitter. PLEASE STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY OR YOU WILL REGRET LIKE ME.

Wouldn’t even give 1 star! Sold a faulty handset and no reasonable resolution. Rude, unhelpful and insolent advisors, many of whom don’t even understand what you are saying. Appalling service, complaint currently with ombudsman.

Vodafone. Just the worst company ever. I can't begin to recount the problems I've had with them. Ironically, given all their bad reviews on the internet, their sales department plays a recorded message saying their customers had voted them the best provider.....another Vodafone lie, I suspect.
