Osman (@deniz34j) reported@VodafoneUK I am writing to formally complain about Vodafone TR. The customer service agents are extremely rude and they hung up the phone on me. Furthermore, they are charging unfair and unauthorized extra fees on my bill. I cannot find any helpful representative in TR to solve my problem.

Carol Quayle (@CarolQuayl94328) reported@Iromg @VodafoneUK Yeah, I'm switching too - be careful, because some of the cheap carriers like Lebara run on the Vodafone network.

Colin Howard (@ColinHoward13) reported@Iromg @VodafoneUK I think it was November 2025 when you made your final mistake on Talk Radio wasn’t it, Mike? We all make errors in our lives but companies that try to help people in dire situations should not, in my opinion, be vilified.

Brian Moore (@BrianMooreAV) reportedWhat exactly are you playing at @VodafoneUK? I was looking to moving to the network. Not happening now.

Or Sassur (@Orsassur2) reported@VodafoneUK @VodafoneUK, your customer service in London was an absolute disgrace. I went to your store simply to buy a Vodafone SIM card and was treated like an enemy of the Crown rather than a potential customer. The attitude of the staff was arrogant, hostile and completely disproportionate to such a simple request. When a customer challenges poor service, your employees should not respond with intimidation, threats or an attitude designed to make the customer feel unwelcome. Your store staff are there to serve customers—not interrogate them as if they were members of the Secret Service. I expected professionalism from a major British telecommunications company. Instead, I experienced arrogance, hostility and behaviour that left me questioning whether Vodafone actually wants customers. @VodafoneUK, is this really the standard of customer service you consider acceptable in London? Because if so, the problem isn't the customer. The problem is Vodafone.

Or Sassur (@Orsassur2) reported@VodafoneUK, I am publicly raising a serious complaint about the appalling treatment I received at one of your stores in London. I entered your store for one simple and perfectly legitimate purpose: to purchase a Vodafone SIM card. I was not asking for a favour, demanding special treatment, or attempting to obtain anything extraordinary. I was a prospective customer who walked into a Vodafone shop expecting the most basic standards of courtesy, professionalism and respect. What I encountered was the complete opposite. Instead of being treated as a customer, I was made to feel as though I had walked into a high-security government facility and was somehow an enemy of the Crown. The attitude of some members of staff was astonishingly arrogant, hostile and unnecessarily confrontational. Their behaviour created an atmosphere in which a simple commercial transaction became an unpleasant confrontation. What makes this even more disturbing is the apparent attitude towards customers who dare to question or challenge poor service. Rather than calmly explaining the situation and attempting to resolve the matter, the interaction became increasingly hostile. I was confronted with behaviour that I perceived as intimidating, including what I understood as threats when the staff did not want to deal with my request. Let us be absolutely clear: customers are not supposed to be intimidated into silence because an employee does not want to provide assistance. A Vodafone employee is not a police officer, immigration official, security agent or member of the Secret Service. A shop is a commercial environment. Customers have the right to ask questions, request assistance and expect reasonable explanations without being treated as suspects. The irony is almost unbelievable. Vodafone is a telecommunications company whose entire business depends upon people choosing to communicate with you. Yet my experience was one in which communication, courtesy and basic customer service appeared to have been abandoned at the very moment they were most necessary. I have travelled to London and deliberately chose Vodafone as a major and internationally recognised telecommunications brand. I expected British standards of professionalism. Instead, I encountered an experience that was embarrassing—not for me, but for the company whose name was displayed above the door. A major telecommunications company should understand that its reputation is not built only through advertising campaigns, impressive websites and corporate slogans. Reputation is built in the shop, face-to-face, when an ordinary customer walks through the door. That is precisely where Vodafone failed me. I therefore expect Vodafone UK to investigate this incident properly, identify the employees involved, review any available CCTV and internal records, and determine whether the conduct I experienced complies with Vodafone's customer-service standards and employee policies. I am not asking for preferential treatment. I am asking for accountability. If Vodafone believes that treating prospective customers with arrogance, hostility and intimidation is acceptable, then Vodafone should say so publicly. If it does not, then it should demonstrate that through action rather than another generic corporate apology. @VodafoneUK, your logo may be recognised around the world, but no brand is bigger than the people who represent it. When those representatives treat customers with contempt, they damage the brand far more effectively than any competitor ever could. I went into a Vodafone store in London intending to become a customer. I walked out wondering why anyone would willingly choose to be one. That should concern you far more than this complaint.

GIA (@seen_less_1) reportedHi Vodafone UK. I have an LG GR500FD that is locked to Vodafone UK. The phone displays “Invalid SIM card network lock.” I am currently in Nigeria and need the Network Unlock Code (NUC/NCK). Your online NUC form and webchat aren’t working for me. @VodafoneUK
-
Chekeeuk (@chekeeuk) reported@FreedomMatty @Iromg @VodafoneUK I've already cancelled mine. Bloody check of them. If they can afford to give free give aways, why not concentrate on the customer base that they have here (what with the cost of living) rather than people who rock up uninvited!

Hal Apeno (@chilliholic) reported@Iromg @VodafoneUK Well done Mike. As well as cancelling support to my fave charity The Salvation army for the same reason I also no longer donate to the RNLI for obvious reasons. I live on the S. Coast but I discovered that all funds collected are returned to the centre for re-distribution.
