    @VodafoneUK Find it astonishing that having been a loyal customer for 5-6 years, that come renewal time you can’t compete with VOXI on price. In 12 months my iPhone 8 is probably ready for replacement and you get me on another 2 year contract. Short-sighted at the best of times

    @VodafoneUK been into Sutton Coldfield store 3 times to request NHS discount to be added to my contracts & provided ID each time. 3 times I’ve been promised & assured it’s done. Now 3 times I’ve been lied to & money taken from my bank. Awful customer service. Sort it out!

    @VodafoneUK broadband is shocking!! My TV is next to the broadband box and it still shows poor signal. I'm better off using 4g than broadband when at home. So infuriating

    @VodafoneUK Customer service and sales are totally useless when you are trying to take a new contract out with them 😤still haven't got any where with them

  • kford_red
    Sunny (@kford_red) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    Attempting to setup a new mobile phone contract with @VodafoneUK is up there with being one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Worst communication skills and customer service I’ve ever come across. 😠 😡 😤

    @danboq @VodafoneUK I must admit I can’t moan about the phone signal, I tend to get full bars. But I’ve never once had 5G, I’m starting to think it that it doesn’t actually exist...

  • blueghostuk
    Michael Pritchard (@blueghostuk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @VodafoneUK It does now, but this should be made clear on marketing materials. I called to cancel my broadband sign up and they gave me £50 discount so it worked out ok in the end

    @VodafoneUK Is anyone going to get back to me about about my one number issue I’ve got. I got a DM off someone yesterday at half two and that’s that nothing else since.

    @HJMovingFarAway @CostaCoffee @VodafoneUK That's why I went to the shop. Online & also online chat was crap. Told the guy what I wanted, if not I would nip upstairs to EE who could give me just that. No problem in fact I got more than I expected & saved a few quid in the process. I did not expect that. 👍😎

    Arun Hebbar (@ArunHebbar7) reported

    @rksrajiv @VodafoneUK @AdityaBirlaGrp For a moment, exclude the Rs. 36,950 crore equity conversion and consider only the financial activities (i.e., cash inflows and cash outflows) from 01 Oct 2021 to 31 Dec 2025. Accordingly, as of 31 Dec 2025, Vodafone Idea has a cash shortfall of Rs. 26,620 crore. Hence, the company cannot fully discharge its interest and finance obligations, nor can it allocate funds for network expansion. Now consider that as of 31 Dec 2025, the Government has provided relief on AGR dues and freezed the final AGR liability at around Rs. 64,000 crore till FY2036. Accordingly, the AGR interest recognised by the company during the moratorium period does not need to be discharged immediately. Therefore, if you adjust the earlier cash shortfall of Rs. 26,620 crore by excluding Rs. 17,102 crore of AGR-related interest, the net shortfall comes to approximately Rs. 8,000+ crore as of 31 Dec 2025. Lastly, coming to Spectrum obligations, the company has recognised around Rs. 55,254 crore. Even after reducing approximately Rs. 9,000 crore towards the cash shortfall, the company would still be able to discharge nearly Rs. 46,000 crore. With this, Vodafone Idea would reduce its Spectrum obligations from around Rs. 1.2 lakh crore to nearly Rs. 74,000 crore. In such a scenario, lenders may be willing to provide around Rs. 45,000 crore in funding, which the company can utilise for network expansion and CAPEX purposes. That's all I am trying to explain. In any case, Vodafone Idea still has multiple possibilities to clean up its balance sheet without any further equity dilution. 31 March 2026 Financial results are very crucial.

    @VodafoneUK worst customer service experience ever top up on app wouldn't work lady could barely speak English asked me to spell my whole name and address then told me to go online to top up when I was calling cos online didn't work!!!! Ridiculous

    Hello @VodafoneUK I have lost count of the number of times I have tried to contact you today. I have been cut off each time (so not a great advertisement for your network!!)

    @VodafoneUK - you are invoicing me for an account I cancelled within 24 hours of opening it because of your poor service. Now you are billling me for it - appalling

  • pauljonesAIR
    Paul Jones - Performer/Shooter, Web sites🔞 (@pauljonesAIR) reported

    @VodafoneUK OK, so, a complaint Phone, with bank cards, lost. No problem, get a new one. I went to the vodafone shop, with my passport and my bank statement. They can't help. They can only order a sim for a lost phone if I have my bank cards. The ones in the phone. That will take a week to replace. They told me to phone customer services. CS were surprised the shop could not help, so put me through security. Which I failed. I even have a 4 digit code? Never used it. My last bill? No idea, because it's a text on my phone. Look at my bank statement? Fair plan, but my LOST PHONE is my 2FA device, so before showing my my statement, my bank will send a text to my phone, the one I don't have any more... They said I failed security and the only option would be a security reset. They'd send me an email. You know what the security reset asks for? a PHOTO of my passport and a PHOTO of my bank statement. You know what is LESS SECURE than a person standing in front of you, with their physical passport and bank statement? A photo of those documents attached to a form. It's almost as though you have not paid attention to what AI image generation can do these days. If you ever need to get a DBS check, they require you turn up, in person , and present physical documents. Not photos. SUGGESTION : If a customer comes to a shop with their passport and bank statement, THAT IS SECURE ID and the shop should be able to order a sim replacement.

    No reply from @VodafoneUK - you’ve done half a job, can phone the grandkids, but texts/iMessages not working. How poor are you?

  • ourdancefamily
    Michael Dance (@ourdancefamily) reported

    .@SMARTYMobileUK is a waste of space. Their live chat asks you a load of trash and to cancel a sim is a pain in the arse. Why can’t a mobile company see the account you’ve logged into and actually provide decent support, every other network can, let’s hope @VodafoneUK fixes it!!
