  Hey @VodafoneUK any update? Your lack of response doesn’t support the increase tbh! Ignorance isn’t bliss despite what some may say.

  Nice to see that @VodafoneUK have increased the cost of my mobile phone plan when most are bending over backwards to help their customers through these uncertain times .... cheers for that, I’ll remember this when my contracts up in November #timetoswitch

  @HJMovingFarAway @VodafoneUK My dad warned me about Vodafone before. But obviously I saw a deal. He wasn't joking about their customer services. Usually its been okay out of the 2 or 3 precious times I've contacted them. I've never had someone be awkward. She has to be new. Either new or lazy. Either all.

  @VodafoneUK placed a order online to collect In store (the fort Birmingham) has a email saying the order was ready to pick up, travelled to the store and they said the systems down and don’t know when it’ll be back up (already been down for a week) so I can’t collect the phone.

  @GeorgeMonbiot @VodafoneUK This doesn’t surprise me at all. My mother died in 2003 and trying to close her BT landline account was a nightmare. The person I spoke to kept saying “we need to speak to the customer”! Finally I went into the BT sales centre saw a charming lady and in 20 minutes I had finished.

  Lee Anthony (@Holland4La) reported 44 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @VodafoneUK That’s a lie! I called up on monday (whilst waiting for my order) as the link i was sent to ‘upgrade now’ let me go all the way through to payment and never once mentioned out of stock or a delay. You may have changed that now but that was always the case!

  At Star City in Birmingham, outside and can only get 3G. Come on @VodafoneUK , get your 4G network up to scratch before sorting out 5G (particularly as that roll out is slow).

  @VodafoneUK day 1 of your “super fast” broadband & I’m already regretting it. Min guaranteed speed is 40mb/s- we’re getting 13mb/s & internet constantly dropping out. Spoke to a customer advisor earlier who was rude. Now back in the long queue to speak with someone else. Help. 😢

  @HJMovingFarAway @CostaCoffee @VodafoneUK I have never had an issue with them. Even on calls always had UK based. Although, as we know these days there is little given to brand loyalty. I was expecting them to tell me to do one as I told them what I wanted rather than accepting what they wanted. Yep surprised.

  @VodafoneUK is 10 days reasonable to fix a faulty phone you sold me for £1200 and your app said it’s a faulty battery. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you are entitled to have a faulty phone repaired or replaced within a "reasonable time"

  @thewitchof653 @IsntWorkingPod @VodafoneUK They simply cannot stand the idea that the modern workplace exists to support all employees no matter what their circumstances. They have to paint a picture of disgruntled colleagues and unrest.

  So ****** off with the service from @ThreeUK (supposedly I can piggy back off @VodafoneUK masts?!) is there a problem calling landline numbers today? Mobile … fine, landlines ~ nothing … just silence?

  Arun Hebbar (@ArunHebbar7) reported 15 minutes ago

  @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 hi, what is the process for getting an old Vodafone account which is no longer active fully closed and removed from my credit file? I haven’t been a Vodafone customer for over 12mths, yet you still appear on my credit file with an update as recent as March 26??

  🚨 @VodafoneUK SCAM ALERT 🚨 I cancelled my contract in March. You CONFIRMED disconnection by 9 April. My number went dead — yet you’ve been taking payments from my account ever since. Now you’re: ❌ Refusing to issue my PAC Code ❌ Demanding payment for a service I CANNOT USE

  @KirstieMAllsopp @VodafoneUK @lycamobile I've been a victim of identity theft and someone is opening lyca mobile accounts in my name, using my credit file. Lyca mobile have been crap dealing with it. No sense of urgency. Call centre staff won't deal with me.
