  • JakeHarold_ Jake Harold (@JakeHarold_) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @VodafoneUK I cannot access my account and your dms are a minefield… can someone help me

  • jpsanders71 JonnyS (@jpsanders71) reported from Witham, England

    @VodafoneUK you’ve cut me off when you were apparently trying to sort out a major issue on my account. I’ve called back, you’ve gone home. Absolutely useless and a faceless organisation that clearly doesn’t care about Customers 0 out of 10 so far in the 10d I’ve had a contract

  • m3gan789 Meg🌻 (@m3gan789) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @courterz_ @VodafoneUK EE are exactly the same Courtney they’re **** and don’t give you a decent deal at all that’s why I’m leaving them when my contract is up!

  • SJWilding Simon Wilding🔸🇪🇺 (@SJWilding) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    Anyone got a semi reasonable reply from @VodafoneUK about their broadband outage? Can't believe a large company like VF has put nothing about a major fault on their website or social media. Esp at the moment when people are working from home.

  • SJWilding Simon Wilding🔸🇪🇺 (@SJWilding) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    @Reed88Mr @VodafoneUK I'm in Colchester too and having the same problems

  • JakeHarold_ Jake Harold (@JakeHarold_) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @VodafoneGroup @VodafoneUK can someone please explain to me why I still have £8 linked to my account when I haven’t been with Vodafone since 2017? I already had this problem before when I cancelled my contract and you decided to continue taking my money for months without refund

  • SJWilding Simon Wilding🔸🇪🇺 (@SJWilding) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @Joser_72 @VodafoneUK Their communications have been appalling, they know this is a major outage yet treat every complaint as an individual fault, "fill this out and we'll investigate'. They are just hiding what is a major failure. Any other company would be updating constantly.

  • kayleighkruse KK (@kayleighkruse) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @VodafoneUK I made a complaint about the above issue and am waiting for a response. I've now had a text saying that you've restricted my account for not paying my bill which is absolutely absurd when the problem was that you took too much! I'm absolutely livid at this whole situation.

  • m3gan789 Meg🌻 (@m3gan789) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @courterz_ @VodafoneUK I know the feeling! Have you called customer service sometimes you can get a better deal when you do it over the phone xxx

  • stunningblk Kachi Snr (@stunningblk) reported from Braintree, England

    Vodafone Broadband ruined my business today, down for the whole day, could literally not do anything @VodafoneUK

    @VodafoneUK broadband at home not working for 2nd day in a row and it’s eating into my mobile phone data - please sort this urgently as due to be working from home tomorrow

  • MaxineTJones Maxine Trick Jones (@MaxineTJones) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @VodafoneUK I’ve managed to upgrade online to a 13 pro which now won’t be available for 5-6 weeks. In the meantime, my entertainment package runs out but Vodafone won’t extend it whilst I’m waiting for my new phone. So I’ve had to cancel Spotify otherwise I’ll be paying an extra £9.99 cont…

  • RonnieTemplar The Goththing 🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@RonnieTemplar) reported

    @dailysnapbymt @VodafoneUK Customer support is shocking too, no interest in loyalty. Happy with my phone’s so we are looking at going sim only.

  • OfficerRBunny Rob Clayson (@OfficerRBunny) reported

    What happened to @VodafoneUK customer service? In May my issue was resolved quickly and with no fuss. In Dec, spent hours on hold, been promised 5 call backs which never happen and my complaint gets shut without them even doing anything whilst I pay for a service I don't have.

  • RalphNe32269576 Ralph Nelson (@RalphNe32269576) reported

    @VodafoneUK Major issues with my account. I need to show you screenshots. Having no contact email address makes it impossible.

  • pbjeebee Peter Brash (@pbjeebee) reported

    @VodafoneUK What would vodafone be called if they were really poor at dealing with customers? Trying to get in touch to amend an order. TOBi seems to be asleep. Seriously, get a grip.

  • wainy1974 Steven Wainwright (@wainy1974) reported

    @Mattdunn1990 @VodafoneUK Awful company o don’t know how they have stayed open. I am having the same problem, trying to get in touch all night

  • Jingjonun YKT$⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀ (@Jingjonun) reported

    Since I bought my first cell phone I've never used any other line except from @VodafoneUK and @SafaricomPLC .

  • wainy1974 Steven Wainwright (@wainy1974) reported

    @VodafoneUK I have been on the phone all night to try and give you my 30 days notice. 50 minutes on the phone waiting and now the bot has but me in a queue on your on line service. Poor customer service. I should just cancel my direct debit and you will soon be in touch

  • Eddystone506 Sustainable Energy Forum (@Eddystone506) reported

    @VodafoneUK seriously, 3G which is so slow it’s UNUSABLE at Derby station??

  • TheUndisputedPH PH…💥BOOM💥 (@TheUndisputedPH) reported

    @VodafoneUK your customer service billing team member, Manvendra, is great at their job. I was unable to activate my eSIM since September 3rd! Three advisors before them had failed to solve the issue and kept sending me out of date QR codes. Manvendra had it working in 3 mins! 👏🏻
