  Disgusting service from @VodafoneUK on trying to get a date for broadband told one date with an order number from @WeAreOpenreach. Confirmation for 3 weeks later - not good enough when @VodafoneUK cancelled the original order. Would be good to speak to someone.

  @VodafoneUK Nope. I’m ditching @VodafoneUK… or trying to. Now on 4th attempt. Maybe I’ll just shut down the direct debit. Maybe that’ll get your attention. Nothing else seems to work

  Hi @VodafoneUK is it correct that if my Home Broadband service is cancelled within the first 14 days that it gets disconnected 5 days after the cancellation request was raised, I called 191 to cancel yesterday (5 Nov) and they told me it disconnects on 10 November! Thanks. James

  @VodafoneUK You are a joke! Went into a store for an upgrade that your staff couldn’t do! Ended up disconnecting my number for no reason ! Now have a phone with the wrong number. It took you two mins to F*** up, phone call after phone with no resolution. Lost work, furious 😡

  Hi @VodafoneUK I've recently had broadband installed with yourselves and was due to go live on the 18 May. However it has still not been activated. I am currently working from home and rely on having an active broadband connection. How do I go about getting a complaint raised?

  @VodafoneUK what a shambles. Switching accounts is supposed to be easy & seemless. I’m now on my 4th attempt & going round in circles. How about I just stop paying? Might get your attention then? Customer service? Nonexistent. #Vodafone

  @O2 you are as an organisation possibly the worst most incompetent, disorganised shambles of an excuse of a company I have ever come across and at this point are making @VodafoneUK look professional and trust me I wouldn’t trust them to make a cup of tea

  @Lindstar24 @VodafoneUK are an abysmal, thieving mobile & internet provider who charge exorbitant rates for a very poor service. ANYONE who has an account with them should seek professional help immediately.

  @VodafoneUK What’s with the freebies you are handing out then? Dont see much denial.. or even an apology.. I’m glad I cut the contract you.. not only tripe service but you are a core problem in this country.. Nick Read.. prep a public apology before you lost any sane customer you have left.

  Vodafone seem not too have learned from previous idiotic companies that tried other stunts. I'm sure when people starting cancelling their contracts and swapping providers @VodafoneUK may find themselves in serious financial trouble and regretting supporting illegal immigrants.

  Or Sassur (@Orsassur2) reported 23 minutes ago

  @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.
