  @VodafoneUK Hi, I received the following message: "Unfortunately, your payment has been declined. Please call 0808-2810848 for more information" I have an Automatic Top Up due to renew on the 28th. Could this be an issue with my bank? Thank you.

  The funny thing about @vodafoneuk’s hold music is that it has lyrics like ‘I’m back at square one’ and ‘I get used to living with no-one’.... which, sums up there service! Always back at square one, and no one who will accept we have a problem. Comedians as well as hucksters.

  @VodafoneUK having issues with nuisance calls from a number very similar to my own. Only the last 3 digits are different. I rang one of the numbers back today and the person who answered says she never rang me but has a similar number to me and is having the same problem with 1/2

  @VodafoneUK I don't, I've had my O2 account credited with £30 for the inconvenience of having no mobile signal in Stanhope for nearly 2 weeks. However it appears Vodafone customer service isn't so good and @MardybumHelen is one of those customers

  Cancelled broadband contract with @VodafoneUK last month but they didn’t cancel. Spent hours on chat and phone and eventually they cancelled. Checked tonight and they’ve restarted contract without me knowing. On chat hours and they’ve disconnected! AVOID Vodafone

  Katie Wakenshaw (@katiewakenshaw) reported 24 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @VodafoneUK Hi I’ve done this before and nothing has happened because you always say the signal is fine in my area when it’s clearly not. I’m paying nearly £70 a month and I can barely get on the internet

  @VodafoneUK @Ofcom so I ask for PAC CODE to leave network early. Agreed to early term fee which then goes up by over £30 as I wish to retain my own number. They are making a killing out of unsuspecting customers. #disgracefulcustomerservice Complaint raised.

  @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.

  Or Sassur (@Orsassur2) reported 22 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.
