Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 212 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the service to be consistently poor, with issues ranging from unreliable internet and mobile data to difficulties with account management and billing. People frequently reported spending significant time on the phone or chat, often being put on hold, transferred between agents, or having their calls abruptly ended without resolution. The customer service was widely described as diabolical, atrocious, and unhelpful, with many feeling that agents lacked the knowledge or ability to address their concerns.

After 5 hours on the phone and having spoken to 4 'experts' who had me diagnosing and rediagnosing my broadband issues they finally agreed with me that the router was faulty. Absolutely terrible service. A stressful waste of time and rubbish equipment not fit for purpose.

Shocking customer service

Shocking customer service, been told multiple times I have moved home and still have my old, old address on my bills which is now causing me issues in claiming it back from my new job. Told it's my fault this is wrong, despite them carrying out two change of addresses for me and being told multiple times I don't live there, and now being told they can't send me a correct invoice which I'm entitled to. Disgraceful!

I have been with Vodafone for many years. Lately, the internet has gone down lots causing issues with working from home, outdoor cameras to stop recording and interrupting any TV entertainment my family enjoy. The website is a pain as it never retains your password. Very annoying. Do better @vodafone as there are many other places to go. Time for a change maybe.

Absolute appalling company customer…

Absolute appalling company customer service are unprofessional and haven't a clue.anyway vodafone phoned me offering a deal which if you took the deal you get £70 cash back, So it all seemed good, fast fibre 900mbs for £31 a month plus I get £70 cashback, so I was out of contract with my old service providing so I took the deal, so I recieved the box and basically had to plug it all in myself has there was no instructions, managed to get it working but the WiFi was really weak around the house, intact it was aweful so I called them about it and they tried selling me boosters , I thought they was joking like , ive never ever had a problem before so why now, couldn't get any joy out of them, also my home phone wasnt working and couldn't not get any joy there has I didnt have my account number simply because they was sending all details to a different email and not mine , after 2 months I managed to get it, but the wifi is appalling the signal around the house is very weak in some areas its dead and vodafone said we dont guarantee the wifi signal, too right they dont as they now its aweful. Also rang again numerous times to see where this £70 was where they sort of could not find that deal, I felt a deception was being committed here, so they pasted the buck to the relevant department so they said and they will get back to me, they never did, 3 times I tried with the same story of them but no call backs, So think twice about going with vodafone broadband as honestly its bad all around and the lies do roll from them, A Absolute Appalling company with the worst broadband service you could ever encounter
!!!! Avoid!!!

Then after I stated that automated voice and app is not responding that mental abomination hungs up the phone...AND IVE BEEN SUPER NICE! Im so out of this phone company

Joined Vodafone - Biggest Regret Ever

Have moved over to Vodafone after being a loyal customer to EE for over a decade. Hands down one of the worst decisions I could’ve made. My experience with Vodafone and the poor customer service has made the savings from a cheaper tariff not worth the hassle or stress.

I’ve taken out two SIM Only Contracts for both my wife and I and each contract has had to be cancelled and done again twice. That’s a total of 4 contracts in the space of 2 days and a 5th contract because guess what, they messed up again. I just don’t understand how you can be on the phone, confirm your package, double check and confirm and then suddenly they put through a different package.

Not only this, I ported my number in to Vodafone when I took out the first contract, but because they messed up my contract, I had to cancel it and needed to take out a contract with a different network provider, port my number out to them, cancel that new contract with the temporary provider, port my number back to Vodafone and the scheduled day for porting is over and it’s passed midnight and I’ve had no email to confirm porting is completed and E-Sim is ready so had no data or service all day as my old provider has closed the account.

The first day they messed up my contract, I wasted 4 hours on the phone being passed from different departments and each person I spoke to was so incompetent and had no clue how their own process works. One guy even tried to share a link to their own internal sharepoint to an irrelevant guide which only internal Vodafone staff can access.

I’ve wasted an entire week, spent hours on the phone, spoke to almost a dozen employees, and I STILL HAVEN’T BEEN CONNECTED.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced and will never ever recommend them to anyone. Please, if it’s to save a few pounds a month, just stick with your current provider. These lot are a waste of time and space.

Apalling customer service

over 3 hours across 2 chats and 1 phone call and via 7 different people to resolve an error they made on my broadband bill .... so much for Just Say Once! Also conflicting answers, told things that were not correct. The only worse experience I had was with TalkTalk ..... switching away from Vodafone

Where do I begin

Where do I begin, firstly placed an order for the giga cube box, the thing you just plug in and go basically, the first lady I spoke to did everything that was supposed to happen except take the up front payment, for the plan I wanted the website also stated £23 per month, when I was talking with her she said it was £28..how strange...anyway apparently she went and had a little conversation with the air, came back and low and behold, couldn't honour the website price, I should have know at this stage, major red flag, I went ahead because I was desperate for broadband as recently moved and work from home, no one followed up so I had to call the next day and go through absolutely everything again, except this time i was told the plan was £23, absolute scam artists here, I have to assume they are being told how and what to say with customers but honestly what a joke. Got the thing anyway and it was simply not robust enough for my demands so I called to send back, was told I had to pay a £500 disconnection fee!! Honestly at this stage it's funny, so I obviously pushed back on that because 1, I was in the 14 days cooling off period, 2 this was not a connected broadband, the giga thing is literally just a box you plug in, turns out he had not received any training about the giga box return.....que a long hold while he sorts that out, so I don't need to pay the £500 which of course I knew and had zero intentions of paying, to end a long story, do not engage with Vodaphone, they are a nightmare, I ended up going with BT whom I had no issues with, got it set up in no time, didn't have to deal with anyone asking me how my day is going and that they can make it better (they clearly did not), would never use Vodaphone or even consider them again.

Would give zero stars if possible

Would give zero stars if possible. Tried to switch broadband providers online, order was confirmed. Then they cancelled it and told me to phone customer services, after 1.5 hours on the phone they re-ordered the switch but I couldn't have the switching gift card of £140 as that was online only! Also said needed engineer even tho I already have FTTP. They could not tell me why but muttered something about my land line. I had lost interest by then. Phoned existing provider (Plusnet) who then offered me a better deal than their original one. Phoned Vodaphone to cancel the switch, another 40 mins then transferred to someone else, probably in India, could hardly understand what they were saying, to confirm I wanted to cancel the order. I for one would not touch any Vodaphone product with a barge pole, abysmal service with call centre staff who sound like they would rather be somewhere else.

Problem solved…

I have just returned from the Vodafone store in Maidenhead. The young man I first approach was unable to help me luckily for me his colleague Rimza came to my aid.
In about 10 minutes, she had sorted out the program. She also gave me help and advice on my contract.
Many thanks to Rimza.

Poor

If you are thinking about switching to Vodafone broadband, think very carefully. Three days after "activation" we still don't have Internet access or landline and their customer service and support has been atrocious. I am a long term customer for their mobile service but they will be losing my custom for that too

Broadband sale failure

Attempted to set up broadband for a property that am moving into. This seemed fine at first and I received confirmation emails, but then half an hour later I received texts and emails saying that my order had been cancelled. I checked my account and it said that the order was still being processed. Several emails that I received looked like phishing attempts. One day later I checked my account and it said that my order had been cancelled. No reason provided. AWFUL.

We bought 2 Samsung Galaxy A17 phones at Winchester Vodafone. Friendly, helpful service, with the needs of the customer in mind. They willingly answered questions about the product as part of an after sales service. Nice team atmosphere in the shop.

Maddie deserves a rise!!

after visiting vodafone swansea for some help on my newly bought samsung phone with some problems i was dealt with by Maddie. She was a breath of fresh air, she not only solved my problem but certainly knows her stuff and deserves a rise. it is quite a shock when you get service in a shop like this and Maddie certainly deserves recognition in her job. well done you.

I am fed up of being scammed by vodaphone broadband the worst mistake of my life. I am paying for the 150 package. I am getting a Dowload speed of 160 kb/sec and less I am being defrauded of what I am paying for. Trouble from day one with this micky mouse outfit. Why do they get away with it. Why should I have to pay £200 to get away from these clowns
