I have been trying to contact Vodafone for the last 2 hours in regards to cancelling an upgrade I received in the post today. I have been on hold on 2 separate occasions for a total of one and half hours, and still didn't get to speak to an adviser, has anyone else experienced similar problems?

To top it off I thought the 191 number was free for contract customers, but after checking my balance these minutes have been deducted from my inclusive bundle.

Does anyone have an address that I can return the phone to or an easier way of getting in touch with Vodafone ASAP? I have just sent them an e-mail on the contact us page but have done so in the past without anyone getting back in touch. I need to ensure it's sent back within the next 14 days.

    Thanks Hotkee, tried them this morning and was told that they couldn't help me, they said they only deal with customers who have purchased online.

    Tried calling 191 again during my lunch for over 25 minutes and couldn't get through, then again after work for another 30 minutes with no luck. It's starting to really stress me out now. I've never experienced such lack of customer care.

    Will try calling Otelo tomorrow to see if they have any advice.

    As glitter123 suggested, you could try the Vodafone eForum.

    See a topic here http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3457

    You have 14 days to return it I think - register on that forum today and post your question - search for returns on that forum - you might get help.

    It might be worth asking someone else to call on your behalf while you are at work - although then they might only want to speak to you :-(

    I take it the upgrade was directly from Vodafone? May not be online - its their responsibility.

    I also got this thread you can try http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13675&hl=return

    There is a mention of Contact Us email in there.
