With the Vodafone Coverage in the Rockchapel area so poor lately, we would encourage people to ring 1740 (from a mobile) or 1850 995133 (from a landline), the direct technical line to make your complaint. The more people that ring these numbers the better chance we have of improving our phone coverage.
