The best way to cancel depends on whether you&#8217;re moving to another network and whether you&#8217;d like to keep your current phone number when you move.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, you&#8217;ll need to pay an &#8220;early termination charge&#8221; or &#8220;early exit fee&#8221; when you cancel your contract. This will apply when you cancel during the minimum term of your contract (i.e. the first 12 months or 24 months). In addition, a notice period of around 30 days may also apply if you&#8217;re following the standard cancellation process.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll show you how to cancel your mobile phone contract. For each mobile network, we&#8217;ll discuss the exit fees and notice periods that apply when you cancel your contract. We&#8217;ll also discuss the discounts available, along with alternative solutions that might allow you to bypass the extra charges.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#How_To_Cancel_Your_Contract\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> How To Cancel Your Contract<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Overview_of_Early_Exit_Fees\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> Overview of Early Exit Fees<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Early_Termination_Fees_By_Network\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">3<\/span> Early Termination Fees: By Network<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#BT_Mobile\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.1<\/span> BT Mobile<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#EE\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.2<\/span> EE<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#giffgaff\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.3<\/span> giffgaff<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#iD_Mobile\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.4<\/span> iD Mobile<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#O2\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.5<\/span> O2<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Plusnet_Mobile\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.6<\/span> Plusnet Mobile<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Sky_Mobile\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.7<\/span> Sky Mobile<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Tesco_Mobile\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.8<\/span> Tesco Mobile<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Three\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.9<\/span> Three<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Virgin_Mobile\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.10<\/span> Virgin Mobile<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Vodafone\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">3.11<\/span> Vodafone<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Alternatives_to_Cancelling_Early\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">4<\/span> Alternatives to Cancelling Early<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Changing_Your_Mobile_Phone\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">4.1<\/span> Changing Your Mobile Phone<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Struggling_With_Poor_Coverage\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">4.2<\/span> Struggling With Poor Coverage<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Leaving_the_UK\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">4.3<\/span> Leaving the UK<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Financial_Difficulties\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">4.4<\/span> Financial Difficulties<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Notice_Period_Charges\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">5<\/span> Notice Period Charges<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#More_Information\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">6<\/span> More Information<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"How_To_Cancel_Your_Contract\">How To Cancel Your Contract<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-22153\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/UK-Satellite-Map-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"172\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/UK-Satellite-Map-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/UK-Satellite-Map-27x40.jpg 27w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/UK-Satellite-Map-69x100.jpg 69w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/UK-Satellite-Map.jpg 695w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 172px) 100vw, 172px\" \/>Broadly speaking, there are three ways to cancel your mobile phone contract in the UK:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/pac-codes-how-to-transfer-your-mobile-number-when-switching-networks\">PAC Code<\/a> Cancellation process<\/em> should be used when you&#8217;re moving to another mobile network and want to keep your current phone number.<\/li>\n<li>The <em>STAC Code Cancellation process<\/em> should be used when you&#8217;re moving to another mobile network, but starting afresh with a new phone number.<\/li>\n<li>The <em>standard cancellation process<\/em> applies if you&#8217;re not moving to another network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our network-by-network guides will take you through the process of how to cancel your contract on each mobile network.

This is because you&#8217;re essentially paying off the remainder of your contract but you won&#8217;t be getting a service in return for your payment.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of ways to side-step early termination fees. For instance, you can change your mobile phone without changing your contract. Alternatively, if you&#8217;re struggling with poor coverage, there could be ways to improve this without cancelling your contract.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Changing_Your_Mobile_Phone\">Changing Your Mobile Phone<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22428 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iPhone-XS-Max-and-Galaxy-Note-9-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iPhone-XS-Max-and-Galaxy-Note-9-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iPhone-XS-Max-and-Galaxy-Note-9-40x34.jpg 40w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iPhone-XS-Max-and-Galaxy-Note-9-100x86.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iPhone-XS-Max-and-Galaxy-Note-9.jpg 722w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>If you&#8217;d like to change your mobile phone, it isn&#8217;t always necessary to change your contract as well.<\/p>\n<p>When you upgrade your mobile phone through your network provider, you may need to pay an early termination fee for the remainder of your current contract.<\/p>\n<p>To side-step this, you can buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/unlocked-smartphones\">SIM-free handset<\/a> elsewhere (e.g. from <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/uk-mobile-retailers\">retailers<\/a> like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/mn\/search\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;lo=electronics&amp;pf_rd_i=560820&amp;pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&amp;pf_rd_p=845174987&amp;pf_rd_r=138744YVZZ03AZ013Q5C&amp;pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-top-3&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Cn%3A560798%2Cn%3A!560800%2Cn%3A1340509031%2Cn%3A5362060031%2Cn%3A356496011&amp;tag=cosbl08-21\">Amazon<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.carphonewarehouse.com%2Fmobiles%2Fsim-free.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"Carphone Warehouse\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.carphonewarehouse.com\/mobiles\/sim-free.html\">Carphone Warehouse<\/a>).

If you think you might have difficulties paying your phone bill, there is lots of support available from different organisations. In the first instance, contact your mobile network as quickly as you can. They should offer you some alternative payment options. You can also consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizensadvice.org.uk\/consumer\/phone-internet-downloads-or-tv\/if-youre-struggling-to-pay-your-mobile-phone-internet-or-tv-bill\/\">Citizens Advice Bureau<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stepchange.org\/\">StepChange Debt<\/a> for advice.<\/p>\n<p>If you were to cancel your contract without paying a required early termination fee, your details will normally be passed to a Debt Collection Agency. This will affect your <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/mobile-phone-credit-check\">credit rating<\/a>, and the debt will likely be pursued by other means.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, you may find it helpful to get <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/free-pay-as-you-go-sim-cards-listed-reviewed-and-compared\">a free Pay As You Go SIM card<\/a> as this can give you more control over your mobile phone spend.
