Cancel your TalkTalk Mobile service

[#1]

We're sorry you're thinking of leaving us. Of course, we don't want you to go, but whatever your reason for leaving we've made it really simple.

If you're leaving us to join another provider, we’ll sort out your final bill and help you through the cancellation process.

You have three options when cancelling your TalkTalk Mobile account:

1. Transfer your number to a new provider - PAC
2. Take a new number with a new provider - STAC
3. Close your account and disconnect your number

Follow our simple guides below to make sure you follow the correct option:

1 - Transfer your number to a new provider - PAC

If you want to transfer your mobile number to a new provider you'll need a Porting Authorisation Code (PAC) from us. You give the PAC to your new provider which allows the easy transfer of your mobile number. It also cancels your contract with us at the same time.

Please note:

• A PAC is only valid for 30 days. If you don't give it to a new provider within that time you’ll need to request a new one
• You’ll still be a TalkTalk Mobile customer until your number has been transferred over to your new provider. Once the transfer is complete your account with us will be closed and your final bill produced. This will include any charges for usage outside of your free plan. Any subsequent bills will confirm any remaining credits or balance owed
• Your new provider will tell you what day the number transfer is due to take place. It’s usually no more than 48 hours after you’ve given them your PAC
• If you’re still within contract there may be a charge to leave us early
• If you've set up a Direct Debit or recurring payment method, it's important you don't cancel this until your final bill has been paid. This is the easiest way to pay and means we can get any money back to you quickly if you've overpaid.

2 - Take a new number with a new provider - STAC

If you're joining a new provider with a new number and want to cancel your existing one, you'll need a STAC (Service Termination Authorisation Code) from us. You give the STAC to your new provider which instructs us to disconnect your mobile service. This means you'll only be paying for one mobile service with a maximum of one day overlap of line rental.

Please note:

• A STAC is only valid for 30 days. If you don't give it to a new provider within that time you’ll need to request a new one
• You'll continue to be billed until your disconnection date, at which point we will issue a final bill. This will include any charges for usage outside of your free plan. Any subsequent bills will confirm any remaining credits or balance owed.
• If you’re still within contract there may be a charge to leave us early.
• If you've set up a Direct Debit or recurring payment method, it's important you don't cancel this until your final bill has been paid. This is the easiest way to pay and means we can get any money back to you quickly if you've overpaid.
