How to cancel TPG
Preferred channels
- Call TPG customer service: 13 14 23 (within Australia) or +61 2 9007 3023 (from overseas).
- Email: send written notice to [email protected] - email counts as written notice for the 30‑day requirement on month‑to‑month plans.

- Postal notice can be sent to the company address (see Address section below).
Step-by-step cancellation (common scenario)
- Gather account details: TPG account number, full name on account, service address, contact phone and email.
- Decide method: email to [email protected], call customer service, or cancel via My Account.
- Provide written notice: month‑to‑month plans require 30 days written notice; mobile service as per service description requires 7 days written notice.
- Confirm any contracted obligations: check your contract for early termination charges (ETC) or outstanding device payments.
- Request confirmation: ask for written confirmation of the cancellation date and any final charges or refunds.
What happens when you cancel
Service access and billing
For month‑to‑month plans, service continues through the notice period and is billed accordingly; email notice typically triggers the 30‑day notice clock.
No pro‑rata refunds are issued for the notice period; you remain responsible for charges through the end of that period unless otherwise stated in your contract.
Contracted plans and equipment
If you are within a fixed‑term contract, early termination charges (ETC) may apply - commonly calculated as remaining monthly fees or outstanding device costs.
Return of equipment: unopened items may be returned within 14 days for a refund (postage/handling may be deducted); opened equipment is usually refundable only if faulty and may be assessed at retail value.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds of unused prepayments and final credit
If you have an unused prepayment balance after the final bill, TPG will refund the balance (services are billed one month in advance in many cases).
Final credits are typically refunded to the original payment method and commonly processed within 3 - 5 business days.
Other refund situations and timeframes
- Billing errors or duplicate charges: refunds available following investigation; typically processed within 5 business days after resolution.
- Faulty equipment: unopened hardware within 30 days refundable or exchange; opened hardware refundable only if proven faulty.
- Digital subscriptions/media: generally non‑refundable for remaining term; cancelled at end of paid period. Physical media may be refundable within 10 calendar days if returned postage‑paid.

Customer experiences
Common positive points

Common negative points

Other feedback cites that cancellations can be time‑consuming and that disputed refunds sometimes require escalation.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before you cancel
- Account number and full account holder name.
- Service address and phone number associated with the account.
- Contract details: start date, end date (if any), and device repayment schedule.
- Payment method details for any refunds and proof of recent payments if disputing charges.
What to request during cancellation
- Written confirmation of cancellation and effective termination date.
- Itemised final bill showing applied refunds, credits or outstanding ETCs.
- Return instructions and timelines for any equipment with RMA or return authorisation.
Common mistakes
Failing to provide proper written notice
Example: emailing a general support address instead of [email protected] may not satisfy the required written notice period.
Always request written confirmation that your message was received and that the notice period has started.
Overlooking contract terms and equipment costs
Example: assuming no fees apply because you are cancelling, while a fixed‑term contract may carry early termination charges or outstanding device balances.
Check your contract for ETC calculations and device repayment terms before cancelling.
