• Go to "My Account", tap "Terminate my account" and follow the on-screen instructions.
• Account remains active until the renewal date; you can reactivate within 12 months using the same email (otherwise you may lose your number).

• One‑month plans cannot be canceled mid‑term but can be paused anytime in the app.

What happens when you cancel

Account status and access

After you confirm cancellation the account remains active until the renewal (billing) date shown in your account.

During that remaining period you keep service access and any unused allowances unless otherwise stated.

Number, wallet and reactivation

• You can reactivate the same account within 12 months using the same email; otherwise you may lose the phone number.
• Remaining wallet credit is refundable on termination (see refunds section).

Will I get a refund?

Device returns and cooling-off

Devices purchased can be returned within a 3‑day cooling‑off period if they remain in original sealed condition.

Opened or damaged packaging will make the device ineligible for a refund; defective but intact devices may be exchanged for the same model within 3 days.

Service and payment refunds

• Service payments (unused airtime/data) are refundable within 14 days, less any usage incurred before cancellation.
• If you were charged incorrectly, open a chat with care to apply for a refund; follow up if timelines slip.
• If a SIM or service was bought from a third‑party retailer, that retailer’s return policy applies.

Common mistakes

Timing errors

Trying to cancel a 6‑ or 12‑month plan before the final month without contacting support can lead to rejection or confusion.

Return and refund errors

Opening device packaging and then expecting a full refund breaches the 3‑day sealed‑package condition.

Assuming refunds are immediate: service refunds can take up to 14 days and sometimes longer if disputes involve banks or third parties.
