Cancellation Starhub: Easy Method
What is Starhub
StarHub is a Singapore-based telecommunications and pay-TV provider that offers mobile, broadband, and streaming services, including the StarHub TV+ app and video-on-demand offerings. In Canada, users most commonly interact with StarHub through apps distributed on Google Play and the Apple App Store or via direct billing arrangements that may be tied to a carrier or StarHub account.
How to cancel Starhub
- Google Play (Android): Open the Google Play app or visit wallet.google.com, go to Subscriptions → Manage for the StarHub app → Cancel subscription. Cancelling stops future billing but your subscription typically remains active until the end of the current billing cycle.
- App Store (iOS): On your iPhone/iPad go to Apple ID settings → Subscriptions → select the StarHub app → Cancel Subscription. Apple manages subscription cancellations and refunds via your Apple ID.
- Web / Direct (StarHub site or carrier billing): If the subscription or recurring charge was set up directly with StarHub or billed through your carrier, contact StarHub customer service. StarHub often requires speaking to an agent and may not provide a self‑service cancellation option.
- Recurring GIRO services (termination of bank GIRO): For formal termination of recurring GIRO instructions, send a written termination request by registered mail (see address at the end) and retain postal tracking and proof of delivery.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel a subscription via Google Play or the App Store, future billing is stopped but access generally continues until the end of the paid period you already paid for. For purchases billed directly by StarHub or via carrier billing, cancellation procedures and effective dates vary and often require confirmation from StarHub. Any account data, watch history, or downloaded content availability depends on the specific service terms; access may be removed at the end of the billing period or immediately for some services. Keep copies of confirmation emails, screenshots of cancellation screens, and any reference numbers provided by support.
Will I get a refund?
Refund entitlement depends on how you paid and the store used. Purchases made through Google Play for apps and games may be eligible for a full refund if requested within about 2 hours of download (Google Play policy). Purchases billed via StarHub’s “Collect on Behalf” / direct carrier billing are generally not refundable according to StarHub’s stated policies. Apple‑store refunds are handled through Apple and follow Apple’s refund processes; you must request refunds from Apple for App Store purchases. Canadian consumer law does not create an automatic 14‑day cooling‑off right that overrides these provider or store policies for digital subscriptions - StarHub’s policies limit refunds as described.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Consumer protection in Canada varies by province and generally requires clear, transparent refund and return policies from businesses. For digital subscriptions and in‑app purchases there is no uniform federal 14‑day cooling‑off period that forces providers to refund; instead, providers and app stores set the practical refund rules. In practice, this means Google Play’s short refund window and StarHub’s “no refunds for carrier billing” stance apply unless the store or provider expressly offers a broader policy.
Customer experiences
User reviews and feedback are mixed but tend to show friction points. Commonly reported problems include difficulty obtaining refunds or only partial refunds after lengthy communications, long hold times or inconsistent responses from customer service agents, and reports of continued billing after attempted cancellations. There are also complaints about service quality in some cases - connectivity, activation delays, and equipment collection issues - so it is important to retain documentation and confirmation when you cancel or return equipment.
Documentation checklist
- Account identifier(s): StarHub account number, email, phone number tied to service.
- Purchase proof: receipts, store order IDs (Google Play or Apple), and payment transaction dates.
- Cancellation proof: screenshots of cancellation confirmation, emails, chat transcripts, or reference numbers.
- Communications log: dates/times of calls, names of agents, case or ticket numbers.
- Equipment return details (if applicable): return authorizations, shipping tracking numbers, and the carrier receipt.
- Registered mail evidence for GIRO termination: proof of posting and delivery receipt.
Common mistakes
Customers often try to cancel through the wrong channel - for example, asking StarHub for a refund when the subscription was purchased through Google Play or Apple, where the store controls refunds. Another frequent error is assuming Canadian consumer cooling‑off rules guarantee a refund for digital subscriptions; they usually do not. Failing to keep cancellation confirmation or not tracking returned equipment can lead to continued charges. Also, neglecting to follow up on customer‑service promises or not using registered mail for formal GIRO termination can delay or complicate the process.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play (Android) | Refund possible (full refund within ~2 hours for app/game downloads); subscription cancellations stop future billing but remain active until period end | Low - self‑service via Google Play app or Google Wallet |
| App Store (iOS) | Refunds handled by Apple - request via your Apple ID/App Store support | Low - self‑service via Apple ID subscriptions |
| Web / Direct (StarHub site or carrier billing) | Generally no refunds for carrier/direct billing; exceptions depend on StarHub review | High - requires contacting StarHub customer service, possible waits and case handling |
| Recurring GIRO termination (written) | No refund implied; this is a termination method for future payments | Moderate - High - requires registered mail and processing time |
After cancelling
After you cancel, keep confirmation emails, screenshots, and any case or ticket numbers until you have verified there are no further charges. If you need refunds or dispute charges, start with the store that processed the payment (Google Play or Apple) and escalate to StarHub support if billed directly. Helpful links: Google Play subscriptions (Manage subscriptions), Google Wallet (wallet.google.com), Apple Support for subscriptions (support.apple.com), and StarHub support (starhub.com).
