Cancellation 2Degrees: Easy Method
What is 2Degrees
2Degrees (Two Degrees Mobile Limited) is a New Zealand-based mobile network operator and service provider offering mobile plans, interest-free device purchases, and related account services. It provides customer billing, device financing and app-based account management; the company’s published policies and guarantees are aimed at New Zealand customers and reference processes for returns and certain refunds.
How to cancel 2Degrees
- If you need to cancel a mobile plan or an interest-free device purchase, call 2Degrees on 0800 022 022 as soon as possible - to exercise the short cancellation window for purchases you must call within 7 days of purchase. If you have a Pay Monthly or Business plan covered by the Network Guarantee, ask about returning any interest-free phone and the conditions for refunds. For more detail see the 2Degrees return and Network Guarantee pages: Returns & making a return and Network Guarantee.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel a 2Degrees service the account and related service access will be scheduled for termination; this can include immediate loss of voice, text and mobile data. If you have an interest-free device, termination or cancellation may require you to return the device in the required condition or to pay the outstanding device balance. Services that renew automatically will stop at cancellation, and any stored data, voicemail or online account settings may be removed - back up anything you need before cancelling. Termination may also leave usage charges, overages, roaming or add-on fees outstanding; those may still appear on a final bill.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds depend on the route and timing. Under the Network Guarantee (applicable to eligible consumer Pay Monthly and Business plans) you may return an interest-free phone in “like-new” condition to receive a refund of plan fees and the device balance, but that does not cover add-ons, overage, roaming, short codes, tablets/iPads and certain other surcharges; refunds can take up to three weeks after the final bill. If you cancel a mobile plan or device purchase within the short 7-day purchase window you must call 0800 022 022 to request cancellation, and terminating the plan may still incur usage charges. For apps or games charged via a 2Degrees-billed Google Play account, Google Play may issue automatic refunds within two hours of purchase (one automatic refund per app). 2Degrees’ publicly available material does not identify a standard 14‑day cooling-off period or a Canada-specific statutory refund right.

Your consumer rights in Canada
2Degrees’ published material does not set out Canada-specific consumer statutory rights such as a 14‑day cooling-off period. Canadian consumer protections vary by province and by the type of purchase; for example, app-store purchases normally have refund processes managed by Apple or Google rather than the carrier, and banking/card chargeback rules can sometimes help where a merchant does not resolve a dispute. If you are in Canada, check provincial consumer protection agencies, your card issuer’s dispute process, and the app store refund options (Apple/Google) for purchases billed through those platforms. This guide is informational and not legal advice; consult a consumer protection office or legal advisor for formal guidance.
Customer experiences
User reports are mixed. App descriptions highlight useful features such as usage graphs, bill overviews and Wi‑Fi diagnostics, but independent reviews and forums commonly report problems: Trustpilot entries raise recurring issues with unreliable connections, billing problems and poor customer support (long waits and poor follow-through); third-party app review services cite crashes and payment failures; and community threads (e.g., Reddit) describe difficulty cancelling, continued billing after cancellation, billing discrepancies and credit-report concerns. These accounts indicate some customers have smooth experiences, while others face frustrating billing and support interactions.
Documentation checklist
- Purchase receipt or order confirmation, contract or plan details, account number and phone number; call reference numbers and the date/time of any cancellation calls; photos of the device (front, back, IMEI/serial) showing “like‑new” condition if returning a phone; final bill(s) and itemised charges; proof of registered mail or courier delivery when sending documents or device returns; screenshots of app or in-account confirmations.
Common mistakes
Common errors include not calling within the required 7‑day purchase window to cancel an interest-free device purchase, failing to obtain and keep call reference numbers or written confirmation of cancellation, not photographing a device before returning it (important for proving “like‑new” condition), and assuming add-ons, overage or roaming charges will be refunded. Other frequent issues are not checking how purchases were billed (carrier-billed vs. app-store billed) and failing to follow up in writing if a phone cancellation was only attempted by phone; without written proof it can be harder to resolve later disputes.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Calling 0800 022 022 within 7 days | Possible partial refund or cancellation of purchase; usage charges may apply | Low - Medium (must meet time window and keep call reference) |
| Network Guarantee return (Pay Monthly/Business) | Refund of plan fees and device balance if device returned “like‑new”; excludes add‑ons/overage/roaming | Medium (must meet condition requirements and return device) |
| Google Play app purchase refund | Automatic refund within ~2 hours (limited, one auto-refund per app) | Low (time-limited and restricted) |
| Registered mail cancellation letter | Varies (depends on account status and whether return conditions are met) | Medium - High (slower, but provides proof of delivery) |
After cancelling
After you cancel, monitor your account and bank/credit-card statements for any further charges and check that a final bill has been issued and matched to your expectations. If you returned a device under the Network Guarantee, allow up to three weeks after the final bill for refunds to be processed. For app purchases billed via Google Play, use Google Play billing support and keep screenshots of the purchase and refund confirmation. If charges continue or disputes remain, keep your call references and proof of registered mail, contact your card issuer for a charge dispute if necessary, and consider contacting a provincial consumer protection agency.
