Cancellation service #1 in Malaysia
Device Tracker Plus is a mobile phone tracking service sold as a recurring subscription. The service promises live location tracking, automatic place alerts, and full location history, with a 7-day free trial that turns into a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial ends, according to the terms published by the company "Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled in advance" (devicetrackerplus.com/terms).
Many users feel annoyed because the sign-up looks simple, but the cancellation side can be less clear. That frustration is understandable lah, especially when people only notice the charge later on their card statement. The company website identifies the operator as Boston Digital Limited, and the service terms point to England and Wales law rather than Malaysian law for the contract itself (devicetrackerplus.com/terms).
The paid package is built around three features named in the pricing data: Live Location Tracking, Automatic Place Alerts, and Full Location History. In plain language, this means you are paying for ongoing access to tracking tools, not for a one-time device purchase. That distinction matters because recurring access usually keeps billing until you actively stop it.
There is no minimum commitment period stated in the terms, and subscriptions are offered on monthly, quarterly, or bi-annual billing cycles (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). If you signed up during the free trial and forgot to cancel by day 7, the system can move straight into paid renewal. That is the point where many cancellation disputes usually begin.
For Malaysia, there is no clear published local office, local phone support, or confirmed local MYR price list on the official material reviewed. Support is available by email at [email protected], and the company says the support team responds within 24 hours. There is also a cancellation help page at Device Tracker Plus cancellation help.
Pricing is not clearly published in exact local figures, so Malaysian users may see card charges tied to foreign-currency pricing converted by the card issuer. The research data also notes common complaints about dashboard cancellation problems and unexpected charges after attempted cancellation. If you only wanted a short trial, that business model can become expensive very fast.
A lot of people get stressed here because they worry they will lose access too early or still get billed after cancelling. The fastest way to avoid trouble is to prepare three things before cancelling: your billing date, a screenshot of your current plan, and proof of the payment channel you used. Device Tracker Plus can be cancelled through the website account dashboard, through App Store on iPhone, or through Google Play on Android, but only the correct purchase route works properly (devicetrackerplus.com/terms).
Open your latest bank or card statement and look for the charge date. Then log in and capture the subscription page showing your active status. If you started with the 7-day free trial, count the exact final trial day so you cancel before conversion. This step is senang, but skipping it is one of the biggest reasons people miss the deadline.
If you subscribed directly on the Device Tracker Plus website, log in to your account dashboard and follow the cancellation process there. The official terms do not publish every button name, but the practical path is usually Account or Dashboard, then Subscription or Billing, then Cancel Subscription. If the screen gives an error, refresh once, try another browser, and take screenshots of every page that fails.
The official help page is Cancel Device Tracker Plus. Use it while logged in, because support may ask for account details later. If the dashboard does not complete the cancellation, send an email to [email protected] on the same day with your account email, transaction date, last 4 card digits if safe to share, and attached screenshots showing the failed cancellation attempt.
If you subscribed through Apple, cancel in the App Store subscription settings, not on the Device Tracker Plus website. On iPhone, go to Settings, tap your Apple ID name, tap Subscriptions, choose Device Tracker Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. The company terms specifically direct iOS users to App Store account settings and the Subscriptions menu (devicetrackerplus.com/terms).
If you subscribed through Android, open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, tap Payments and subscriptions, tap Subscriptions, choose Device Tracker Plus, and proceed with cancellation. The official terms confirm that Android cancellations should be done inside Google Play under Subscriptions (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). App-store cancellation usually gives better proof because Apple and Google generate a system record.
Device Tracker Plus does not list a customer service phone number, and there is no live chat in the support data. That means email is the main backup channel outside the dashboard and app stores. Use [email protected] and include a short subject line such as "Cancellation request before next billing date" plus your account email and screenshots. The stated response time is within 24 hours.
If you want an extra paper trail, you can also send a written cancellation notice by post to the company address in England once you have it from the service records, though online cancellation is the normal route. Some users now use digital registered delivery tools such as Postclic for timestamped proof of sending and receipt instead of traditional registered mail. It is not the primary route here, but it can help if you expect a dispute later.
User complaints show a pattern of failed cancellations and later charges, so do not rely on one click only. Cancel through the original payment channel, save the confirmation screen, and send a same-day email to support if anything looks unclear. One review claimed, "I signed up, tried to cancel immediately but have been charged for 18 months since" (TrustPilot). That is exactly why your evidence matters.
If you are within 24 hours of renewal and the page keeps failing, act on all available channels on the same day. For example, cancel in App Store or Google Play if that was the purchase route, email support, and keep screenshots with date and time visible. In Malaysia, this kind of record makes a complaint much easier if you later need your bank, KPDN, or TTPM.
Device Tracker Plus states that subscriptions renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled in advance (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). In practical terms, cancellation usually stops the next renewal rather than ending access immediately. If your monthly billing date is the 25th and you cancel on the 18th, you would normally expect access until the 25th.
The company does not clearly publish a separate Malaysia-specific rule on early loss of access after cancellation. Because of that, treat the current paid period as active unless the app or store screen says otherwise. Save the cancellation timestamp and watch your account status until the end date passes.
If you do not cancel, the subscription auto-renews on the same billing cycle. The terms say there is no minimum commitment duration, but monthly, quarterly, and bi-annual plans all continue until you stop them (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). This is where forgotten free trials become paid subscriptions.
Several user reviews mention not noticing the renewal for months. One user wrote, "I tried this 1 time and got set up to a monthly subscription... 18 months later I realized I was still paying for this" (Scam Detector). Put a reminder in your phone calendar on the day you cancel and again three days before the next expected billing date.
The terms reviewed do not explain what happens to stored data or location history after cancellation. There is also no clear export guide in the published material. If your account contains location records you may need, save screenshots or export anything available before you cancel.
This missing data-retention detail matters because once access ends, you may not be able to retrieve old records. If the information is important for insurance, family safety, or a stolen-device report, collect it before the paid period expires. Device Tracker Plus does not clarify this point, so do not assume your history stays available.
Here the position is strict. The terms say trial fees are non-refundable, and subscription fees are non-refundable once the service has been accessed or used (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). That means refunds are likely to be difficult if you logged in, used tracking features, or let the free trial convert to paid use.
The company also does not clearly explain refunds for unused periods or billing errors in the published terms reviewed. So if you cancel halfway through a month, do not expect a pro-rated refund. Honest answer: based on the available terms and user complaints, success rates for goodwill refunds look low.
If you were billed after you already cancelled, ask for a refund immediately and attach proof. Send your request to [email protected] with the cancellation screenshot, charge date, amount, card statement image, and the email address linked to the account. Ask for two things in one message: refund and confirmation that auto-renewal is now fully stopped.
If the charge came through App Store or Google Play, use the store dispute path as well because those systems have their own billing records. Store-based cases can be easier to evidence than direct web billing. State the exact issue clearly, such as duplicate charge, charge after cancellation, or unauthorised recurring payment.
In Malaysia, subscription rights are mainly shaped by the Consumer Protection Act 1999. That law does not give a universal cooling-off period for all online subscriptions. A 10-working-day cooling-off period exists under the Direct Sales and Anti-Pyramid Scheme Act 1993 for direct sales contracts, but many app or online subscriptions may not fall into that category.
So for Device Tracker Plus, your cancellation and refund position mostly depends on the service terms unless the way it was sold brings it within direct-sales rules. If you feel the billing was misleading or the cancellation process was broken, you can still complain to KPDN or file a claim with TTPM. That can or not succeed depends on your evidence, but it is a real local path.
If Device Tracker Plus or the app store does not resolve a charge made after cancellation, contact your issuing bank and dispute the recurring card transaction as unauthorised or wrongly continued. In Malaysia, people usually just call this a chargeback or a disputed card transaction. The common window is around 60 to 120 days from the transaction date or from when you discovered the problem, depending on bank and card-network rules.
Bank Negara Malaysia oversees complaint-handling standards under the Financial Services Act 2013 and the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013. When you speak to the bank, give a clean evidence pack: cancellation proof, support emails, screenshots, and statement entries. If the issue is clear, this route is often stronger than arguing back and forth by email for weeks.
The terms contain the key clause many users miss: "Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled in advance" (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). There is no stated minimum lock-in period, but plans may be monthly, quarterly, or bi-annual. That means the risk is not a penalty fee. The risk is forgetting to stop the next cycle in time.
The free trial lasts 7 days and then converts into a paid plan unless you cancel before it ends (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). If you signed up only to test the tracker, put your cancellation reminder on day 5 or day 6. Waiting until the final hours is where system errors become very costly.
The terms say the applicable law is England and Wales (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). For a Malaysian user, that does not remove your ability to seek practical help from your bank, KPDN, or TTPM when the problem involves payment disputes or poor consumer treatment in Malaysia. It just means the contract itself points to a foreign legal framework.
The same terms do not clearly explain data retention after cancellation or any dispute-resolution process. Those missing points are worth knowing before you subscribe. If the service does not tell you how long your data stays or how complaints are handled, keep your own records from day one.
Plan | Price (USD / MYR) | Billing period | Main features |
|---|---|---|---|
Monthly Subscription | $X.XX (RMX.XX)* | Monthly | Live tracking, alerts, history |
Prices are approximate and converted from USD at 1 USD ≈ 4.72 MYR. Device Tracker Plus does not clearly publish the exact local MYR amount in the reviewed material, so check the official service pages for the final charged figure.
The problem with Device Tracker Plus pricing is not just the amount. It is the lack of a clearly published local MYR figure in the material reviewed. When the exact charge is not transparent up front, Malaysian users can end up spotting the real cost only after the bank posts the transaction.
The terms mention monthly, quarterly, and bi-annual subscriptions, but only one converted pricing line was available in the verified pricing data. Because the company does not publish a full official plan table in the reviewed sources, it is hard to compare savings between billing cycles. If you are not using live tracking regularly, even one extra renewal can wipe out any value fast.
No cancellation fee was found in the terms, and no early termination fee was found either. That is the good news. If you cancel, the usual issue is not a penalty charge but a renewal charge that still goes through because the cancellation did not register properly.
So the practical pricing question is simple: are you still using the tracker enough to justify another month, quarter, or half-year? If not, cancel before the next billing date and keep proof. With this service, avoiding one mistaken renewal is often the biggest saving.
For Malaysian users, the core law is the Consumer Protection Act 1999. It helps on unfair practices and consumer disputes, but it does not create a blanket cooling-off period for every online subscription. A separate law, the Direct Sales and Anti-Pyramid Scheme Act 1993, gives a 10-working-day cooling-off period for direct sales contracts.
For Device Tracker Plus, that 10-working-day rule only clearly helps if the sale fits direct-sales conditions. For normal online app or web sign-ups, your strongest practical tools are the service terms, your cancellation evidence, your bank dispute rights, and local complaint channels such as KPDN and TTPM.
If support does not fix a post-cancellation charge, file a written complaint with KPDN and attach every key document. Include your account email, the cancellation date, screenshots, amount charged, and the support email trail. Be specific. State that the charge happened after cancellation or that the dashboard failed during the cancellation attempt.
If money is involved and you want a formal claim route, TTPM is the consumer claims forum many Malaysians use for smaller disputes. It is generally more approachable than full court action. If the charge was on a bank card, also open the bank dispute immediately so you do not lose the 60 to 120 day window commonly used for chargebacks.
KPDN is the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, and it is the main government body many consumers approach for domestic trade and consumer complaints. TTPM is the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia, used for pursuing a direct claim. The research block also named MCMC, though Device Tracker Plus cancellation and billing disputes usually fit better with KPDN, TTPM, and your bank.
Use KPDN when the issue looks like unfair charging or poor cancellation handling. Use TTPM if you want to pursue the monetary claim more directly. Use your bank if the problem is an unauthorised recurring transaction still hitting your card after cancellation.
Overall rating from the sample: 0 positive and 5 negative reviews out of 5 unique reviews. Based on that pattern, cancellation looks difficult rather than smooth. The recurring complaints are failed dashboard cancellation, charges continuing after cancellation, and weak support response.
Locally relevant issues match the research notes: users report trouble cancelling through the account dashboard and some report unexpected charges after trying to cancel. To be fair, the service idea itself is useful for live phone tracking. The issue is the subscription handling, not the basic concept of device tracking.
Theme | Frequency | Typical example |

If you are already frustrated, slow down for five minutes and build your file. Save a screenshot of the account dashboard, the current subscription page, and the next billing date. If you subscribed through App Store or Google Play, also capture that subscription screen because it proves the payment channel.
Write down the account email, sign-up date, and the amount shown on your latest statement. If a free trial is involved, note the exact day 7 deadline. These details turn a weak complaint into a strong one if support later says it cannot find your account.
For a refund request, the key documents are your transaction ID, charge date, amount, and a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation or failed cancellation page. Add the support email thread and your bank statement line showing the merchant charge. If the amount appears in foreign currency, save that too.
After cancellation, keep the confirmation email and monitor at least the next one or two billing cycles. Several complaints describe charges continuing after an apparent cancellation, so your post-cancel file matters as much as your pre-cancel file. This is boring admin work, but it saves hassle later.
A common mistake is cancelling on the website when the subscription was actually bought through App Store or Google Play. In that situation, the web account may not stop the store billing at all. If you paid Apple, cancel in Apple. If you paid Google, cancel in Google Play.
Real-world example: a user said they cancelled from an Apple device and still saw charges later (AppShunter). That does not prove the store failed, but it shows why you need the App Store cancellation receipt and screenshots. One channel alone is sometimes not enough evidence.
The free trial is 7 days, and if you miss it, the subscription converts into paid billing (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). People often wait until the last few hours, then hit login errors or dashboard issues. By then, support may not respond before billing triggers.
Better approach: cancel on day 5 or day 6 if you already know you do not want it. That gives you time to retry the process and contact support within the stated 24-hour response window. Last-minute cancellation can or not work, but it is a gamble.
Another mistake is assuming you will get money back for unused days in the billing cycle. The terms say subscription fees are non-refundable once the service has been accessed or used (devicetrackerplus.com/terms). So if you cancel halfway through a month, your best-case outcome is usually stopping the next renewal, not getting half the month refunded.
This catches many users because subscription apps often feel flexible. With Device Tracker Plus, the written refund position is much tougher. Ask for a refund if there was a billing error, but do not budget around a pro-rated refund coming through.
Many users click cancel, see a screen change, and assume that is enough. Then a month later they have no screenshot, no email, and no way to show the exact date they stopped it. In a dispute, that missing proof is painful.
Always save the final confirmation page and look for a confirmation email within the same day. If none arrives, send your own email to [email protected] repeating the cancellation date and method used. That creates a time-stamped backup trail.
One review described noticing the charges only after 5 months, with recurring billing around $15 [about RM70.80] per month (App Store). That kind of delay makes refund recovery harder and can push you close to bank dispute deadlines. Check your statement every month, especially after a free trial.
The fastest routine is simple: search your banking app for the merchant name one week after cancellation and again on the next expected billing date. If a new charge appears, open a support ticket and a bank dispute immediately. Do not wait to see if it fixes itself.
Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
Web/account | Before next billing | No fee found | Easy if dashboard works |
App Store (iOS) | 5-10 business days | No fee found | Higher but best proof |
Google Play (Android) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium, store-based |
No single route fits every user because the right method depends on where you originally subscribed. Web cancellation is direct and quick if the dashboard works. App Store gives especially strong proof, while Google Play is usually straightforward for Android subscriptions.
If there is any uncertainty, use the purchase channel plus email support on the same day. That is the most practical neutral approach. The goal is not just to cancel. The goal is to be able to prove later that you cancelled on time.
Right after cancellation, confirm three things within the same day: the subscription status changed, you saved the screen, and you received an email or store record. Then create a calendar reminder for the next billing date. This sounds basic, but it catches most failures early.
If support promised a response within 24 hours and you hear nothing, send one follow-up email with the original screenshots attached again. Use a clear subject line with the billing date. That way, if the next charge lands, you already have a neat evidence trail.
Monitor your bank or card statement for at least the next 2 billing cycles. If a charge appears after cancellation, contact the issuing bank and dispute the recurring transaction as unauthorised or wrongly continued. In Malaysia, the common chargeback window is around 60 to 120 days from the charge date or from when you discovered the problem, depending on bank rules and card network procedures.
These complaints sit within Bank Negara Malaysia's financial consumer protection framework under the Financial Services Act 2013 or Islamic Financial Services Act 2013. Ask the bank what documents it needs and submit them fast. Waiting too long weakens your case even if you are clearly right.
If you still want tracking but no longer trust this subscription model, there are practical alternatives in Malaysia. Apple AirTag 2 is aimed at iPhone users and is priced around RM200 to RM300. Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 suits Samsung Galaxy users and sits around RM150 to RM250.
If you want cross-platform options, Tile Pro is around RM150 to RM200 and Chipolo Pop is around RM100 to RM150. Pebblebee Clip 5 also supports both iOS and Android, with pricing around RM150 to RM200. These are hardware trackers rather than recurring tracker subscriptions, so billing risk is simpler.
No Malaysian physical cancellation address was found in the verified material. The service notes indicate that the postal address linked to the company is in Hertford, England, not in Malaysia. For most users, cancellation is therefore an online process through the account dashboard, App Store, Google Play, or support email.
This matters because some people instinctively look for a local branch or hotline when billing goes wrong. Here, you should not waste time hunting for a Malaysian outlet that is not published. Go straight to the digital channels and preserve proof from the first day.
If you need to refer to a physical address for formal correspondence, ask support to confirm the company mailing details in writing. Then keep that reply together with your cancellation file. If you choose postal notice, send a short letter with your account email, billing date, and explicit request to stop renewal.
For ordinary cancellation, online action is enough if you have evidence. For a serious dispute involving repeat charges, combine the online proof with a bank dispute and, if needed, a complaint to KPDN or a claim through TTPM. That is usually the fastest path for Malaysians dealing with this kind of subscription problem.
