Who this guide is for

This guide is for customers in Nigeria or travellers dealing with Mobily accounts or roaming charges who need to cancel service or clarify next steps.

It covers how to cancel, likely consequences, documentation to prepare, and local consumer-rights references for Nigeria.

How to cancel Mobily

Primary cancellation methods

• Contact Mobily customer support by phone or web chat to request cancellation; ask for a reference number.
• Use your Mobily online account or the mobile app (if available for your subscription) to submit a cancellation request.
• Send a written cancellation by email or postal mail to the address provided by Mobily when an in-person or formal notice is required.

Step-by-step cancellation checklist

• Locate your account number, SIM/phone number and recent bill before contacting support.
• Contact support and clearly state “cancel my service” and confirm the effective cancellation date.
• Ask about final charges, early termination fees, refunds and whether you can keep or port your number.
• Obtain a cancellation reference or confirmation in writing and keep all correspondence.
• If required, return any rented equipment and request a receipt for returned items.

What happens when you cancel

Service and access

Canceling typically stops voice, SMS and data access at the effective cancellation time or at the end of the current billing cycle.

Any active data bundles or time-limited promotions will usually end and unused allowances may be forfeited.

Billing and final charges

You may receive a final bill that includes pro-rated charges, outstanding usage and termination fees where applicable.

Confirm whether roaming charges, international calls or third-party charges appear on the final invoice and retain records for disputes.

Number retention and porting

Number portability and the ability to retain or transfer a number after cancellation depend on the account type and cross-border rules.

Ask Mobily specifically whether your number can be ported to another operator and the timeframe for porting requests.

Will I get a refund?

General refund policy considerations

Refund eligibility depends on your contract terms: prepaid balances, postpaid billing cycles and promotional credits are treated differently.

Many operators do not refund consumed or expired services; refunds are more likely for overbilling or errors.

Common exceptions and steps to request a refund

• Refund may be possible for billing errors or accidental charges - gather proof and contact support quickly.
• Prepaid remaining balance refunds are often limited or processed as credit unless local rules require cash refunds.
• For dispute resolution, escalate with Mobily, then to the Nigerian authorities listed below if unresolved.

Documentation to support refund claims

Keep receipts, screenshots of charges, the final bill and any chat/email confirmation showing overcharges or errors.

File the refund request promptly and ask for a written timeline and reference number for follow-up.

Mobily plans and pricing

Available plan categories

Mobily offers prepaid, postpaid and roaming services; specific plan names and features vary by market and time of purchase.

For customers in Nigeria, roaming rate examples have been reported in Saudi Riyals for some services, but local EUR-denominated plans were not found.

Current published pricing

Public pricing for Mobily services in Nigeria is not presented in EUR on official sources; use the operator’s published pages for live rates.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria

Regulatory authorities

Nigeria’s primary regulators for communications and consumer protection include the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).

These bodies handle service quality, disputes, unfair contract terms and certain cross-border consumer issues.

Key consumer rights

You generally have the right to clear billing information, to challenge incorrect charges, and to access complaint procedures with your provider.

Consumers also have rights regarding unfair contract terms and may escalate unresolved issues to the FCCPC or NCC for investigation.

How to escalate a dispute

• First raise the issue with Mobily customer service and request written outcomes.
• If unresolved, file a complaint with NCC (for telecom issues) or FCCPC (for consumer protection and unfair practices).
• Keep all documentation, reference numbers and timelines when escalating to regulators.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some customers report reliable data speeds and straightforward cancellation when following the formal process and keeping confirmations.

Customers who use official channels and obtain written confirmations tend to report smoother resolutions.

Common complaints

Frequent negative reports include billing disputes, unexpected roaming charges and delays in receiving written cancellation confirmation.

Delays or language barriers can increase frustration for international customers; persistence and documentation help resolve issues.

Takeaways from reviews

• Always request a written cancellation reference and final invoice.
• Monitor post-cancellation billing for unexpected charges and escalate immediately if needed.
• Use official channels and regulator support if communication stalls.

Documentation checklist

Must-have identity and account proof

• Valid government ID or passport used on the account.
• Account number, mobile number or customer reference.
• Recent bill showing charges and billing cycle.

Supporting documents for disputes or refunds

• Payment receipts, bank or card statements showing payments.
• Screenshots or copies of chat/email confirmations and cancellation requests.
• Equipment return receipts if you were issued or rented hardware.

Common mistakes

Not securing written confirmation

Relying on verbal confirmation is risky; always ask for a written cancellation confirmation and a reference number.

Without written proof, disputes over effective dates or final charges become harder to resolve.

Missing contractual details

Customers sometimes overlook early termination fees, minimum commitments or auto-renew clauses in contracts.

Always review the contract’s cancellation section before initiating the process to avoid surprises.

Failing to return equipment or clear auto-pay

Not returning rented equipment or forgetting to cancel automatic payments can lead to ongoing charges after cancellation.

Check equipment return policies and stop any recurring payments tied to the account.

After cancelling

Immediate post-cancellation steps

Turn off auto-pay instructions with your bank or card provider to prevent accidental charges.
