Cancel Asda Mobile: Easy Method
What is Asda Mobile
Overview
Asda Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator associated with the Asda retail brand, offering SIMs, top-ups and bundles. It primarily publishes terms and pricing in GBP and operates under Asda Stores Limited.
How it applies to New Zealand customers
Asda Mobile does not appear to publish New Zealand‑specific plans or prices; any NZ customers should expect UK‑centric terms. For consumer protections in New Zealand, local law still applies to your purchase and service experience.
How to cancel Asda Mobile
Cancel online or by phone (website/top-ups/bundles)
- Find your account details and purchase date in the Asda Mobile web portal or your confirmation emails.
- Contact Asda Mobile customer service via the online account tools or phone and state you want to cancel.
- If cancelling within 14 days of an online/phone purchase you may use the 14‑day cooling‑off right; tell the agent you are exercising that right.
- If you want to keep your number, request a port‑out or PAC code before you cancel or follow the provider porting steps.
In‑store purchases and app purchases
- SIMs, bundles and top‑ups bought in physical stores are non‑refundable under Asda Mobile policy.
- App purchases (App Store / Google Play) are subject to Apple/Google refund rules; contact the platform for those refunds.
What happens when you cancel
Service access and remaining credit
When cancellation is processed your service will stop according to the provider’s end‑of‑service procedures. Any portion of credit or bundles you have already used is not refundable.
Auto‑renewals and number porting
Auto‑renewals generally stop once the account is cancelled; check your account to confirm. If you plan to port your number, obtain the required port code (PAC) before finalising cancellation to avoid losing the number.
Will I get a refund?
Cooling‑off refunds (online/phone purchases)
- Asda Mobile provides a 14‑day cooling‑off period for purchases made via the website or phone; you can cancel if you change your mind within 14 days.
- Within that period you are entitled to a refund of amounts paid, except for any portion of credit or bundles already used.
Important exceptions and app purchases
- SIMs, bundles and top‑ups purchased in‑store are non‑refundable under Asda Mobile’s stated policy.
- Refunds for purchases made through the App Store or Google Play are governed by Apple or Google policies, not Asda Mobile.
- New Zealand consumer rights (see section on local rights) may give you additional remedies if the service is not provided as promised.
Asda Mobile plans and pricing
Pricing summary
Asda Mobile appears to publish pricing in GBP with no clear NZ‑specific plans available for 2024/2025.
Notes about NZ pricing
Because there is no NZ‑specific published pricing, NZ customers should treat plan costs as "Varies" until confirmed by the provider or reseller.
| Plan name | Price (NZD) | Data | Calls / SMS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asda Mobile standard plans | Varies | Varies | Varies | Published in GBP; no NZ‑specific pricing found |
Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA)
Under the CGA, services must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. Suppliers cannot contract out of these rights by saying "no refunds" to avoid statutory obligations.
If the service fails to meet CGA guarantees, you may be entitled to repair, replacement, or refund depending on the problem.
Fair Trading Act and dispute routes
The Fair Trading Act prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct and requires terms to be clear and transparent. If a provider misrepresents refunds or terms you can complain.
If informal resolution fails, you can escalate to Telecommunications Dispute Resolution schemes or seek information from New Zealand consumer authorities.
See: New Zealand consumer advice on mobile services.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Customers praise affordable price plans and good value versus competitors. Trustpilot.
- Users report an easy switch process and success keeping their old number.
- Helpful, courteous customer service and the ability to speak with a real person are frequently mentioned positively.
Negative feedback
- The mobile app has been reported as poorly developed, causing activation and balance issues.
- Some customers note inconsistent network coverage and data speeds in certain areas.
- Problems with auto‑renewal or account management (e.g., chosen auto‑renew stopping) have been reported.
Documentation checklist
What to have ready before you cancel
- Account username/email and any order or SIM purchase reference numbers.
- Date of purchase and proof of payment if you plan to claim a cooling‑off refund.
- Details of any bundles or top‑ups purchased and amounts remaining.
If you want to keep your number (porting)
- Request a PAC/port‑out code from Asda Mobile or follow their porting process before final cancellation.
- Have the receiving provider’s instructions ready and confirm timing to avoid service gaps.
Common mistakes
Mistakes when cancelling
Waiting to request a port‑out code until after cancellation can result in loss of your number. Always request porting details before finalising the cancellation.
Assuming in‑store purchases are refundable under the online cooling‑off rule is a frequent error; Asda Mobile marks in‑store SIMs, bundles and top‑ups as non‑refundable.
Mistakes with refunds and apps
Expecting Asda Mobile to process App Store or Google Play refunds can lead to confusion; these platforms control those refunds. Contact Apple or Google for app purchases.
Not keeping purchase confirmations or payment receipts can slow a cooling‑off refund claim - keep documentation handy.
