Cancel Eir: Easy Method
What is Eir
Overview
Eir is an Irish telecommunications provider offering broadband, phone and related services in Ireland.
Scope and limitations
Eir operates primarily in Ireland and prices and terms are set for the Irish market.
There is no New Zealand-specific Eir service or local pricing published; customers in NZ will need to contact Eir in Ireland for account matters.
How to cancel Eir
Required notice and main routes
- Give 30 days' notice to cancel broadband or service contracts with Eir.
- Primary cancellation methods include calling 1901 (or 1800 924 409), submitting Eir's online cancellation form, or sending written notice to Eir Customer Value Management.
Alternative methods and practical tips
- Email may sometimes work as written notice but some addresses are reported unreliable; keep proof if you use email.
- If an online form fails, use live chat on eir.ie and save screenshots as evidence.
- Expect long hold times and dropped calls; document all contacts (date, time, agent name or reference number) and keep copies of confirmations.
What happens when you cancel
Service access and termination
After you give notice, Eir typically continues service for the 30‑day notice period unless a different arrangement is agreed.
Access to broadband and account services usually remains until the final termination date.
Renewals, equipment and data
Automatic renewals depend on your contract; check your account or final confirmation for renewal details.
Return any rented or purchased equipment as instructed to avoid collection or chargebacks; keep proof of return postage.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds under Irish/EU rules (for purchases in Ireland)
For online purchases of goods or services from Eir in Ireland, a 14‑day statutory cooling‑off right normally applies; you can cancel within 14 days and receive a full refund.
Eir must refund within 14 days of cancellation but may wait until goods are returned or proof of return is provided.
Exceptions and practical points
- If goods are returned, they must be unused and in original packaging to qualify under the store returns policy.
- Digital content or services may lose cancellation rights once download or streaming starts.
- For monthly services, refunds may be pro‑rated or governed by your contract terms; disputed refunds can be escalated to ComReg (Irish regulator) if needed.
Eir plans and pricing
Plan types
Eir offers a range of broadband and bundled plans aimed at residential and business customers in Ireland.
Specific plan names and features are published on Eir's site for the Irish market.
Pricing summary

| Bundled broadband + phone | Varies | Varies |
Your consumer rights in New Zealand
No automatic EU-style cooling-off for NZ buyers
New Zealand does not provide a general 14‑day cooling‑off right for online purchases that mirrors EU law.
If you buy a service or product in NZ you usually need the seller's stated returns policy unless the item is faulty or misrepresented.
Key statutory protections in New Zealand
- Consumer Guarantees Act: goods and services must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose and as described.
- Fair Trading Act: prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct and false representations.
- Telecom complaints: use the Telecommunications Dispute Resolution (TDR) scheme for unresolved telecom disputes.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some customers report timely engineer visits and helpful staff for specific upgrades or faults.
Positive experiences tend to be isolated when interactions are straightforward and documented.
Negative reports
Many users report long wait times, inconsistent information from agents, billing surprises and difficulties cancelling or getting refunds.
Community posts warn of dropped calls during cancellation attempts and recommend keeping written proof of any cancellation requests.
Documentation checklist
Before you call or write
- Account number, full name on the account and service address.
- Recent bills and any contract or order references.
- Reason for cancellation and desired end date (confirm 30 days' notice).
Proof to keep after you request cancellation
- Call logs, reference numbers and agent names.
- Copies/screenshots of online chat transcripts or form submissions.
- Postal or courier receipts if you return equipment, and emails or written confirmations from Eir.
Common mistakes
Relying on unreliable email addresses
Some customers assume any email address will be accepted as written notice; reports show certain addresses may be inactive.
Always confirm receipt of email cancellation and retain a copy with delivery/read proof where possible.
Stopping direct debit without notice
Some people stop direct debits instead of following contract cancellation steps; this can lead to collections, fees or credit issues.
Follow formal cancellation channels and obtain a confirmation rather than unilaterally stopping payments.
