How to cancel Talkmobile

Options for cancelling

You can cancel by phone, through your online account (if available) or by sending a written cancellation request to the provider's postal address.

For customers in New Zealand, phone and online options are usually the fastest. Written requests provide a paper record and may be required for formal disputes.

Step-by-step cancellation

• Check your contract terms and any minimum term or notice period before cancelling.
• Contact Talkmobile customer service by phone or log in to your online account to request cancellation and confirm the effective date.
• If you want proof, send a signed written cancellation letter to the postal address (see Address section below) and keep a copy and proof of postage.
• If you need to keep your number, request a PAC (porting authorisation code) or equivalent before finalising cancellation.
• Confirm any final charges, early termination fees or outstanding balances and arrange payment to avoid collections action.

What happens when you cancel

Service access

Service typically continues until the cancellation date you agree with Talkmobile or until the end of any required notice period. Your SIM may stop working immediately if the account is closed without notice.

If you requested to keep your phone number, the provider will give a porting code or instructions to transfer the number to a new provider.

Account closure and data

After cancellation, Talkmobile will usually retain billing and account records for a period required by law or their policies. Personal data handling follows their privacy policy.

Request copies of important records (final bill, payment receipts, porting code) before the account is closed if you may need them later.

Will I get a refund?

Refund policy

Refunds depend on Talkmobile’s terms and the type of plan. Prepaid credit is typically non-refundable once used. Monthly plan refunds for unused days may be limited.

If you cancel partway through a billing cycle, Talkmobile’s policy will determine whether you receive a pro rata refund or a credit.

Exceptions and timing

• Refunds may be available for billing errors or wrongful charges; always raise these promptly in writing.
• Early termination fees can reduce or eliminate any refund owed.
• Allow reasonable processing time; refunds may take several billing cycles or bank processing days to appear.

Typical plan types

Talkmobile sells pay monthly plans, SIM-only bundles and pay-as-you-go options. Specific allowances and prices change over time.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Cancellation rights

New Zealand law does not generally provide an automatic cooling-off period for telecom contracts unless specifically included in the contract. Check the terms you agreed to for any stated right to cancel.

If a service was misrepresented or not delivered, you can seek remedies under NZ consumer protection law.

Relevant laws and remedies

• The Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) applies to services supplied in New Zealand and requires services to be provided with reasonable care and skill.
• The Fair Trading Act prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct and false representations in trade.
• If you cannot resolve a dispute directly, use the Commerce Commission, Consumer Protection NZ resources or dispute resolution schemes listed below.

Customer experiences

Common feedback

Customer reviews for Talkmobile are mixed. Positive notes often cite low-cost bundles and straightforward pay-as-you-go options.

Negative feedback frequently mentions billing disputes, delays in porting numbers and slower customer service response times during busy periods.

What to watch for

Watch for unexpected charges, promotional prices that increase after an initial period, and any terms tied to long minimum commitments.

Keep records of all communications and confirmations to support any complaint or refund request.

Documentation checklist

Must-have items

• Account number and registered phone number.
• Proof of identity (if requested) and proof of purchase or contract.
• Written cancellation request or confirmation number from phone/online cancellation.

Optional helpful items

• Final bill and recent payment receipts.
• Evidence of misrepresentation or service faults (screenshots, emails).
• Postal proof (tracked postage receipt) if you send a written cancellation.

Common mistakes

Missing notice periods

Many customers assume they can cancel immediately without checking the minimum term or required notice period. This can lead to unexpected final charges or termination fees.

Not requesting number porting

Failing to request a PAC or porting code before cancellation may result in losing your phone number. Always request porting details in advance if you wish to keep your number.

Poor record keeping

Not keeping written proof of cancellation or confirmation numbers makes disputes harder to resolve. Always save emails, screenshots and postal receipts.
