What happens when you cancel
Service access and billing
Your service typically remains active during the 30-day notice period unless otherwise stated in your contract.
Final charges may include outstanding usage, outstanding device payments, or early termination fees if applicable.
Data, SIM and equipment
Your mobile number, data access and any included services will stop once the cancellation date is reached as per your notice.
If you rented equipment, return it within 30 days to avoid collection or replacement fees.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy for services
There is generally no broad 14-day cooling-off period for Eir service contracts; cancellations and refunds are governed by the contract terms.
Refunds for service fees are limited and depend on the agreement, timing and whether equipment is returned as required.
Exceptions and store purchases
- Refunds for service contracts are uncommon and often require prompt equipment return and contract compliance.
- Accessories and hardware purchased via the Eir Store have a statutory-like 14-day right to cancel if returned in original condition; see the Eir Store returns policy for details.
See Eir Store returns: Eir Store - Delivery & Returns.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Rights for store purchases
Eir Store outlines a 14-day returns period for hardware and accessories when items are unused and in original packaging.
If buying goods, check the Eir Store policy and any shipping/import terms that apply to your location.
Rights for services and contracts
Service contracts with Eir do not typically include a statutory 14-day cooling-off; your cancellation rights depend on the contract terms.
South African consumers should compare the seller's returns and contract terms with local consumer law before relying on refund expectations.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some customers report helpful, professional support in isolated cases; for example, an agent named Jordan received praise for resolving a complex issue.
Positive experiences are less commonly reported but do occur.
Common complaints
- Frequent reports of long wait times, unhelpful or rude staff and difficulty making contact.
- Many customers describe trouble or obstruction when attempting to cancel services.
- Billing disputes, unexpected charges and early termination disagreements are regularly cited.
For user reviews and trends, see: Eir reviews on Trustpilot and Eir reviews (Ireland) on Trustpilot.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before you cancel
- Your account number and registered contact details.
- Your contract or terms and conditions showing notice period and early termination terms.
- Proof of identity used on the account (ID/passport) if required.
Documentation to keep as proof
- Phone cancellation reference number and name of the agent.
- Copies of any cancellation email or chat transcript.
- Registered post receipt and proof of delivery if you send a letter.
- Evidence of equipment return (tracking, courier receipt).
Common mistakes
Missing notice period
Not giving the required 30 days' notice can lead to an extra billing cycle or early termination charges.
Always check your contract for the exact notice requirement and calendar dates before cancelling.
No proof of cancellation or equipment return
Relying on a verbal cancellation without a written reference often causes disputes.
Failing to return rented equipment within 30 days commonly triggers replacement or late fees; keep return receipts and tracking.
