How to cancel your Vodafone Broadband or Contract

Vodafone Cancellation of a contract is not as difficult as you might think. This article will show you how to cancel your broadband or mobile contract and save money on pesky early termination fees.

How to cancel Vodafone

There are three different methods for Vodafone Cancellation if you've made up your mind to do so. Whether you intend to switch to another network will determine the best method for cancelling your Vodafone service. Whether you want to preserve your Vodafone phone number or start over again with a new one on your next mobile network will also reflect on your preferences.

Here are the three methods:

• PAC Code procedure: If you are switching networks and want to keep your Vodafone number, you will have to use the PAC Code procedure to end your Vodafone contract and transfer your phone number to a new provider.
• STAC Code procedure: If you are switching networks and want to start again with a new phone number, you will have to use the STAC Code procedure to end your Vodafone contract.
• Vodafone Standard cancellation process: If you won't be switching to another cell phone network but still want to cancel your Vodafone contract, you will use the Vodafone Standard cancellation process with a 30-day notice period applied in this case.

PAC Code procedure

The PAC Code procedure has become the most popular method of terminating your contract with Vodafone. This process is also known as the Porting Authorisation Code process. In general, if you want to cancel Vodafone contract to join another mobile network, you should cancel via this technique. If you use the PAC Code method, your phone number will follow you to the new network.

You don't have to give a PAC Code 30 days' notice for Vodafone cancellation. Vodafone may only bill you up to the day your PAC Code is utilised, as long as you are past the required duration of the contract. Early termination costs could still be charged if you're within the minimum contract period.

Vodafone offers PAC Codes in one of the following three ways:

• Online: You can log in on the My Vodafone website to obtain a PAC Code online. Once you log in, click on Account settings > Mobile switching to complete the process.
• Text message: You can request a Vodafone PAC Code by sending a text message. You must text PAC to 65075, and Vodafone will send you a PAC Code.
• By phone: Dial Vodafone to obtain a PAC Code. To do this, dial 191 from your Vodafone phone. Similarly, using any other phone, call 03333 040 191. You must dial Vodafone within business hours (Monday-Friday 8 am-9 pm, Saturday 8 am-9 pm, Sunday 8 am-9 pm).

STAC Code procedure

Vodafone's STAC Code cancellation procedure, also known as Service Termination Authorisation Code, is applied when switching to a different mobile network. With a Vodafone STAC Code, you can restart your new mobile network with a new phone number.

The benefit of utilising a Vodafone STAC Code when you're outside the minimum term of your contract, as opposed to using Vodafone's usual cancellation procedure, is that Vodafone will only be allowed to bill you up until the date your STAC Code is utilised (a 30-day notice period does not apply). An early exit fee could still be charged even if you're inside your contract's minimum term.

Vodafone Standard Cancellation

Use the standard Vodafone cancellation process only if you aren't switching to another mobile network. You'll need to phone Vodafone to stop your contract using the regular cancellation procedure. You will then be required to pay your regular monthly connection fee for the following 30 days.

Contacting Vodafone customer support at (191) will allow you to make a standard cancellation request. Monday through Friday, 8 am to 9 pm; Saturday, 8 am to 9 pm; and Sunday, 8 am to 9 pm.

If you cancel Vodafone contract within the first 14 days, Vodafone may still allow you to do so without any charges, as this may fall under Vodafone Cool Off Period. Early termination fees might not be charged in this situation.
