Whatever your reasoning, DoNotPay is here to help you plans and overall accounts, so you don't have to stress about it. It doesn't matter if you need to cancel a phone plan, TV packages like BT sport, or your Sky account. DoNotPay is here to help you get it handled promptly. Cancelling should be quick and simple, not frustrating and lengthy.

Does BT Have Cancellation Policies?

Most companies have particular policies about cancelling. Whether you're trying to end your relationship with, Now TV, Virgin Media, or Admiral, you must understand which policies apply. BT's policies are the following:

  • You must provide 30 days' notice to cancel.
  • You will be charged for your service if you cancel before the 30 days.
  • You only need to give 14 days' notice if you switch to a new provider.
  • No notice is required if the account holder passes away, and no minimum days apply.

Can I Cancel My BT Phone Line on My Own?

Yes, you can easily cancel your BT phone line on your own. It isn't as quick as cancelling a Just Eat order, but it can be done promptly if your information is ready and available.

Call BT Customer Service via Landline

The best method for cancelling your BT phone line is calling via a landline phone. You need to provide:

  1. Your name and address and they must match the details on your account.
  2. Your account number.

You can find the correct details on your latest bill. There are only certain hours available for this method. You must call:

  • Between 8 am and 9 pm, Monday through Friday.
  • Between 8 am and 8 pm on Saturdays.
  • Between 9 am and 6 pm on Sundays.

Dial 0800 783 1401 and work your way through the prompts. You may have to wait on hold for a while you can also attempt to reach out to customer service in other ways and see if they can help you cancel via those methods:

How Can I Cancel My BT Phone Line Within the 14-Day Period?

The 14-day period for switching allows you to cancel your phone line if you are changing to an entirely new provider. You will need to call the same customer service number as above. Let BT know you want to cancel because you are switching to a different company, and then wait out the 14-day limit for it to become effective.

Will BT Charge Me a Cancellation Fee?

As long as you cancel within the correct time frame and pay the remainder of your bill, you will not be charged a cancellation fee. However, if you wish to cut your contract immediately, you will be charged a fee by BT. The fee varies depending on the final amount owed and how soon you're cancelling before the time frame is up.
