How to cancel a Virgin Mobile contract early
When you signed up for a Virgin Mobile plan, you will have committed to taking the service for a minimum amount of time. We call this a minimum period, minimum term or minimum commitment period.
If you want to end your contract before this minimum term has finished, you may need to pay an Early Disconnection Fee.
We’ll have let you know how long your minimum term is for when you took out your plan. You can also see how long you have left on your minimum term in Your Account.
If you’d like to cancel early, you’ll need to talk to one of our agents. Call us for free on 789 from your Virgin Mobile or call 0345 6000 789* from any other phone.
What are Virgin Mobile’s early cancellation fees
All Pay Monthly plans come with a minimum term. We’ll have let you know how long your minimum term is for when you took out your plan. To see how long you have left on your minimum term do to Your Account.
If you’ve reached the end of your minimum term already then all you’ll need to pay is your final bill. However, if you decide to end your Virgin Mobile contract early, you may need to pay some additional fees. These Early Disconnection Fee will not be more than the charges you would have paid for the services for the remainder of the minimum period less any costs we save, including the cost of no longer providing you with the services.
For details on how we work out any Early Disconnection fee, choose which Pay Monthly plan you have from the options below:
Right to Cancel without an Early Disconnection Fee
Sometimes you may have the right to cancel before the end of your minimum term without paying an Early Disconnection Fee, for example if we make certain changes to your terms or prices. We’ll always tell you if this is the case.
Freestyle handset payments
When you have a Freestyle plan, your airtime plan and your handset payments are provided under separate contracts.
When you leave us, we’ll end your airtime plan payments at the end of your 30-day notice period.
Your handset payments will continue to the end of your loan agreement, or you can arrange to pay the full balance of your handset loan in one go if you like.
You’ll need to pay your final bill when you leave. You can view your latest bill anytime by visiting Your Account or on the Virgin Mobile app.
