We're sorry to hear you're thinking about leaving us.
This page will guide you through submitting a cancellation request for your landline service. Please take a few moments to read the important information below before completing the form. It outlines what to expect during the cancellation process, what happens to your number, and how to return any equipment. 
Once you submit the form, we’ll verify your request and send confirmation by email. If anything doesn’t match our records, we’ll let you know what to do next.
 
Think twice before switching off your landline to use a mobile phone. While using a mobile phone to save money might seem like a smart short-term solution, it may not be practical in the long run. As we get older or our needs change, relying solely on a mobile can become a challenge. Mobile phones can be misplaced, forgotten, or run out of battery, especially in emergencies. And in some cases, health or mobility issues may make using a mobile more difficult. A stable, always-on 4G telephone line can be a vital connection to friends, family, and essential services. If you disconnect your home number and later want to switch back to a fixed digital line, that number will no longer be available. Under Ofcom regulations, you only have 30 days after disconnection to reclaim your number; after that, it’s permanently lost. By transferring your home number to Home2Phone 4G service you can secure it for the future, ensuring the flexibility to move it back to a fixed line whenever you need.

How the Process Works
  1. Complete the form below to request a cancellation of your landline service.
  2. Our system will automatically check your request against our records to verify account details and authorisation.
  3. If the request is valid and matches our records, a cancellation will be scheduled and a member of our team will process it.
  4. You'll receive confirmation by email when the cancellation has been scheduled, or instructions if further action is needed (e.g. additional verification).
