How to Cancel a Phone Plan or Wireless Contract

Applied to Starz (Website or app) for Fort Worth residents

1
Check your contract for ETF and device balance
Log into your carrier account and look for: remaining device installment balance, early termination fee (ETF) if applicable, and contract end date. These are the main costs of switching.
2
Time your cancellation to minimize fees
Wait until after your billing cycle starts — you pay for the full month regardless. If you have a device installment plan, your final bill will include the remaining device balance.
3
Port your number before canceling
If keeping your number, port it to your new carrier FIRST. Porting automatically cancels your old account. Do NOT cancel before porting — you'll lose your number.
4
Call carrier retention to request cancellation
Call the carrier's cancellation line (not general support). Say: 'I want to cancel my service.' They will transfer you to retention. Decline any offers if you're decided. Ask for cancellation confirmation number.
5
Return any leased devices
If you leased a device (common with newer iPhone plans), you must return it within 30 days or be charged full retail price. Get a return receipt from any carrier store.
