How to cancel Xfinity, Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile

For cell service you rarely have to cancel at all: porting your number to a new carrier closes the old line. Internet and cable are harder — expect retention offers, and don't forget the equipment.

Pick your service

Port your number instead of cancelling

Ask your current carrier for a Number Transfer PIN, give it to the new carrier, and the old line closes when the port completes. See Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Phone payment plans stay due.

Internet and cable

Xfinity often routes cancellations to retention agents. Ask explicitly to cancel, get a confirmation number and end date, and return the modem and boxes with a receipt.

FAQ

Do I need to cancel before switching carriers?

No — cancelling first can lose your number. Port it, and the old line closes on its own.
