If you switched to Sprint to get away from T-Mobile, then T-Mobile is like an ex that you just can’t shake. You might be hopeful that the class action lawsuit can undo the 2020 T-Mobile-Sprint merger.

But sometimes the best way to deal with an ex (wireless service provider), is to cut and run. And the only way to cancel is to call T-Mobile:

  • Dial 611 from your T-Mobile phone
  • Call T-Mobile Customer Care: 1-800-937-8997

If you want to cancel the T-Mobile services of someone who passed away, then you can call this number instead: 1-877-746-0909

As mentioned above, the only way to cancel your T-Mobile Services is to call T-Mobile by dialing 611 from your T-Mobile phone or calling T-Mobile Customer Care at 1-800-937-8997

However, you can’t close your T-Mobile account if you leave any plans active. So be sure to tell T-Mobile to cancel these plans as well:

  • Tablet Data Plans
  • Smartwatch Plans
  • Hotspot Data Plans

To confirm that your account was successfully closed, call 1-855-977-5086. Make sure you have your T-Mobile PIN on hand.

You’ll need to confirm that your account has been canceled successfully before the end of your current billing period unless you want to pay for an extra month of service.
