Woman's Persistence Wins €900 Refund in Mobile Contract Cancellation

A woman's persistence has highlighted the importance of understanding mobile phone contract cancellation rights. She successfully ended her iPhone 15 contract, receiving a €900 refund after four years of fighting.

Consumers have the right to cancel online mobile phone contracts within 14 days, similar to other online purchases. This woman exercised her right but faced resistance from her T-Mobile provider. Consumer advocates advise persistence in enforcing such rights.

To cancel a mobile phone contract, address a written notice, preferably via registered mail or email with confirmation, to the contract partner mentioned in the cancellation instructions. This could be the actual mobile network operator or service provider, not just online retailers who might be intermediaries. In case of a dispute, the cancellation notice can serve as proof.

Understanding and exercising cancellation rights is crucial for consumers. This woman's experience underscores the need for persistence in enforcing these rights. Always ensure communication is directed to the correct contractual partner to avoid delays or disputes.
