Contract cancellation due to moving abroad

vor 4 Jahren

Hello, I moved to Germany 2 years ago with 2-year of working contract. I got myslef a phone number with a 2-year contract. The time when I got my contract responsible person told me that whenever I get my de-registration paper, I can easily cancel my contract. I do not speak German so I believed that they explained me. Today I went to same store to cancel my contract as I am permanently leaving Germany this Friday and just got my de-registration paper (PS: earliest you can get it 7 days before you leave - that’s the rule). They told me this is not an issue and immediate cancellation can be done via Internet. So, I went to Telekom website with special notice of moving to abroad. It says only possible after 3 MONTHS! This is non-sense. I am requested a proof of leaving the country which I can get only 7 days before I leave and at the same time they say I need to pay 3 more months of my bill. This is unfair. Then you can just tell people de-register no matter what is the excuse. I am leaving and not coming back. I have an official letter. And nobody is helping unbelievable. I am calling the hotline continuously saying English and cannot find anybody to speak. I requested a colleage to call and even the person on the phone could not believe for moving abroad the system asks for 3-month notice. You cannot have the proof before 3 months!!!!! How this can happen???

      3 months notice is the rule according to Telekommunikationsgesetz TKG (telecommunications bill). This is the same for all providers and is codified in law.

      Read §46 TKG

       three month is correct

      it is actually possible to terminate the contract directly when moving abroad

      there is a big difference between landline and mobile !

      landline: 6 days

      mobile: 3 months

      @Nico B. Hello Nico, I received an e-mail that Telekom accepted my cancellation of contract as of 31.12.2021. As it is in German I translated it via a tool and I am not sure if I understood everything correctly. Would that be possible for you to help me to understand is there anything I need to do further or should I just pay my bills until the end of December? Or even can we cancel it earlier? I already moved back to my country and not using my Telekom number anymore. Thank you in advance!

      @ceren.yesil,

      your contract will be cancelled on the 31st of December 2021.
      You will be paying the outstanding fees though.

      Kind regards
      Nico B.

      Use of Utiq technology powered by your telecom operator


      We, Telekom Deutschland GmbH, use the Utiq technology for digital marketing or analytics (as described on this consent notice) based on your browsing activity across our websites, listed here (only if you are using a supported internet connection provided by a participating telecom operator and consent on each website).

      The Utiq technology is privacy centric to give you choice and control.

      It uses an identifier created by your telecom operator based on your IP address and a telecom reference such as your telecom account (e.g., mobile number).

      The identifier is assigned to the internet connection, so anyone connecting their device and consenting to the Utiq technology will receive the same identifier. Typically:

      • on a broadband connection (e.g., Wi-Fi), the marketing or analytics will be performed based on the browsing activities of consenting household members’.
      • on mobile data, the marketing will be more personalised, as it will be based on the browsing of the individual mobile user only.

      By consenting, you confirm that you have permission from the telecom account holder to enable the Utiq technology on this internet connection.

      You can withdraw this consent anytime via "Manage Utiq" at the bottom of this site or in Utiq’s privacy portal (“consenthub”). For more, see Utiq's privacy statement.
