How hard is it to cancel Drei (3 Austria)?
Drei (3 Austria) scores 62/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the AT — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone, postal mail, in person.
Drei Austria contracts can be cancelled via an online contact form, by post/mail, or in person at a Drei Shop; no fully automated self-serve cancel button exists in the customer portal. The notice period is one month regardless of the minimum contract term (binding period). Early termination before the minimum contract term is permitted but all charges continue to accrue until the end of the binding period with no proration or refund. Refund terms for standard end-of-term cancellations are not explicitly documented on the cancellation help pages.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
