How hard is it to cancel Elisa?

Most Elisa subscriptions (mobile, broadband, digital services) can be cancelled via the OmaElisa self-service portal under 'Terminate contract'; some services (Elisa Viihde with set-top box, cable TV) require contacting customer service by phone or in person. The notice period is 14 days for phone and internet subscriptions and 30 days for most other digital services (security, cloud storage, email, home network); fixed-term contracts can only be cancelled at the end of their term. A final invoice is issued for outstanding charges after cancellation; EU-mandated 14-day withdrawal right applies to distance-sold contracts. Refund/proration terms for ongoing billing cycles are not explicitly detailed on the cancellation page.

How to cancel Elisa

• Channels: online (self-serve), phone, in person
• Official cancellation page: https://elisa.fi/asiakaspalvelu/sopimukset/irtisanominen/
• Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause or freeze option is documented for Elisa consumer subscriptions.
• Account/data deletion: Customers can request deletion of personal data by contacting Elisa's Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or via OmaElisa chat. Elisa states it deletes personal data when no longer needed after the customer relationship ends; retention duration varies by legal obligation (e.g. billing records). No automated self-service deletion form exists. https://elisa.fi/tietosuoja/

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.
