How hard is it to cancel Movistar Colombia?
Movistar Colombia scores 50/100 (grade D) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the CO — a poorly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via phone, in person, in-app, online (self-serve).
Movistar Colombia subscribers may cancel at any time under CRC regulations, but must notify the operator at least 3 business days before the billing cutoff date to avoid an additional billing cycle; submitting 10 business days in advance is recommended. Cancellation is initiated primarily via phone (*611 or 018000930930), WhatsApp (315 233 33 33), the Mi Movistar app/portal, or in-person at an Experience Center — no confirmed single-click self-serve cancel exists online. Contracts with a permanence clause (up to 12 months) carry a proportional early termination fee for the remaining period; without a permanence clause, cancellation is free. Refund terms are not prominently disclosed: the general conditions state that charges are prorated for days the service was active, but no explicit credit-back policy for unused full months is published.

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.
