How hard is it to cancel Movistar?
Movistar scores 58/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the ES — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, online (self-serve), in-app, in person.
Movistar Spain allows cancellation by phone (1004), online via the customer account portal (for contract mobile lines), through the Mi Movistar app (for TV content), or in person at any Movistar store. No advance notice period is required; billing is prorated to the exact cancellation date so customers can cancel at any time mid-cycle. If a permanence commitment exists, a proportional fee through the contract end date is charged; most current plans are advertised with no permanence obligation. Equipment must be returned within 15 calendar days of cancellation to avoid additional charges; outstanding device financing continues until fully amortized.

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.
