Last reviewed 2026-06-06 · Documented-Policy tier · grade C

Movistar Mexico customers can request line cancellation via phone (*611 or 800 888 8366), WhatsApp, the movistar.com.mx website, the Mi Movistar app, or in person at a Movistar store; identity verification (full name, address, date of birth, RFC) is required regardless of channel. For postpaid contracts without a mandatory term, only accrued service charges are due; contracts with a fixed term (plazo forzoso) also incur an early-termination penalty and any remaining device balance. If a credit balance exists at cancellation, Movistar returns it within 5 business days; outstanding balances must be settled by the deadline on the last issued invoice. No voluntary service pause or freeze is offered to consumer subscribers.

Evidence

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.
