How hard is it to cancel Straight Talk?
Straight Talk scores 96/100 (grade A) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — among the most clearly documented cancellation policies we've scored. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone.
Straight Talk is no-contract prepaid with no early-termination fee and can be cancelled any time. Cancelling within the first 30 days gives a full refund to the original payment method; after 30 days a prorated refund for unused days. To port out you use the Number Transfer PIN Straight Talk provides plus account info; once the number transfers, the service deactivates immediately and any unused Service Days are lost. Separately, starting a new plan cycle forfeits any unused minutes, data, or Service Days with no refund or credit.

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.
