How hard is it to cancel TIM (Telecom Italia)?
TIM (Telecom Italia) scores 61/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the IT, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, online (self-serve), postal mail, email, in person.
TIM customers can cancel via phone (187 for fixed, 119 for mobile), through the MyTIM online account area (multi-step, not a single-click button), at authorized TIM stores, by registered letter to Casella Postale 111, 00054 Fiumicino (RM), or by PEC email to [email protected]. The notice period is 30 days for broadband/internet services and 15 days for voice-only fixed lines; cancellation takes effect no later than 30 days from receipt of the request. A deactivation fee of approximately €25-€30 applies for fixed-line termination if cancelled within the contract term (12 or 24 months); for migrations to another operator the fee is €0; mobile contract cancellations incur approximately €5. Under Italian consumer law (Codice del Consumo) and the EU Electronic Communications Code, customers may withdraw without penalty within 30 days when TIM unilaterally modifies contract conditions, and a 14-day right of withdrawal (ripensamento) applies to contracts concluded remotely or off-premises.

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.
