How hard is it to cancel Vodafone Germany?
Vodafone Germany scores 74/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the DE, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone, postal mail, in-app.
Vodafone Germany provides an online cancellation form ('Einfache Kündigung') at vodafone.de/einfache-kuendigung.html, a multi-field web form (no login required) that satisfies the §312k BGB Kündigungsbutton obligation; cancellation can also be made by phone (mobile: 0800 2030 307; cable/internet: 0800 7239 656), by post to Vodafone GmbH Kundenbetreuung, 40875 Ratingen, or via the MeinVodafone customer portal. The standard notice period is 1 month; after the minimum contract term (typically 24 months) the contract auto-extends to indefinite duration and may be cancelled with 1 month's notice at any time. Refund obligations must be fulfilled within 30 days of receiving the cancellation notice, with pro-rated reimbursement for unused prepaid service days.

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.
