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.
