How hard is it to cancel Vodafone Italia?
Vodafone Italia scores 67/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the IT, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone, email, postal mail, in person, online (self-serve).
Vodafone Italia customers can cancel (disdetta) by calling 190, submitting an online form at the vodafone.it support portal, visiting a store, sending registered mail (A/R) to Casella Postale 190, 10015 Ivrea (TO), or via certified PEC email ([email protected]), all channels require a copy of the customer's identity document and tax code. Cancellation takes effect within 30 days of Vodafone receiving a complete request. For contracts concluded at a distance or off-premises, the EU Consumer Rights Directive (Italian Codice del Consumo Art. 52) grants a 14-day right of withdrawal with a full refund issued within 14 days via the original payment method. Early cancellation may trigger residual device-installment charges, an activation contribution, or a fixed-line deactivation fee if cancelled before 24 months; Italy does not mandate a one-click online cancel button equivalent to Germany's §312k, so no self-serve termination button exists.

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.
