Every way to cancel Telmex

Timing matters: Only the account holder can cancel, and the balance must be paid first. Request cancellation at least 5 days before your billing cut-off date (fecha de corte) to avoid another charge. The process isn't finished until you return the modem at a Telmex branch with ID and the folio, reportedly within about 15 business days. Online and chat requests are confirmed by a callback within 24 to 72 hours.

The email that backs it up

Telmex won’t action a cancellation from an email alone, use the fastest channel above for the cancellation itself. This email still earns its place: it puts your cancellation date in writing (your evidence if they keep billing) and it’s where the refund request happens.

  1. Email the verified address

    telmexsoluciona@telmex.com, yoink-verified working email for Telmex (confirmed by tracked cancellations).

  2. Use a precise subject

    Subject: Cancellation Request, [your account email]

  3. Send this template

    Hi Telmex team,
    
    I'm writing to cancel the subscription on my account, [your account email].
    
    Please treat this as formal notice of cancellation, effective from the end of the current billing period. I'm exercising my statutory right under the consumer-protection law of my jurisdiction to cancel by written notice.
    
    Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken.
    
    If your policy allows it, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the current period.
    
    Best,
    [your name]
  4. Wait for confirmation

    Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

Telmex plans you can cancel

What happens to what you’ve already paid

Monthly Infinitum and landline service: you can cancel or switch to a cheaper plan at any time. You may have to pay any remaining equipment cost or extra charges, and there is no documented cooling-off refund for days you have already paid for. Service outages: Telmex's Profeco-registered contract requires a credit when a reported outage lasts more than 72 hours. Ask for the credit with your outage report folio, and it is applied to your next bill. Bills that keep coming after you cancel: dispute them on 800 123 0000 or at a Telmex branch using your folio de cancelación and modem-return receipt. If Telmex won't fix it, you can escalate to Profeco.

“Tienes derecho a cambiarte de paquete o plan, aunque sea de menor monto, o cancelarlo de manera anticipada, pagando en su caso, el costo remanente de tu equipo o los cargos adicionales que se generen.”

Asking specifically for money back, not just a cancellation? See the dedicated Telmex refund guide , same data, but framed around the policy + escalation paths.

Does Telmex charge a cancellation fee?

We found no cancellation fee in Telmex’s published terms. On a rolling plan you simply pay to the end of the current billing period and nothing after. If you’re inside a fixed minimum term, check your signup email for the end date, cancelling early is where fees usually hide.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Telmex

Based on 6 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

Cancelled Telmex but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Telmex charges again.

How Telmex will try to keep you

Telmex may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

Your rights when cancelling

The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

Worldwide

  • Card-issuer chargeback
    Your bank can reverse the charge.

    Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Telmex has ~45 days to defend.

Delete your Telmex account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Telmex’s account settings, email telmexsoluciona@telmex.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under data-protection law in most jurisdictions. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.

Common questions about cancelling Telmex

Call Telmex customer service on **800 123 2222** (free from any phone in Mexico). From your Telmex landline you can dial ***2222**. Choose the option to speak with an advisor and ask for **cancelación**. You can also start the request in the **Mi Telmex** app or website (Más servicios → Administra tus servicios), or through the WhatsApp chat linked from telmex.com. Whichever route you use, you'll be asked for your 10-digit Telmex number and given a **folio de cancelación**. Keep it, because you need it to return the modem and to dispute any later charges.

Money-back questions (windows, pro-rata, chargebacks) are covered in the Telmex refund guide. Need a human for something else entirely? The Telmex contact guide lists every channel that actually answers.
