- Phone (fastest): Call +52 800 123 2222 and say “cancel my service”. Expect a retention pitch, decline it twice and hold firm.
- In person: Telmex processes cancellations at their locations, bring ID and ask for written confirmation before you leave.
- Email: Telmex doesn’t process cancellations by email. Still worth sending one: it dates your cancellation request in writing, which matters for disputes and refunds.
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.

Cancellation Request, [your account email]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]

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.”

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.
- ✕ Cancelling by email only, Telmex's published routes are phone (800 123 2222), the Mi Telmex portal or app, web or WhatsApp chat, and branches. telmexsoluciona@telmex.com is a support inbox that asks for your details and sends you back to the formal process. It is good for a paper trail, but it is not a cancellation channel.
- ✕ Cancelling when you are not the account holder (titular), Several guides agree that only the account holder can cancel. Requests from other household members get rejected.
- ✕ Cancelling with an unpaid balance or an Inbursa / Tienda Telmex credit charged to the bill, Guides list a clear balance and no Inbursa or Tienda Telmex credit on the bill as requirements. Telmex will not process the cancellation until these are settled.
- ✕ Cancelling by phone without returning the modem, The phone or online request only gives you a folio. The cancellation is finished when the modem is handed in at a branch, otherwise you get charged for the equipment. Guides say to return it within about 15 business days.
- ✕ Assuming the online or chat request is final, Online, social media and chat requests are followed by a callback from an agent within 24 to 72 hours to confirm. Until you get that call, the service stays active.
Cancelled Telmex but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Telmex, treat it as not cancelled. Email
telmexsoluciona@telmex.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Telmex’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
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.
They’ll say: “The agent asks why you're leaving and offers other packages or promotions to make you reconsider”
You say: I've already decided. Please register the cancellation of line [10 digits] now and give me the folio de cancelación number.
They’ll say: “Cancellation is blocked because of a pending balance or financed charges (Inbursa credit or Tienda Telmex) on the bill”
You say: Please tell me the exact amount needed to settle the account today so the cancellation can go ahead. Also confirm in writing that nothing else is pending.
They’ll say: “The agent offers to let you keep the modem for a fee, or doesn't explain how to return it”
You say: I will return the modem and accessories. Please confirm which branch I can use and that the folio covers the equipment return. I need a stamped return receipt.
They’ll say: “Bills keep arriving after you cancel”
You say: I cancelled on [date] under folio [number] and returned the equipment on [date] (receipt attached). Please cancel these charges and refund any amount paid after the cancellation date. If this isn't resolved I will file a complaint with Profeco.
They’ll say: “Telmex keeps charging the full bill during a long outage”
You say: My service was down from [date] to [date] under report folio [number], which is more than 72 hours. Please apply the outage credit (bonificación) set out in the contract registered with Profeco.
Your rights when cancelling
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.
Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackYour 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.
