To cancel US Mobile, turn off AutoPay in your dashboard first, then either port your number to a new carrier (which automatically closes the line) or contact US Mobile support to shut the line down directly. Knowing how to cancel US Mobile the right way comes down to sequence: AutoPay off before anything else, then the path that fits whether you want to keep your number.
Turn Off AutoPay Before Anything Else
US Mobile’s AutoPay charges your payment method two days before your line renews. If you cancel or port out after that charge posts, you’ve paid for a cycle you won’t use, and clawing it back is harder than heading it off.
Log in to your dashboard, select “Individual Lines,” choose the line you’re canceling, tap “Review My Plan,” then select “Cancel Autopay.”1US Mobile. Easily Set Up Autopay For Your Phone Bill Confirm when prompted. Service still runs through the end of your current billing period, so shutting AutoPay off early costs you nothing.
Choose Your Path: Port Out or Close the Line
You have two ways to end service. Port your number to another carrier and your US Mobile line cancels automatically when the transfer completes. Or contact US Mobile support and ask them to close the line. Which path you pick depends on whether you want to keep your phone number.
Porting Your Number to a New Carrier
Do not cancel with US Mobile first. That’s the part most people get backwards. Start the process with your new carrier and give them your 10-digit number, your US Mobile account number, your transfer PIN, and the billing address on file. The new carrier submits the port request; US Mobile releases the number once the credentials clear.2Federal Communications Commission. Porting – Keeping Your Phone Number When You Change Providers Your line cancels itself when the port finishes.
Both the account number and the transfer PIN live in your dashboard under the line’s settings. Request the port-out details and US Mobile emails the PIN to the address on your account.3US Mobile. Porting Out of US Mobile The PIN expires after seven days, so don’t request it until you’re ready to move. Neither the transfer PIN nor the account number is the same as your login or customer-service PIN.
A few things stall ports more than anything else. The billing address you give the new carrier has to match what US Mobile has on file. Your line has to be active when the port runs; a lapsed prepaid line may lose the number entirely. And if you turned on a port-out lock in your dashboard for security, you’ll need to remove it before the new carrier can pull the number.
Under FCC rules, US Mobile cannot refuse to release your number, even if you owe a balance.2Federal Communications Commission. Porting – Keeping Your Phone Number When You Change Providers Carriers also have to notify you when a port-out is submitted and offer a free account lock against unauthorized transfers.4Federal Register.

If the Port Gets Stuck
Most ports finish within a few hours. If yours hasn’t completed within a business day, call US Mobile support rather than resubmitting through the new carrier, which can reset the process. Ask your new carrier for the Port Order Number (PON) so US Mobile can reference the exact request. Their porting team runs 24/7 and can arrange a three-way call with the new carrier if things drag on. Reach support by live chat on the website, at support@usmobile.com, or 1-878-205-0088.5US Mobile.

Closing the Line Without Keeping Your Number
If you don’t need the number, contact support through live chat, email support@usmobile.com, or call 1-878-205-0088.5US Mobile. Get the Help You Need With US Mobile Support A representative verifies your identity and processes the cancellation. Ask for a confirmation number or email. The line normally stays active through the end of the current cycle unless you request immediate termination, and that confirmation is what protects you if a charge appears later.
You can also just let the line expire. Turn off AutoPay, don’t renew, and the line deactivates when the paid period ends. The catch: your number gets released back into the carrier’s pool, sometimes within days, and is gone for good. If you might want it later, port it out instead.
What You Can Get Refunded
Canceling or porting out generally forfeits the days left in your current cycle, but there are windows where a refund is possible.6US Mobile. Refund Policy
For a month-to-month plan, you can request a refund if the plan was purchased less than 45 days ago, started less than 30 days ago, and had no usage. With some usage, partial refunds are possible: on unlimited plans, the refund equals your payment minus $2 per gigabyte of premium data used; on other plans, it’s prorated by data consumed.6US Mobile. Refund Policy
Multi-month plans are stricter. You qualify only if the plan was purchased within the last 45 days, activated within the last 7 days, and used less than 1 GB of data (or zero roaming data on unlimited-with-roaming plans). Miss any of those and the remaining term is non-refundable, though unused months can be applied as credit toward a new plan, calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of months.6US Mobile. Refund Policy
Your final bill may include a regulatory cost recovery fee and a service fee. These are standard line items, not cancellation penalties. No federal law requires prepaid carriers to prorate refunds, so outside the windows above, what you paid stays paid.
Loose Ends Before You Walk Away
Unlock the Device
If you bought your phone through US Mobile, it may be carrier-locked and won’t accept another carrier’s SIM until unlocked. US Mobile unlocks devices automatically after 60 days of continuous use on a US Mobile line. If the phone was never activated on US Mobile, it unlocks 12 months after it first connects to the internet.7US Mobile. Unlock Your Phone Check with support before you cancel; sorting it out afterward is harder because you lose dashboard access.
Delete the eSIM Profile
If you activated via eSIM, the profile stays on your phone after cancellation. It won’t cause billing issues but can confuse the device when it tries to reach a network that no longer recognizes it. On iPhone: Settings, Cellular, select the US Mobile plan, then “Delete eSIM” or “Delete Plan.”8Apple. How to Erase an eSIM on Your iPhone or iPad On Android, the path varies but is usually under Settings, then Network & Internet or Connections, then SIM manager. If you used US Mobile’s Teleportal feature to switch networks, each switch created a new eSIM, so you may have several old profiles to clear. A physical SIM simply goes inactive after cancellation.
If You Have Multiple Lines
Removing one line from a pooled account doesn’t close the whole account. Go to your pool settings in the dashboard, select the line, and remove it. US Mobile’s multi-line discounts scale with the number of active lines, so dropping one can raise the per-line cost for everyone still on the account. Check the new plan pricing before you confirm so nobody gets a surprise on the next bill.
