Leave Mobile Broadband 

Looking to leave Three Mobile Broadband? While we’d love for you to stay, if you’ve made up your mind, we’re here to help make it as easy as possible for you.

Before you go

We’d recommend checking when your contract ends. Because, if you decide to leave us before the end of your minimum contract term, you may be charged an early termination fee. You can find out more about early termination fees in our price guides

How to check your contract end date

Want to find out when your contract ends? Or joined us in the last 30 days but have changed your mind? Log into My3, or contact us on 0333 338 1082 or Live Chat

You can also check your outstanding charges by logging into My3 or texting INFO and your date of birth (DDMMYY) to 85075.

How to move your number to a new network

If you’d like to leave us and take your number to a new network, you’ll need a Port Authorisation Code (PAC).

If you’ve already requested your PAC and are having trouble with it, please get in touch with us.


Your options

Give us 30 days’ notice

If you don’t want to move your number to a new network, all you need to do is get in touch and give us 30 days’ notice. You’ll need to have your Mobile Broadband details to hand.

Important: If you leave before the end of your contract term, you may be charged an early termination fee. You can find out more in our price guide.

Leave with your number

If you want to take your number with you when you leave us, you’ll need a PAC. It lets you take your number to a new network and is valid for 30 days. It’ll be 9 characters long, made up of 3 letters and 6 numbers. 

E.g. ABC277604

Your final bill and other useful information

If you cancel before the end of your contract term, an early termination fee will be included in your final bill.
