Greenwich Time, established in 1877, has been the go-to local news source for Greenwich, Connecticut for over a century. Maybe you signed up to follow the local elections or that wild story about the town's zoning debates that somehow went viral on TikTok. With subscriptions ranging from $15.99 to $35.99, it's easy to let those charges pile up if you're not reading it daily. This guide covers how to cancel on your desktop or mobile device (iOS and Android), potentially saving you up to $430 a year. Let's get this done so you can stop worrying about another surprise charge on your credit card.
How to Cancel Greenwich Time Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on their website is the most direct route, but be prepared. Sometimes these newspaper sites make you click around a bit to find what you need. I had to look for a good minute before I found the right section.
1 Log In to Your Account
Head over to the Greenwich Time website and sign in. The login button is usually at the top right of the page.
2 Find Your Account Settings
Click on your name or the profile icon to get to your account dashboard. You're looking for a link that says something like 'My Account' or 'Subscription Management.'
3 Locate the Cancellation Option
This can be the annoying part. You need to find the 'Cancel Subscription' or 'Manage Subscription' link. It might be buried under a 'Billing' or 'Settings' tab. Don't get sidetracked by the 'Pause Subscription' offer unless that's what you actually want.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
You'll probably get a pop-up asking if you're sure or trying to tempt you with a discount. Click through to confirm the cancellation. A confirmation email should arrive in your inbox shortly after. If it doesn't, something went wrong.
How to Cancel Greenwich Time Subscription on iOS
If you subscribed through the App Store, you have to cancel it there. Apple handles the billing, so you can't cancel on the Greenwich Time website. It's a common mistake people make.
1 Open Your Settings
Go to the main Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. It's the one with the gear icon.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are right at the top of the Settings screen. Tap on it.
3 Go to Subscriptions
In the next menu, tap on the 'Subscriptions' option to see all your active app subscriptions.
4 Find and Cancel Subscription
Scroll through the list to find your Greenwich Time subscription. Tap on it, then hit the big 'Cancel Subscription' button at the bottom. Done.
How to Cancel Greenwich Time Subscription on Android
Just like with iPhones, if you signed up using the Google Play Store, that's where you need to go to cancel. Don't even bother trying to do it on the newspaper's website, it won't work.
1 Open the Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app from your app drawer.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon, which is usually located in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select 'Payments & subscriptions,' and then tap on 'Subscriptions.'
4 Select and Cancel
Find the Greenwich Time subscription in your list, tap on it, and then choose 'Cancel subscription.' Follow any final on-screen prompts to confirm.
Cancel Greenwich Time Subscription with phone
If you prefer talking to a person, or if the website is giving you trouble, calling is a solid option.
- Phone Number: (203) 333-6688 (Hearst CT Media Customer Service)
- Hours: Typically standard business hours, Monday to Friday. Expect longer waits on Mondays.
- What to expect: You'll likely go through an automated menu first. Just keep saying 'cancel subscription' or 'customer service' until you get a real person. They will probably try to offer you a better rate to keep you. Be firm.
Before you hit that cancel button, here are a few things to keep in mind. First, you probably won't get a refund for the current billing period, even if you cancel a day after being charged. It's annoying, but standard practice. Your access will just continue until the period you paid for ends. Also, your user data (like your login) won't be deleted, your subscription will just become inactive. If you're just going on vacation, check for a 'Pause Subscription' or 'Vacation Hold' option. It can save you some money without canceling completely.
