NTT Docomo, founded in 1992, is a major Japanese telecommunications company. In the United States, they operate as NTT Docomo USA, providing enterprise solutions like global IoT connectivity and other business services, not personal mobile plans. Many businesses are now re-evaluating the tech subscriptions they signed up for during the big 'work from anywhere' push, realizing they don't need everything. This guide will help you cancel your Docomo business service without any headaches. With plans ranging from $49 to $499, you could save up to $5988 annually by cutting an unused service. We'll cover how to cancel through their desktop portal or by contacting support directly.
How to Cancel Docomo on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for Docomo through the App Store, your subscription is managed by Apple. You'll need to cancel it through your iPhone or iPad settings, not the Docomo app itself.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon on your home screen. It's the one you use for everything from Wi-Fi to wallpaper.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are right at the top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your account settings.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
On the next screen, you'll see a list of options. Tap on Subscriptions. If you don't see it, you might not have any active subscriptions through Apple, or you're not logged in.
4 Find and Cancel Docomo
Scroll through your list of active subscriptions to find Docomo. Tap on it, then tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll have to confirm it one more time. Honestly, they make you tap it twice just to be sure.
How to Cancel Docomo on Android
For Android users, your Docomo subscription is likely handled by the Google Play Store. The process is pretty straightforward, but Google does move things around sometimes.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find the Play Store app on your device. It's the colorful triangle icon.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with several options.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions. It's usually the third or fourth option down.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all the services you're subscribed to through Google Play.
5 Cancel the Docomo Subscription
Find Docomo in the list and tap on it. At the bottom of the screen, you'll see an option to Cancel subscription. Follow the prompts to confirm. It might ask you why you're leaving, but you can usually skip that.
How to Cancel Docomo on Desktop or Laptop
Canceling directly through the website is often the most reliable method, especially if you didn't sign up through a mobile app store.
1 Go to the Official Docomo Website
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Docomo website. Make sure you're on the correct site and not a phishing page.
2 Log In to Your Account
Find the login button, usually in the top-right corner. Enter your email and password to access your account dashboard.
3 Navigate to Account Settings
Once logged in, look for a section called 'My Account', 'Profile', or 'Settings'. This is where they usually hide the important stuff.
4 Find Your Subscription Details
Inside your account settings, search for a tab or link labeled 'Subscription', 'Billing', or 'Manage Plan'. It can feel like a treasure hunt sometimes.
5 Cancel Your Plan
You should see your current plan details with an option to Cancel or End Subscription. Click it and follow any final confirmation steps. They might offer you a discount to stay, so be prepared to click 'No, thanks' a few times.
Cancel Docomo by Phone
If navigating menus isn't your thing, you can try calling Docomo's customer support.
- Phone Number: 1-800-555-0199 (Note: This is a representative number for US-based services)
- Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM (ET)
Be prepared with your account information, like your email address and the payment method you used. Expect some hold time and a sales pitch to convince you to stay. Just be firm and polite.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- Refunds: Docomo generally does not offer refunds for partial months. If you cancel, you'll typically have access to the service until the end of your current billing period.
- Data Deletion: Once your subscription ends, you will likely lose access to any saved content, watchlists, or account history. Download anything you need before the billing cycle ends.
- Pausing Subscription: Currently, Docomo does not seem to offer an option to pause your subscription. You can only cancel it and resubscribe later if you choose.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Docomo Subscription?
Sometimes things just don't work. If you're stuck in a loop trying to cancel, here are a few things to try:
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you sign up through Apple, Google, Amazon, or your TV provider? If so, you must cancel through them, not the Docomo website.
- Use a Desktop Browser: Mobile sites can be buggy. Try logging into your account on a laptop or desktop computer. This often solves the problem.
- Clear Your Cache or Use Incognito: Your browser's cache might be causing issues. Try clearing it or opening an incognito/private window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: If nothing else works, it's time to contact customer support. It might take a while, but they can manually cancel the subscription for you.
