Thinking of cutting ties with Foxtel? You're not alone. Foxtel, an Australian pay-TV company founded in 1995, offers a huge range of sports, movies, and premium shows. Maybe you signed up just to see how the Roy family drama in Succession ended and now you're done. It happens. This guide will help you cancel your plan without the headache. With subscriptions ranging from $25 to $105, you could save up to $1260 a year by cancelling. We'll cover how to do it on your desktop or by phone.
How to Cancel Foxtel on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for Foxtel directly through the App Store using your Apple ID, this is the way to cancel. If you subscribed on their website, these steps won't work, and you'll need to use the desktop method instead.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Tap the gray gear icon on your home screen to open the Settings app. This is where all your device and account settings live.
2 Access Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and profile picture at the very top of the Settings screen. This takes you to your Apple ID, iCloud, and subscription management area.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
Select Subscriptions from the list. You'll see all your active and expired subscriptions that are billed through Apple. It can be a surprisingly long list.
4 Find and Cancel Foxtel
Scroll through the list to find your Foxtel subscription. Tap on it, then tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm your choice. Apple will then stop any future payments.
How to Cancel Foxtel on Android
This method is for users who subscribed to Foxtel via the Google Play Store. If you signed up on the Foxtel website, this won't show up here. You'll have to log in on a desktop.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and tap the Google Play Store icon on your Android device. It's the primary hub for all your apps and subscriptions.
2 Go to Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen. A menu will pop up with several options.
3 Manage Your Subscriptions
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions, and then tap on Subscriptions. This screen shows every service you're paying for through Google Play.
4 Locate and Cancel Foxtel
Find Foxtel in your list of active subscriptions. Tap on it, and then select the Cancel subscription option. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Honestly, I had to tap it twice for it to register once.
How to Cancel Foxtel on Desktop or Laptop
This is the most common and reliable way to cancel, especially if the app methods don't work. It covers subscriptions made directly on the Foxtel website.
1 Visit the Foxtel Website and Log In
Open your web browser and go to the official Foxtel website. Click the Log In button, which is usually at the top right, and enter your account credentials.
2 Navigate to 'My Account'
Once you're logged in, find the My Account section. This is typically accessible by clicking your name or a profile icon. This is where all your billing and package details are stored.
3 Find Your Subscription Details
Look for a link or tab that says something like 'My Package,' 'Manage My Subscription,' or 'Billing Details.' Companies love to hide the cancellation options, so you might have to click around a bit. It's pretty frustrating.
4 Proceed with Cancellation
You should find an option to Change Package or Cancel Subscription. Click it and follow the prompts. They will likely present you with special offers to try and keep you. Just keep clicking through until you get a final confirmation screen or email.
Cancel Foxtel by Phone
If you'd rather talk to a person, you can call Foxtel's customer support.
- Phone Number: 1-800-555-3499 (Fictional US Number)
- Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM (ET)
Be prepared with your account number and the full name on the account. Expect some wait time and be ready for them to try to convince you to stay with a special deal. Just be firm and repeat that you wish to cancel.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- Refunds: Foxtel generally does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel mid-cycle, you can typically use the service until the end of your billing period, but you won't get any money back for the unused time.
- Equipment Returns: If you have a Foxtel box or other hardware, you will likely need to return it. Check your original agreement, because they can charge hefty fees for unreturned equipment.
- Pausing Your Subscription: In some cases, you might be able to pause your subscription for a month or two instead of cancelling outright. This option, if available, would be in your 'My Account' section online.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Foxtel Subscription?
It can be a real headache when the cancel button seems to be missing. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Your Biller: Did you sign up through a third party like Apple, Google Play, or your cable provider? If so, you must cancel through them directly. Foxtel can't cancel it for you.
- Use a Computer: Some companies make it intentionally difficult to cancel on a mobile browser. Try logging in from a desktop or laptop computer, as the full website sometimes has different options.
- Clear Your Cache or Go Incognito: Your browser's cache could be loading an old version of the page. Try clearing your cache and cookies or using an incognito/private browsing window to log in again.
- Contact Support Directly: When all else fails, call them. It might take a while, but speaking to a representative is a surefire way to get the cancellation processed if the online methods are failing you.
