Keep in mind before you cancel

Take your number to a new carrier

Cancel your service from your Google Fi account (see steps below). Fi will guide you through the process before you confirm cancellation.
We’ll give you your port-out account number and PIN once you cancel.
Give your new carrier your port-out info. If they ask for your name and address, use the name on your Google Account and your Google Fi service address.
Once your new carrier confirms your info with Google Fi, they activate your number. Activation usually takes less than 24 hours.
After the new carrier activates your number, we cancel your Fi service. Until the account closes, to find past bills and other details, you can still sign in to your account.

Keep or return your phone

Over 15 days since you received your phone

If it’s been more than 15 days since you got your phone, you can no longer return it. If you’re making monthly payments on your phone, you’ll need to pay the remaining balance. You’ll see this balance on your next statement after you cancel and it’ll be automatically charged to the payment card on your account.

Use your phone with other carriers

Your phone isn’t locked to Google Fi, so you can use it with another carrier after you cancel your service. You’ll get instructions on how to do this during the cancellation process.

Settle an overdue balance

An overdue balance is an amount you owe from a billing cycle prior to when you cancel. If you have an overdue balance, you’ll need to pay the remaining balance in full before you can cancel your Google Fi service. If your account has an overdue balance and you want to port out your number, you must contact Google Fi support for assistance.

Understand your final bills

For single member plans, after you cancel your service, you may get up to 2 more bills to close out all your charges. For group plan owners, after your last member leaves, you may receive up to 2 more bills to close out all your group’s charges. Group plan members typically have 60 days to leave the plan, so that delays the closing for the owner. After you cancel your service, you can still sign in to your account to find your bill and other details. If you have a positive balance on your second bill, we refund you on your primary payment card. It can take up to 60 days for billing and refunds to complete. Service credits are non-refundable. At the end of your last active billing cycle, your first statement won’t show a balance for your monthly data budget under “Standard monthly charges.”

Flexible plan

If you cancel your service before the end of your Flexible plan’s billing cycle, you get a credit for any days remaining in a second bill 30 days later. This statement may include charges for international usage, which take longer to appear.

Unlimited Plus plan and Simply Unlimited plan

If you cancel your service before the end of your Unlimited plan’s billing cycle, you are charged the full amount of the billing cycle during which you terminated your service. This could be charged in a later cycle. A second bill sent 30 days later may include charges for international use, which take longer to appear.

Troubleshoot cancellations

Can’t transfer Google Voice number

If the option to transfer your number to Google Voice isn’t available, it’s likely that Google Voice doesn’t support this number or numbers in this area. Google Voice’s number availability changes often, so even if your number was on Google Voice before, it can’t always be transferred back. If you’d still like to keep your number, we recommend transferring it to another carrier that supports it.
