When Do You Call & Cancel Services When You Are Moving?

When considering canceling monthly services before a move, the first thing you need to determine is the exact date of your relocation. Most recurring services charge on a monthly basis, so it’s best to get in touch with them at least one month before the date of the move. This will help to ensure that you aren’t charged for services that you won’t be using. Conveniently, most services, such as cable, phone, internet, and utilities, will charge a prorated amount if you are moving in the middle of a billing cycle.

Of course, you should first check to see if the services you are using can be carried over to your new address. Services such as video streaming and magazine subscriptions simply need a new address in order to complete the change, so you won’t have to cancel those services if you don’t want to.

Immediately after canceling your utilities services, you will want to call the new utilities company, inform them that you will be starting new service with them, and provide them with your new address. You should do the same with your internet, cable, and phone services as well, to ensure a seamless transition.
