Does Unicom's account cancellation take effect immediately?

Yes Mobile phone cards with contracts can be cancelled by appointment before the contract period.

1. The mobile phone card has no contract, and the current arrears need to be settled in full. If you are a post-paid user, you may need to go to the business hall to settle the expenses the next month, and refund more and make up less. If you have extra phone bills, you can transfer to other Unicom mobile phone cards or refund cash.

2. If the mobile phone card has a contract, you need to explain to the salesperson in the business hall that you still need to use it, and then give the cancellation number within the contract period. You need to communicate with the business hall to make an appointment to sell the number. After all, business varies from place to place.

First, the specific process:

1. Before canceling the real-name registration system mobile phone card, you need to pay off the fees owed by the mobile phone number. If there is still a balance on the card, it can be returned when the number is cancelled. You can check the balance by calling the service phone of your mobile phone number.

2. If you participate in the preferential activities of the communication company (such as preferential purchase, phone bill delivery, etc. ) and signed an agreement clearly stipulating that you can't handle business such as account cancellation, transfer, and downtime. During the validity period of the offer, it must be implemented in accordance with the agreement, and the number can only be cancelled after the agreement expires.

3. When the mobile phone number is not in arrears and there is no problem, you can bring your ID card to the business hall of the communication company to which your number belongs to handle the downtime business in person.

Second, the phone number of the cancelled account can still be used. If the mobile phone number is not used for a long time, it will be cancelled. After cancellation, it will be sold as a new number and others will continue to use it. All mobile phone numbers will enter the pre-sale state after 30 days of arrears, and will be directly cancelled after 30 days. Each account has a certain time to re-open the account, but there is a handling fee. If you don't want this number, all companies with mobile phone numbers will take it back and enter the freezing period. After the freeze period, this number will refresh the data and redistribute the number. In fact, unregistered numbers do not need to go through the formalities in principle, but in the spirit of being responsible for used numbers, it is recommended to go through the formalities of canceling the account after paying the arrears. The corresponding amount must be paid in advance, and the remaining fees will be returned after the account is completely closed.
