How much notice do I need to give?

Under the German Telekommunikationsgesetz (TKG), you can cancel with one month's notice at any time once the minimum contract term (usually 24 months) has expired. During the minimum term, you must cancel with one month's notice before the end of that term; otherwise the contract auto-renews on a monthly basis.

Can I keep my mobile number after cancelling?

Yes. You have up to 30 days after the contract end date to port (Rufnummernmitnahme) your number to a new provider. Request the porting from your new provider — they handle the process. If you do not port within 30 days, the number may be reassigned and permanently lost.

Will I receive a refund for unused prepaid credit or advance payments?

If you have paid monthly fees in advance beyond your final contract end date, 1&1 is obligated to refund the pro-rata overpayment. Prepaid credit balances on SIM-only prepaid accounts are generally not refunded. Contact 1&1 customer service to confirm your specific billing situation.

Can I reactivate my contract after cancellation?

Reactivation of the same contract is not standard practice. You would need to sign up for a new contract. If your number has not yet been ported or reassigned, you may be able to negotiate with 1&1 to retain it, but this is not guaranteed.

What happens to my data after the contract ends?

1&1 retains personal and billing data for the legally required retention periods (typically 10 years for financial records under German law). You can request deletion of data beyond legal obligations by submitting a GDPR erasure request (Recht auf Löschung) to datenschutz@1und1.de.

Is cancellation by email valid?

Yes. Sending a cancellation letter to kuendigung@1und1.de is accepted by 1&1 and does not require a follow-up phone call, unlike the online Control-Center flow. Include your full name, customer number, contract/phone number, desired cancellation date, and a request for written confirmation (Kündigungsbestätigung). Sending via registered post (Einschreiben mit Rückschein) to 1&1 Telecom GmbH, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur is the most legally secure alternative.
