    How do you check when a fixed-term phone contract ends?

    A check service before you switch.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    Ask your operator. Under the Act on Electronic Communications Services and Traficom Regulation 46, operators that serve consumers must offer a free and easy-to-use service for checking when a fixed-term mobile subscription contract ends. This helps you plan a switch and a number transfer so that you do not pay for two contracts at the same time.

    Practical: communication, money, services

    Why

    1. Traficom's memorandum on Regulation 46 describes the free check service.
    2. The service is based on section 109 of the Act on Electronic Communications Services.
    3. The updated regulation requires the service from all operators serving consumers.

    Details

    The regulation also sets how far ahead a number transfer can be scheduled to match the end of a fixed-term contract.

    Tip

    Check the end date before you sign a new deal, then schedule the transfer to that date.

    What may differ

    Each operator decides how it offers the service, for example online or through customer service.

    Common misconception

    Only the operator's sales staff can tell you when your contract ends.

    What actually happens

    Operators must provide a free, easy check service for consumers.
