Right to cancelNo deadline statedTakes a few steps
Telephone number change automatically counts as material detriment
The triggering event is objectively verifiable from account records, but a written termination notice still must be sent, not just an automated claim.
“Where Ecotalk is required to change the telephone number, such a change shall be considered to be of material detriment to you and shall entitle you to terminate your use of the services in accordance with Section 13.3.”Ecotalk terms, Section 4.7
What to include: confirmation of forced telephone number change, written termination notice
Price promiseNo deadline statedTakes a few steps
No annual price rise guarantee on all plans
An agent would need to compare the customer's original plan price to the current bill to prove a rise occurred.
“All our plans come with a no annual price rise guarantee. If you keep paying your monthly bill you'll continue to receive the same deal and money from your bill will go towards restoring and protecting nature in Britain.”Ecotalk policy page, Are you going to hook me in then hike up the price?
What to include: account id, billing history
Replacement or repairNo deadline statedTakes a few steps
Free replacement eSIM for new, lost, or stolen phones
Requires direct contact with customer service rather than a fully self-serve automated claim, but no special documentation is needed.
“If you have a new phone or if your phone has been lost or stolen, please get in touch with our customer service team to request a replacement eSIM.”Ecotalk policy page, How do I transfer an eSIM to a new phone?
What to include: account verification

Immediate termination right for material detriment from contract changes
Relies on the subjective, undefined concept of 'material detriment' which requires human judgement rather than objective order data.
“You may terminate the Services immediately upon providing written notice to Ecotalk where you have suffered material detriment due to any changes having been made to the Contract or to the provision of the Services by Ecotalk, including in accordance with Sections 4.7 and 7.”Ecotalk terms, Section 13.3
What to include: written termination notice stating reasons for material detriment

30 days' notice to cancel at end of Minimum Term
A single written notice referencing the account is sufficient with no supporting documents or human judgement needed.
“you may terminate the Services provided to you by Ecotalk by providing Ecotalk with not less than thirty (30) days’ notice in writing. The earliest date on which such notice may take effect shall be on the expiry of the Minimum Term.”Ecotalk terms, Section 13.1
What to include: written notice of cancellation
Right to cancelNo deadline statedSimple to claim
No exit fees or charges when switching or leaving
The no-fee policy is unconditional and publicly stated, so an agent can simply cite it to request cancellation without charge.
“All our plans are on 30-day rolling contracts and there’s no charge if you switch. ... No, we’d never tie you down and there are no exit fees on our contracts.”Ecotalk policy page, Will I be charged if I leave?

14-day cooling-off right to cancel Services and Contract
Requires sending a clear written cancellation statement to a specified address and later returning the physical SIM, which is more than a single automated message.
“You have the right to cancel the provision of the Services and this Contract within fourteen (14) days from the day on which you received, or a third party on your behalf received (other than the delivery carrier), physical possession of the SIM card (the “Cooling Off Period”).”Ecotalk terms, Section 8.1
What to include: written cancellation notice, SIM receipt date
RefundClaim within 14 daysTakes a few steps
Full refund of payments on valid cooling-off cancellation

We may make...”Ecotalk terms, Section 8.5
