Frequently asked questions
Cancel Amaysim: The Right Way to Stop Your Service
How to cancel Amaysim from india: your complete guide to reclaim credit, avoid hidden charges and understand your rights
Why you might cancel Amaysim and what this guide covers
Amaysim is an Australian prepaid mobile and broadband provider designed around flexible data banking, no lock-in contracts and self-service account management. If you signed up from India to use an Australian number or manage a plan remotely, you follow Amaysim's standard cancellation process-there is no separate India-specific tier or retail presence.
You may cancel Amaysim for several reasons: switching to a local Indian carrier, ending a temporary Australian number, dissatisfaction with service quality, or freeing up your billing. Whatever your reason, understanding your cancellation options and consumer protections upfront saves time and protects you from forfeited credit. Yafee has compiled this guide to walk you through every step, explain what happens to your service after cancellation, clarify refund policy and pinpoint your legal rights under Indian consumer law.
The friction in amaysim's 28-day billing cycle
Amaysim operates on automatic 28-day renewal cycles. Many customers assume cancellation stops service immediately; in reality, your service continues until your current billing cycle ends. Disabling auto-renew is not the same as fully cancelling your account. Furthermore, if you do not act within your cycle, you may incur charges for the next period. Yafee emphasises: document every cancellation step so you have proof if billing disputes arise later.
Your consumer rights under indian law
This section explains your legal protections when cancelling a foreign service provider while based in India.
Legal framework for cancelling overseas services
Although Amaysim is an Australian company, if you are a consumer based in India, you have protections under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India). Specifically, you may invoke these rights if Amaysim's cancellation process is unclear, if they refuse to process your cancellation, or if they charge you after you have terminated service. The Act defines a consumer as any person who purchases goods or services for a consideration, which includes prepaid mobile plans. Consequently, you are protected even when dealing with an overseas provider.
Key protections include the right to seek cancellation and refunds through the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism and, if necessary, escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The onus rests on Amaysim to prove you authorised any charges after your cancellation request.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel Amaysim at any time without penalty, provided you follow the company's stated cancellation process. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you must receive a refund of any unused credit or services within a reasonable timeframe-typically 5 to 10 business days. If Amaysim charges you after you have cancelled or disabled auto-renew, you may lodge a complaint with the CCPA or pursue arbitration. Yafee recommends gathering screenshots, SMS confirmations and email records before you cancel, as these form your evidence trail.
Step-by-step cancellation methods
Amaysim offers four distinct cancellation pathways, each with different timelines and outcomes.
Method 1: disable auto-renew via your Amaysim app or web account
Disabling auto-renew is the fastest option and stops future charges, but service continues until your billing cycle ends.
- Log into your My Amaysim account.
- Visit amaysim.com.au in a web browser, or open the Amaysim mobile app on your phone.
- Enter your login credentials: your Amaysim phone number and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, tap "Forgot Password" and follow the email reset link.
- Navigate to your active plan.
- On the web, look for "My Plans" or "Active Plans" in the main menu.
- In the app, scroll to the "Plans" or "My Account" tab.
- Select the plan you wish to disable.
- Locate and toggle off auto-renew.
- Scroll down to the renewal or billing section of your plan details.
- You will see a toggle switch or button labelled "Auto-Renew" or "Auto-Recharge".
- Tap or click the toggle to turn it off (the switch will change colour or show as disabled).
- Confirm the change when a pop-up appears.
- Save and screenshot the confirmation immediately.
- Your app or web account will display a message confirming auto-renew is now disabled.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation message as proof.
- Note the date and time; this protects you if Amaysim later disputes the cancellation.
- Service continues until your current 28-day cycle ends.
- You can use your remaining data and credit normally.
- No new charges will occur after your cycle ends.
- Your account and phone number remain active during this period.
Important: Disabling auto-renew is not the same as cancelling your account entirely. Your account still exists, and your number is still associated with Amaysim until the cycle finishes or you explicitly port the number to another provider.
Method 2: send an SMS cancellation command to shortcode 568
For unlimited or standard plan types, you can trigger immediate cancellation via SMS.
- Open your phone's messaging app.
- Use the same Amaysim phone number registered to your account.
- Ensure you have at least one SMS credit or that SMS is included in your plan.
- Compose a text message with the cancellation code.
- For standard or postpaid plans, type: STOP
- For unlimited plans, type: STOP UNLIMITED
- Leave no extra spaces or characters.
- Send the SMS to shortcode 568.
- Press send.
- Within 2 to 5 minutes, you will receive an SMS confirmation from Amaysim.
- Check your confirmation message and save it.
- The confirmation SMS will state your cancellation has been processed.
- Screenshot or forward this message to your email as proof.
- Note the exact time and date of the confirmation.
- Service will end after your current cycle or immediately, depending on your plan type.
- For most plans, service ends at the end of your 28-day cycle.
- For some unlimited plans, service may end immediately.
- Check your confirmation SMS for the exact end date.
If you do not receive a confirmation SMS within 10 minutes, resend the message or contact Amaysim support directly to confirm the cancellation was received.
Method 3: call Amaysim customer support
Speaking to a support agent ensures real-time confirmation and allows you to ask questions about your refund or remaining credit.
- Find the correct contact number for your region.
- From an Amaysim phone, call 191 (local rate).
- From any other phone, call +61 2 8116 8191 (Australia) or check amaysim.com.au for the international support line.
- Have your account details ready: phone number, email address and the last four digits of any payment method.
- Request cancellation from the support agent.
- Tell the agent clearly: "I want to cancel my Amaysim service effective immediately."
- The agent will confirm your identity and ask for your reason (optional to answer).
- The agent will process the cancellation and provide a reference number.
- Request a written confirmation.
- Ask the agent to email you a cancellation confirmation with the reference number.
- Confirm the email address they will send to.
- Ask what date your service ends and when you will receive a refund.
- Note the call time and agent details.
- Write down the date, time and agent name if provided.
- Record the reference number in a safe place.
- Wait for the confirmation email.
- You should receive it within 1 business day.
- If you do not receive it within 24 hours, call back and request it again.
Method 4: send a written cancellation request via post
This method leaves a formal paper trail and is useful if other methods fail or if you need official documentation for dispute resolution.
- Prepare your cancellation letter.
- Write or type a brief letter including your Amaysim phone number, account email address, full name and the date.
- State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Amaysim account effective [today's date]."
- Optionally, state your reason for cancellation.
- Include any relevant reference numbers from previous cancellation attempts.
- Include supporting documents.
- Attach a photocopy of your passport or identity proof for verification.
- Attach screenshots of any auto-renew disable confirmations or SMS cancellation confirmations you have already received.
- Send by registered post to Amaysim's mailing address.
- Address: Amaysim Australia, PO Box 4072, Alexandria NSW 2015, Australia.
- Use registered post or a courier service so you have a tracking number.
- Keep the receipt and tracking number as proof of sending.
- Follow up if needed.
- Allow 10 business days for the letter to arrive and be processed.
- If you do not receive a written response within 15 days, email Amaysim's support or contact Yafee's legal resources for next steps.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not end instantly for everyone, and knowing the timeline prevents confusion and unwanted charges.
Service end date and final billing cycle
Once you cancel, your service end date depends on the cancellation method used. If you disabled auto-renew via the app, service continues until your current 28-day cycle ends, then stops automatically-no further charges occur. If you sent an SMS or called support, service typically ends at the end of your current cycle or immediately, depending on your specific plan. Amaysim will send you an SMS or email confirming the exact end date. Note this date carefully; you are responsible for switching to a new provider before this date if you want uninterrupted service.
Refund of unused credit and deposits
Any remaining credit on your account should be refunded within 5 to 10 business days after your service end date. If you paid an upfront deposit or auto-recharge amount, Amaysim will refund that too. The refund will go back to the original payment method (credit card, debit card or bank account). In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to request an explanation if a refund is not processed within 10 business days. Contact Amaysim support with your cancellation reference number and request a refund status update. If Amaysim refuses to refund unused credit, you may escalate to the CCPA or your state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
What you lose upon cancellation
After your service ends, your Amaysim phone number will be deactivated and recycled-you cannot reactivate it or claim it later. Any unused data that was banked will be forfeited. You will no longer be able to receive calls or texts to that number. If you have pending payments owed to Amaysim, they may deduct these from your refund before returning the balance. Furthermore, your account will remain in Amaysim's system for record-keeping, but you will not be able to log in or reactivate it without contacting support.
Common traps and how to avoid them
Cancellation is straightforward if you avoid these typical pitfalls-and you have legal protections if a mistake occurs.
Trap 1: confusing auto-renew disable with full cancellation
Many customers disable auto-renew and assume they have cancelled. Your account still exists, your number is still active, and Amaysim can still contact you. You have not truly cancelled until you follow one of the four full cancellation methods above. Consequently, if you only disable auto-renew and then forget about it, your account may eventually be deactivated by Amaysim for inactivity-but you will not have an active cancellation record. Always confirm full cancellation via SMS confirmation, email confirmation or a support call reference number.
Trap 2: unexpected charges after cancellation
If Amaysim charges you after you have cancelled or disabled auto-renew, do not panic. You have clear legal grounds to dispute the charge under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Gather your proof (screenshot, SMS confirmation, email, or call reference number) and contact Amaysim support immediately. Inform them of the charge and provide your cancellation proof. If they refuse to reverse the charge within 5 business days, lodge a complaint with the CCPA or your state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. You may also dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider (credit card or digital wallet issuer), who can initiate a chargeback on your behalf. Yafee recommends disputing within 30 days of the unwanted charge.
Trap 3: not documenting your cancellation
If you cancel via phone call but do not request a written confirmation, you have no proof if a dispute arises. Always screenshot app confirmations, save SMS messages, and request written email confirmations from support. Yafee advises storing these documents in a separate folder or email account. This documentation is your only defence if Amaysim later claims you did not cancel or if they charge you after your cancellation date.
Trap 4: forgetting to check your refund status
Refunds do not always process automatically. If you do not see your refund within 10 business days, contact Amaysim support proactively. Provide your cancellation reference number and the date your service ended. Ask for a refund confirmation and expected arrival date. Silence is not acceptance-you must follow up or risk forfeiting your refund.
Pricing and refund table
The table below summarises common Amaysim plan types and what you can expect to recover upon cancellation.
| Plan type | Typical cost (AUD) | Refund eligible upon cancellation | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay as you go (standard) | 10-20 AUD per month | Yes, full unused credit | 5-10 business days |

| International roaming add-on | 5-15 AUD per region | Yes, unused portion refunded | 5-10 business days |
Note: All refunds are subject to Amaysim's policy that any outstanding payments owed to Amaysim will be deducted first. Refund amounts are converted to Indian Rupees (INR) at the exchange rate current on the date the refund is processed by Amaysim's bank.
Comparison: when to cancel vs. when to keep your Amaysim plan
This section helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice for your situation.
| Reason | Consider cancelling if | Consider keeping if |
|---|---|---|
| Switching to local Indian carrier | You no longer need an Australian number for work or personal contacts | You maintain business or family ties to Australia |
| Poor service quality or coverage | You experience frequent dropped calls or no service in your area | Coverage has improved or you rarely use the service |
| Data usage patterns change | Your plan's data allowance no longer matches your needs | You can switch to a lower-cost Amaysim plan instead |
| Accidental overspending or unexpected charges | You have been charged multiple times due to auto-renew you did not authorize | You have disabled auto-renew and understand the billing cycle |
| Number porting to another Australian provider | Yes, cancel and port your number to a new provider | Keep the number only if no other Australian provider suits your needs |
| Long-term travel or relocation | You will be away for more than 3-6 months with no Australian use | You expect to return and want to keep the number active |

Contacting Amaysim for help or escalation
Yafee provides this contact information and escalation path so you know where to turn if Amaysim does not respond or refuses to cancel.
First-line support contact
From your Amaysim phone, call 191 (local rate). From any other phone, call +61 2 8116 8191 or check amaysim.com.au for alternative support channels.

Email enquiries should be directed to [email protected], though response times are slower by email (3 to 5 business days).
Escalation if Amaysim refuses to cancel
If Amaysim refuses to process your cancellation or refund, you have legal remedies under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India). First, lodge a formal written complaint with Amaysim citing your cancellation request and referencing the Consumer Protection Act. Allow 7 days for a response. If Amaysim does not respond or refuses, escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), which handles cross-border consumer disputes. You may also file a complaint with your state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission or initiate arbitration if Amaysim's terms and conditions include an arbitration clause. Yafee recommends gathering all evidence (cancellation SMS, screenshots, emails and call reference numbers) before escalating.
