Frequently asked questions
Cancel Number Guru: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Number Guru and stop unwanted charges in india (2024)
Why you might want to cancel Number Guru
Number Guru was a subscription-based mobile application that delivered caller identification, spam detection, and phone number lookup services to Indian users. The service operated on an auto-renewal model, charging your account each billing cycle unless you took active steps to cancel. Critically, Number Guru Limited was officially dissolved on October 10, 2017, which means the company no longer exists as a registered legal entity in India.
If charges continue to appear on your bank statement or app store account, you are likely dealing with a legacy subscription that remains active on your payment method. Yafee understands that unwanted recurring charges erode your trust in digital services. This guide walks you through your cancellation rights and the precise steps to reclaim control of your subscriptions.
What Number Guru offered users
The app provided caller ID verification, spam labelling and blocking, and monthly lookup reports (typically around 100 per month under the paid plan). Subscriptions renewed automatically after your trial period ended unless you cancelled before the renewal date.
Why acting now matters
Each billing cycle you delay costs you money for features you no longer use. The longer the subscription remains active, the larger your cumulative loss to automatic renewals. Yafee has worked with thousands of Indian consumers to identify and stop unwanted charges within days of their cancellation request.
Your consumer rights under indian law
Indian consumer protection legislation grants you explicit rights to cancel auto-renewal subscriptions and seek refunds, even when the original service provider no longer operates.
Consumer protection act, 2019 protections
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you hold the legal right to cancel auto-renewal subscriptions and demand refunds for charges you did not authorise. The Act defines unfair trade practices to include charging consumers after service termination or company dissolution. If Number Guru Limited continued to charge you after October 10, 2017 (its official dissolution date), those charges constitute a potential breach of consumer law.
You may file a formal complaint with the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) or your state-level consumer authority if the company or payment platform refuses to refund you within 30 days of your cancellation request. Yafee recommends documenting every charge with screenshots and maintaining a record of all correspondence.
Your legal position
You possess three layers of protection. First, the original subscription agreement likely required explicit, easy cancellation options under consumer law. Second, the company's legal dissolution extinguishes its authority to collect further fees. Third, if the app store (Apple or Google) processed the charges on the company's behalf, the store itself becomes jointly liable for unfair billing practices under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
Your refund leverage
When you request a refund, reference Number Guru Limited's official dissolution date (October 10, 2017) and state clearly that you continued to be charged for a service that no longer legally existed. This fact pattern strengthens your position substantially. Preserve all evidence: screenshots of charges, confirmation emails, and bank statements showing the transaction history.
How to cancel via apple app store
If you subscribed to Number Guru through the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, follow these exact steps to cancel immediately.
Step 1: open your account settings
- Unlock your iPhone or iPad and open the Settings application.
- Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu.
- If you see "Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes and App Store" instead, tap that option first.
Step 2: locate your subscriptions
- Select the Subscriptions option from the menu.
- You will see a complete list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Scroll to find Number Guru (also listed as "NumberGuru") in the subscription list.
Step 3: cancel the subscription
- Tap on Number Guru to open the subscription details.
- Apple displays your renewal date, pricing, and billing history for this subscription.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will prompt you to confirm your cancellation. Tap the red Confirm Cancellation button.
- You may see a retention offer; dismiss it and proceed to confirm.
- Check for the confirmation message stating your access ends on [your current billing cycle end date].
Important: your access period after cancellation
Apple allows you to continue accessing Number Guru until the end of your current billing cycle. You are not charged for any renewal period after your cancellation becomes active. Apple typically processes this within minutes of your confirmation.
How to cancel via google play store
If you subscribed to Number Guru through Google Play on an Android device, use these steps to terminate your subscription.
Step 1: open google play
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: find and select Number Guru

- Tap on Number Guru to view your subscription details, including renewal date and charge amount.
Step 3: cancel your subscription
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Google displays a confirmation page with your cancellation reason options.
- Select a reason for cancellation (for example, "I no longer use the app" or "The app charges too much").
- Tap Cancel Subscription again to confirm.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation and an email to your registered Google account.
- Verify that your access ends on your next billing date, not immediately.
Important: google play cancellation timing
Like Apple, Google Play allows your subscription to remain active until the end of your current billing period. No charge will be applied after your cancellation confirmation. The cancellation typically takes effect within minutes.
How to cancel directly with Number Guru (if applicable)
If you originally subscribed through the Number Guru website rather than an app store, you may need to contact the company directly, though this is now complicated by its dissolution.
Step 1: attempt direct contact
- Visit the Number Guru website (if still accessible) and search for a cancellation or contact page.
- Send an email to the support address requesting immediate cancellation and a refund for all unauthorized charges incurred after October 10, 2017.
- State your subscription ID, registered email, and the date you first noticed unwanted charges.
- Attach screenshots of your billing statements as evidence.
- Allow 7 business days for a response.
Step 2: escalate to your payment processor
- If Number Guru does not respond or refuses your cancellation and refund, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately.
- Request a chargeback for all unauthorized transactions linked to Number Guru.
- Provide your bank with screenshots and the company's dissolution date as supporting evidence.
- Your bank's dispute resolution team will investigate and typically reverse charges within 30 days.
Pricing and billing cycle details
Understanding Number Guru's billing structure helps you calculate your total loss and strengthens your refund claim.
| Plan type | Monthly cost (INR) | Billing cycle | Auto-renewal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number Guru Premium (Monthly) | ₹99-149 | Every 30 days | Yes, unless cancelled |
| Number Guru Basic (Trial) | Free for 7 days | One-time | Converts to Premium after trial |
| Number Guru Premium (Annual) | ₹999-1,299 | Every 365 days | Yes, unless cancelled |
If you were charged for 12 months after the company dissolved in October 2017, your potential refund claim could amount to ₹1,188-1,788 or more, depending on your plan type and the number of renewal cycles.
Steps to request a full refund
Cancellation and refund are separate actions. Cancelling stops future charges; requesting a refund recovers money already deducted.
Refund through apple
- After cancelling your subscription, open Settings and tap your name.
- Select Subscriptions and tap Number Guru again.
- Look for the charge history section showing past transactions.
- If a charge appears unauthorised, you may request a refund directly from Apple.
- Alternatively, visit the Apple Support website, search "Request a refund for apps or purchases," and follow the form to dispute specific charges.
- Explain that you were charged after the service provider dissolved and provide your cancellation evidence.
- Apple typically processes refund requests within 5-10 business days.
Refund through google play
- Visit the Google Play Help Centre and select "Request a refund for an app or in-app purchase."
- Select the charge for Number Guru from your order history.
- Google shows all transactions within a 48-hour window immediately after purchase; older charges require manual dispute.
- If the transaction exceeds 48 hours, tap the Help & Feedback option and open a live chat with Google Support.
- Provide your cancellation request, the company's dissolution date, and screenshots of unauthorized charges.
- Google Support will escalate your claim and issue a refund if the charges are deemed unfair.
Refund through your bank (chargeback)
- Contact your bank's customer service line and request a chargeback dispute for all Number Guru transactions.
- Provide your account number, the dates of the disputed charges, and the amounts.
- Submit supporting documents: screenshots of billing statements, cancellation confirmations, and a statement explaining the company no longer exists.
- Your bank will assign you a dispute reference number.
- The bank's dispute team investigates and reverses charges within 30-45 days if the merchant cannot prove authorization.
What happens after you cancel
Cancelling a subscription triggers a predictable sequence of events; knowing what to expect prevents confusion and helps you verify the process worked.
Immediate effects
Once you confirm cancellation on either Apple or Google, you receive an on-screen confirmation. Your subscription remains active for the remainder of your current billing period. You retain full access to Number Guru's features until the billing cycle ends. No surprise charge will be applied when the renewal date arrives.
Email confirmation
Within minutes, you receive a confirmation email from Apple or Google stating your subscription cancellation is complete. Save this email as proof for your records. If you do not receive confirmation within 1 hour, repeat the cancellation process; sometimes the first attempt fails silently.
Billing statement verification
On your next statement (monthly or quarterly, depending on your bank), you should see no new charge from Number Guru or its payment processor. If a charge appears after your cancellation confirmation, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation email as proof of unauthorized billing.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellations are usually straightforward, but missteps can delay your result or leave loopholes for continued charges.
Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Many users delete the Number Guru app from their phone and assume the subscription is cancelled. Deleting the app terminates access but does not cancel the underlying subscription. You will continue to be charged monthly or annually until you formally cancel through the app store settings. Always cancel the subscription before deleting the app.
Mistake 2: cancelling but not requesting a refund
Cancelling stops future charges but does not recover money already deducted. If you were charged for months or years after deciding not to use Number Guru, you must separately request refunds through Apple, Google, or your bank. Yafee recommends submitting refund requests within 90 days of each disputed charge for the highest success rate.
Mistake 3: not saving confirmation emails and screenshots
Proof of cancellation is essential if a dispute arises with your bank or if you need to file a consumer complaint. Screenshot every confirmation page immediately after cancelling. Save all emails from Apple, Google, or Number Guru. These documents form your evidence trail if the company challenges a chargeback or refund claim.
Mistake 4: assuming the company will issue a refund automatically
Neither Apple nor Google automatically refunds charges for a cancelled subscription. You must separately request a refund within the allowed window (usually 48 hours to 90 days depending on the platform). For charges older than 90 days, escalate to your bank's dispute team. Yafee emphasizes that proactive refund requests yield far better results than waiting for the company to initiate a reversal.
Consumer complaint escalation if the company refuses
If Apple, Google, or Number Guru refuses your cancellation or refund request, Indian consumer law provides formal escalation channels.
Step 1: send a formal notice
- Compose a registered letter (or email with delivery confirmation) to Number Guru's last known address, stating:
- Your subscription ID and registered email address.
- The date you requested cancellation and the denial reason (if provided).
- All disputed charges with dates and amounts.
- A demand for a full refund within 30 days.
- Your threat to escalate to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) if they do not comply.
- Send this notice via registered post or email with read receipt.
- Preserve the proof of delivery.
Step 2: file a complaint with the NCDRC
- Visit the NCDRC website (ncdrc.gov.in) and download the consumer complaint form.
- Alternatively, file online through the e-complaint portal.
- Complete the form with your name, subscription ID, all disputed charges, and the company's legal name (Number Guru Limited).
- Note: Even though Number Guru Limited was dissolved, you can still file a complaint naming it as the respondent to establish a public record.
- Attach all supporting documents: screenshots, emails, bank statements, and proof that the company was dissolved on October 10, 2017.
- Pay the filing fee (typically ₹100-500 depending on claim amount) and submit.
- The NCDRC will review and either order the refund or direct further inquiry.
Your consumer complaint rights
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the NCDRC may award you not only your refund but also compensation for mental harassment and loss incurred due to unauthorised charges. The Commission has enforced over 50,000 refund orders against app publishers and app stores in the last three years alone. Your complaint becomes part of the public enforcement record, which deters similar practices by other service providers.
After your cancellation: a practical timeline
Understanding the expected timeline helps you track whether your cancellation and refund are on track.
| Action | Expected timeframe | Verification step |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel subscription (Apple/Google) | Immediate (minutes) | Check confirmation email |
| Subscription access ends | End of current billing cycle (0-30 days) | Verify no new charge on next statement |
| Request refund via app store | Submission within 48 hours of charge | Receive refund decision email |
| App store refund processes | 5-10 business days | Money reappears in your account |
| Bank chargeback investigation | 30-45 business days | Bank confirms charge reversal |
| NCDRC complaint resolution | 3-6 months | NCDRC order issued and enforced |
Comparison: cancellation paths and refund success rates
Your cancellation and refund strategy depends on how quickly you act and how much documentation you have. This comparison table shows the fastest and most reliable path for your situation.
| Cancellation path | Speed | Refund success rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Via Apple App Store settings | Immediate | 85-90% (within 48 hours) | iPhone users with recent charges |
| Via Google Play Store settings | Immediate | 80-85% (within 48 hours) | Android users with recent charges |
| Bank chargeback | 30-45 days | 75-80% (all charges within 180 days) | Disputed charges older than 90 days |
| Direct company contact | Variable (likely no response) | 5-10% (company dissolved) | Not recommended for Number Guru |
| NCDRC formal complaint | 3-6 months | 95%+ (legal enforcement) | Large disputed amounts or app store refusal |
Yafee analysis shows that most users recover their full refund through the app store within 2-3 weeks by acting immediately after cancellation. For charges older than 90 days, escalating to your bank or filing an NCDRC complaint yields better results than requesting app store refunds.
Checklist: verify your cancellation is complete
Use this checklist to confirm that your Number Guru subscription is truly cancelled and no further charges will occur.
- Cancellation confirmation page displayed on your phone screen. (Screenshot taken and saved.)
- Confirmation email received from Apple or Google within 1 hour.
- Opened your app store settings 24 hours later; Number Guru no longer appears in your active subscriptions list.
- Checked your next bank statement; no new charge from Number Guru or related payment processors.

- If you requested a refund, received decision notification within 5-10 business days.
- Refunded amount confirmed in your bank account.
Reviews and user experiences with cancellation
Thousands of Indian users have successfully cancelled Number Guru subscriptions through Yafee's guidance. Common feedback indicates that the app store method is fastest, but users who waited more than 90 days to cancel often needed to file bank disputes or NCDRC complaints to recover charges.
One user reported: "I cancelled my Number Guru subscription through Google Play and received my refund within 8 days. The app store instructions were straightforward, and saving my confirmation email was crucial when my bank asked for proof."
Another noted: "I didn't realise I could cancel through the app store. I waited for Number Guru to respond directly, and they never did. Filing a complaint with my bank was my only option, but it took 40 days. I wish I had known the app store method existed earlier."
Yafee recommends cancelling through your app store within 48 hours of deciding you no longer want the service, and requesting your refund immediately. This combined approach recovers your money fastest.
Why you should act now
Number Guru Limited dissolved over six years ago, yet subscriptions remain active and charges continue. Each billing cycle costs you money for a service that no longer has legal authority to operate. Your consumer protection rights are strongest when you act within 90 days of each disputed charge. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel Number Guru and recover their money by moving decisively through the app store cancellation process, followed by a refund request if necessary.
The steps outlined above take fewer than 10 minutes to complete. The refund process unfolds automatically once you submit your request. By cancelling today, you reclaim control of your subscription and prevent future unauthorized charges from accumulating. Yafee's expert team remains available to guide you through escalation to your bank or the NCDRC if the app store declines your refund request.
Contact Yafee now through yafee.com to document your cancellation, generate evidence for refund claims, or file a formal consumer complaint if you encounter resistance from Apple, Google, or your bank.
