Not canceling your account will cause trouble! The woman’s mobile phone number was down for five years and she owes 7,700 yuan in arrears

According to Ms. Huang, she applied for a two-month broadband package five years ago and was given a phone card and a mobile phone as a gift. After the broadband package expired, she did not use the signal. However, she never imagined that she would still owe so much after the mobile phone number was shut down.

In this regard, Telecom stated that Ms. Huang applied for a two-year Lexiang 3G package with a monthly charge of 189 yuan, and the total charge for two years was 4,536 yuan.

As for the lack of reminder for overdue payments, China Telecom responded that Ms. Huang did not leave any other contact information and they had no way of notifying her! In addition, Telecom also emphasized that Ms. Huang is using a contract phone with Telecom. If the account is not canceled in time, late fees will be incurred due to arrears, so if it is not used, it must be canceled in time.
