How to cancel your Orange Spain number (with steps)

Orange Spain, which was previously called Amena, is a telecommunications company that was established in 2006. And with a customer base exceeding 11 million, it is also one of the most reliable mobile network providers in Spain. The company primarily focused on offering 4G/LTE services to its customers. And with its recent launch of 5G, the company has already made its mark as one of the best 5G network providers in Spain.

There can be multiple instances when you might not be happy with the network services provided by Orange Spain – either due to a lack of coverage or because plans are overpriced in general. For instance, according to OpenSignal, Orange Spain has an overall 5G availability of just 9.6 per cent, which can be pretty dismal. This means more than 90 per cent of Spain does not have Orange’s 5G coverage.

Furthermore, as Orange Spain’s 5G network can only be utilised by postpaid customers as of now, prepaid customers have to look for a better mobile network carrier elsewhere. While we hope that such a limitation may change soon, there is no denying that the company should have provided the service for prepaid users from the beginning.

Thus, if any of the aforementioned issues have been bothering you or you have your qualms with the services of Orange Spain, then it is high time you make the switch. However, before you go ahead with your deactivation, we need to remind you this. For starters, if you have an ongoing contract with the company – whether it is six months or more – you have to pay an early termination fee if you cancel your number before the maturity date.

Additionally, if you are on a postpaid plan, remember to settle your final bill. Your final bill will be served to you once you register your deactivation request. Non-payment of the final bill can be severe since you have to pay penalties for the same. Therefore, if you want to avoid any troubles, it is advisable to pay any pending dues and obtain a record of proof that can be produced during any litigation process. With that being said, let us now jump on to the various steps you need to follow to deactivate your Orange Spain number.
