    You can switch whenever you like but early termination fees will apply until the date your contract ends. There is no "exit window" like there is with energy.

    It takes about 14-21 days to switch provider, so to ensure you are out of contract don't do anything until 14 days to go.

    Hi 1socrates1,

    We require 30 days notice for cancellation, however, if you chose to port over your telephone number to another service provider, they need to make a request to take over the line. This can be done anytime, but if you're still in commitment a cancellation fee will be applied. If you require any further info, you can reach my team via Twitter (@TalkTalk)
