Is switching my mobile number notice of cancellation?
I have recently switched mobile provider to a new sim only deal and had understood that the act of switching was sufficient notice of cancellation to my old provider.Is that right or should I have done something else to cancel?I have cancelled my monthly direct debit which I would have thought would incentivise them to provide me with my final bill but I am yet to receive it over 7 weeks since I switched.I have in the meantime written to my provider requesting a final bill but have so far received no response.

If you used a PAC then yes, it should terminate the previous contract.1

Yes, when your number ports to the new provider, service with the old one terminates.Cancelling your direct debit was a bad idea, your credit file can be trashed when they try to take take final payment (and refund for unused period), and cannot.Evolution, not revolution2

Never cancel the DD, as eD says
