How to cancel a Bbox subscription
You can notify Bouygues of your wish to cancel your Bbox subscription either:
- Over the phone, by calling 614 from a Bouygues Telecom mobile phone, or 1064 from a fixed-line /mobile phone with a plan from another provider.
- By mail (tracked and signed for), at the address Service clients Bouygues Telecom 60436 NOAILLES CEDEX
Your cancellation will become effective 10 days after your request has been received. After that, you will be notified, via your online account, of the equipment you need to return to Bouygues and the before what deadline, along with the penalties incurred if you fail to do so (more about this below).
Bear in mind that the cancellation will incur fees of 2 kinds:
- A fixed fee of €59, regardless of when you cancel
- An additional fee if you do so before your contract period is over (in most cases, 12 months), corresponding to the sum of all the months you had left to pay according to your contract (unless you can prove the cancellation takes place under exceptional circumstances, such as a move abroad, redundancy, detention, over-indebtedness, death...)...
The good news is that, if you cancel your Bouygues Telecom subscription but to switch to another supplier, you will be able to get refunded up to €100 of the fees by your new provider.
Also note that if you want to cancel your Internet plan with Bouygues Telecom, you will be obliged to return all of the rented Bbox equipment, or else you will have to repay it in full. This is important to bear in mind, as, for instance, a non-returned Bbox will cost you a €70 fine, and a non-returned Bbox TV decoder will be fined €320.
Since Bouygues Telecom agencies aren't allowed to receive your returned equipment, you will have to send your Bbox material back to Bouygues, by mail, at the following address:
