Improvement of acceptance system for cancellation within eight days

DOCOMO has improved the acceptance system for cancellation within eight days as a result of receiving an administrative directive from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications due to failure to process cancellation within eight days when the contract duplicate copy has been signed. For more details, refer to Improvement of Acceptance System for Cancellation within Eight Days (in Japanese only).

The following describes the procedure to cancel your subscription within eight days.
