This article will introduce in detail the process, precautions and FAQs for canceling a remote telecommunications card to help you successfully complete the cancellation operation.
1. The process of canceling telecommunications cards in other places

The process of canceling a remote telecommunications card is similar to local cancellation, but you need to pay attention to the following points:
| steps | Operation content |
|---|---|
| 1. Confirm card status | Make sure there are no outstanding balances and no contract restrictions on the card |
| 2. Prepare materials | Original ID card, mobile phone card, service password |

2.Balance processing: The balance in the card can be applied for refund, but bank account information is required and the process may be lengthy.
3.Agency request: In some areas, cancellation on behalf of an agent is allowed, but the agent’s ID card and power of attorney are required.
