If you cancel SMS Services, please notify SMS prior to your next monthly billing date. You must initiate cancellation from your Control Panel. If for any reason you cannot cancel from your Control Panel, you may notify SMS of your intent to cancel your subscription by email ([email protected]); however, such cancellations do not become effective until received by SMS. Please note that you cannot cancel by telephone; you must cancel in writing.
