If you’re thinking of changing phone or internet providers, there’s more to it than just signing up for a new plan. Hidden services, unported numbers, and old accounts still ticking over can leave you paying for things you no longer use — sometimes for months.
What Other Providers Don’t Tell You About Changing Voice & Internet Services
Most providers keep their “switching advice” short and sweet:
“Sign here, we’ll set up your new service. Just cancel your old one when you’re ready.”
It sounds simple… but it’s the trap that leaves businesses paying for months of services they thought were gone.
🚫 The Hidden Risk
When you’re told to “just cancel your old services,” you’re left to figure it out on your own.
That means:
Double billing for internet services
Unported numbers that customers can’t reach you on
Forgotten services still quietly charging your account
📌 Real-World Mistakes We See
New internet connected… but old NBN service still active → paying twice
Main business number ported… but extra VoIP lines still billing
Alarm systems, EFTPOS, or fax lines left behind and forgotten
No confirmation your old account is actually closed
❓ Why This Happens
Limited scope – They only move what you specifically request.
No audit – No one checks your full account for hidden services.
Not their problem – Once you’re signed up, it’s up to you.
