Common questions
Is the TV Licensing number free?
It is a standard-rate 0300 number: the same as calling a landline, inside inclusive minutes on most plans.
Can I cancel my TV licence by phone?
You can start a cancellation and refund request on the TV Licensing website; the phone line handles it too if you prefer to talk it through.
