Contract cancellation due to moving abroad (Language barrier issues)

I am writing to urgently request assistance with canceling my NOS services, as I am permanently moving abroad in one week.

Two weeks ago, I submitted my service deactivation request through the my NOS portal/app. I received a message stating that I would be contacted. However, it has been impossible to complete this process due to a severe language barrier:

  1. I received a few calls from your customer service team, but as soon as I informed the agents that I only speak English, they told me they would call me back within the hour. No one ever called back, and the contacts simply disappeared.
  2. I visited the physical NOS Store at Almada Forum to resolve this in person and drop off my equipment (router/boxes). However, the staff there informed me that cancellations could only be handled over the phone.

Since I am leaving Portugal in one week, I urgently need to formalize this cancellation, return the equipment, and obtain an official drop-off receipt to avoid any non-return penalties.

Hello ​@Muhammad Adnan Anwar, welcome to the NOS Forum.

We appreciate your message and are sorry to hear about the situation you described.

We’ll help look into this. Please send us a private message to the ​@Fórum profile with the NIF associated with your contract.

Thank you


@Rafaela F. 

I provided my NIF 5 days ago as requested, but no action was taken. Instead, I received a call and was left on hold for over an hour before I had to disconnect because no one answered (a picture attached for your reference).

I am leaving Portugal tomorrow permanently. I cannot and will not answer any more phone calls because of the language barrier and because my Portuguese number will be deactivated.

I have visitied NOS Almada forum several time but got no solution. Please consider this post as my final notice and I will not responsible for device after that.

Hello ​@Muhammad Adnan Anwar,

We’re really sorry for this situation. Let us help analise what happened.

Please, send us a new private message to the ​@Fórum profile with your NIF.

Thank you


@Rafaela F. I have shared the NIF number again, although you already have it. But hopping this time you will try to resolve my issue.
I will again stat my situation.
I am leaving Portugal permanantly tomorrow and trying to return the device and deactivate connection from last 3 weeks. Simple is tell me the procedure how I can return the device. I have visited Almada Forum NOS but they said first you need to tell this via call (very strange). Just tell me where and how I can return the device as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and help.
