Subscription GetContact Premium provides advanced functions for identification calls, but not all users need them all the time. Many people are faced with the problem: how to properly disable autopayment to avoid debiting funds? In this article, we will look at all the current methods for deleting a subscription via a Androiddevice, including nuances for different versions of the application and stores (Google Play, AppGallery, direct payments).
Feature GetContact Premium is that a subscription can be issued not only through Google Play, but also through alternative payment systems (for example, UnitPay or bank cards directly). This complicates the cancellation process - standard instructions from the Internet often do not work. We have collected all working methods, including hidden settings and contacting support.
Why it is important to cancel your subscription in advance
Most users forget that auto-renewal triggers automatically 24โ48 hours before the end of the current period. If you delete the application or simply stop using it, the money will still be debited. This is stated in user agreement service.
Key points:
- ๐ Google Play: auto-renewal occurs in the background, even if the application is deleted.
- ๐ณ Direct payments (via website): debiting occurs on a schedule that is not synchronized with Google.
- โณ Cancellation period: you have up to 48 hours after the charge to request a refund through support.
โ ๏ธ Attention: If the subscription was issued via AppGallery (on devices Huawei), it cannot be canceled via Google Play. Use separate instructions for Huawei ID (section 4).
Before you proceed to cancel, check:
- Which application store was the subscription purchased through (see
Settings โ Account โ Subscriptionson Google Play). - Date of next debit (displayed in your personal account GetContact or in a receipt in the mail).
- Linked payment card (if you paid directly through the site).
Method 1: Cancellation via Google Play (the most reliable)
If the subscription was made through Google Play, this method will work in 95% of cases. The instructions are valid for all versions Android (from 8.0 and higher).
Steps:
- Open Google Play Market on your phone.
- Tap profile avatar in the upper right corner โ select
Payments and subscriptions. - Go to the tab
Subscriptionsโ find GetContact Premium in the list. - Click on subscription โ select
Cancel subscription. - In the window that appears, indicate the reason (for example, โNot neededโ) and confirm the cancellation.
After cancellation, you will receive a notification by email associated with Google account. Access to premium features will remain until the end of the paid period.
โ๏ธ Verifying successful cancellation
โ ๏ธ Attention: If the button Cancel subscription is inactive, then the subscription was not issued through Google Play. Proceed to method 2 or 3.

| The subscription has been cancelled, but money continues to be debited | Contact support Google Pay with a receipt |
Method 2: Cancellation through your GetContact personal account
If the subscription was made directly through the website GetContact (for example, using a promotional code or through a bank card), it can only be canceled in your personal account. This method is also suitable for users iOS, but we are interested in Android-version.
Instructions:
- Open the browser on your phone and go to getcontact.com.
- Log in using the same phone number that is linked to the subscription.
- Go to section
Profile โ My subscriptions. - Find an active subscription Premium and click
Manage. - Select
Cancel auto-renewaland confirm the action.
If the section My subscriptions is missing, it means:
- ๐ฑ You are logged in under another number (check the linked account).
- ๐ฐ The subscription was issued through a third-party service (for example, UnitPay or Robokassa).
- ๐ Servers GetContact temporarily unavailable (try again later).
What to do if you donโt have access to your phone number?
If you have lost access to the number associated with your subscription, recovery is only possible through support. Write to support@getcontact.com with the subject "Restoring access to your account" and attach:
- Payment receipt (if yes)
- Last 4 digits of the linked card
- Approximate date of subscription
Processing the request takes up to 3 business days.
After cancellation, you will receive a letter to the email specified during registration. If there is no letter, check the folder. Spam or repeat the procedure.
Method 3: Cancellation via AppGallery (for Huawei owners)
On smartphones Huawei (and some models Honor) applications are installed through the company store AppGallery. Subscriptions issued here are not displayed in Google Play, so separate instructions are required.
How to cancel:
- Open AppGallery on your phone.
- Tap on the profile icon in the lower right corner โ
My account. - Select
Subscriptionsโ find GetContact Premium. - Click
Manage subscriptionโCancel auto-renewal. - Confirm the action via SMS or fingerprint (if required).
โ ๏ธ Attention: On some firmware EMUI the "Subscriptions" section may be called "Payments" or "My Orders". If you donโt find it, use the search inside AppGallery.
Features AppGallery:
- ๐ To cancel, you may need a password from Huawei ID.
- โฑ Request processing time - up to 24 hours (as opposed to instant cancellation in Google Play).
- ๐ง Notification of successful cancellation will be sent to the email associated with Huawei ID.
If you have a smartphone Huawei without Google services, but you installed GetContact via APK, the subscription could be issued through a third-party payment aggregator. In this case, check the SMS from the bank with. confirmation of payment - the service will be indicated there (for example, UnitPay or PayPal).
Method 4: Cancellation through a bank or payment system
If the subscription is linked to a bank card directly (without Google Play or AppGallery), cancel it can be done through:
- ๐ฆ Personal account of the bank (section "Regular payments").
- ๐ณ Mobile application of the bank (tab "Automatic payments").
- ๐ Bank support service (report blocking write-offs from GetContact).
Example for Sberbank Online:
- Open the application โ go to
Payments โ My auto payments. - Find GetContact or GETCONTACT LTD in the list.
- Tap on payment โ
Cancel.
For other banks (Tinkoff, VTB, Alfa-Bank) the algorithm is similar. The main thing is to find the section with regular write-offs.
โ ๏ธ Attention: Cancellation through the bank only blocks future payments, but does not cancel the current subscription. To completely deactivate Premium, additionally cancel it in your personal account GetContact (method 2).
| Bank | Path to auto payments | Processing time |
|---|---|---|
| Sberbank | Payments โ My auto payments |
Instantly |
| Tinkoff | Payments โ Regular payments |
Up to 1 hour |
| VTB | Payments โ Templates |
Up to 24 hours |
| Alfa-Bank | Payments โ My payments โ Automatic payments |
Instantly |
Method 5: Contact GetContact support
If none of the methods worked, all that remains is to write to the service support. This is relevant in the following cases:
- ๐ The subscription was issued through a promotion or affiliate app.
- ๐ต There is no access to the account Google or Huawei ID.
- ๐ธ A double debit of funds has occurred.
How to contact support:
- Send an email to support@getcontact.com with the subject
Cancel Premium subscription. - Indicate in the body of the email:
- Phone number linked to the account
- Date of subscription (approximately)
- Last 4 digits of a bank card (if you paid with it)
- Reason for cancellation (for example, โI donโt use the serviceโ)
- Attach a screenshot of the payment receipt (if available).
Response period is from 1 to 3 business days. In most cases, the subscription is canceled retroactively (with a refund for the unused period), but this depends on the policy of the service.
If the subscription was issued using a promotional code from a partner (for example, through MTS or Beeline), it can only be canceled at the source. For example, for a promo from MTS write to the support of the operator, and not to GetContact.
What to do if money continues to be written off
If, after canceling the subscription, funds are still debited, follow the algorithm:
- Check the source of the debit:
- ๐ In the SMS from the bank or statement, find the name of the recipient (for example,
GOOGLE *GetContactorGETCONTACT LTD). - ๐ฑ If the debit goes through Google Play, but the subscription is cancelled, request a refund in Google support.
- ๐ In the SMS from the bank or statement, find the name of the recipient (for example,

Yes, but only during 48 hours after write-off. To do this:
