If you need to cancel your service(s), please call TDS®. If we have not received a request to disconnect your service(s), you will continue to be billed for your regular monthly service charges. If you want to discontinue services, please call 1-888-CALL-TDS (225-5837).
Note: For security purposes, all callers must be appropriately verified before TDS can discuss or make changes to accounts and services.
Final TDS Bill Information
If you are cancelling services, you may be responsible for the full billing period of the current bill cycle. Charges are listed by service type and the dates shown indicate the time to which charges apply. Most service is subscription-based, which means refunds or credits do not apply if you cancel before the end of your billing period.
Example: If you request a disconnect on the October 25 and your billing cycle began on the October 16, you’d be responsible for the full billing period service charges from October 16 to November 15. Service charges will/may not be credited back to the date of disconnect, October 25.How to Make Your Final Payment
After your services are disconnected, you’ll no longer have access to the TDS online payment system (ePay). TDS has 3 options for paying any final balance after you have disconnected your services.

TDS Payment Center
P.O. BOX 94510
Palatine, IL 60094
- Pay over the phone through our automated payment system ($3.95 fee)
