Ang fees ay hindi refundable kahit na ang serbisyo ay kinansela ng user bago matapos ang anim na buwan.
Sa unang walong araw (trial period) ng My 050 number subscription, walang ibabawas para sa application fee o 050 number maintenance fee. Subalit kung ang user ay naglagay ng funds sa kanyang account sa panahon ng trial period at nagdesisyon na kanselahin ang subscription sa panahon ng unang walong araw na ito, ang nadepositong balanse ay hindi maaaring i-refund. - The aforementioned application fee together with the first maintenance fee will be deducted from the customer's Brastel account balance on the 9th day after the application is validated and a 050 number is obtained.
