How to Cancel Lively
Skycopia rates Lively as hard to cancel, and you'll have to call. Expect hold time and at least one discount offer before anyone will process it.
Cancellation line: 800-733-6632
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Lively bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Call 800-733-6632 (weekdays 7am–10pm ET, shorter hours on weekends) — this is Lively's own published Customer Care line for changing or cancelling a plan
- 2
Want to keep your phone number when cancelling a Jitterbug line? You must do that part by phone — the online form alone can't port or preserve a number
- 3
Alternatively, sign in at lively.com/myaccount and look for the cancellation-form link on the account overview dashboard
- 4
Get a confirmation number or email before you hang up — get-it-in-writing matters here, since BBB complaints describe billing continuing after a cancellation call
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one, warning you before the retention offer — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
What they'll try to keep you
There's no full self-cancel button in your account — Lively (Best Buy Health's senior medical-alert and Jitterbug-phone brand, formerly GreatCall) wants you on the phone with Customer Care to close the account, and reviewers report billing sometimes continuing after a cancellation request.
Say this: “I want to fully cancel my service effective at the end of this billing cycle — please give me a confirmation number and email it to me.”
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Lively?
Lively bills month-to-month with no long-term contract or cancellation fee on standard plans, but there's no proration either — per Lively's own terms, cancelling mid-cycle doesn't refund the unused days, so time the call near your renewal date. New devices can be returned within 30 days for a refund minus a $10 restocking fee (shipping isn't refundable); after 30 days the device itself is non-refundable even though you can still cancel the service. Exception: the separate Best Buy-sold Apple Watch health & safety bundle is a real 2-year contract — cancelling that one early triggers an early-termination fee up to $200 (the Apple Watch subsidy you received). Don't confuse this Lively with the unrelated WearLively intimates brand, the Lively HSA fintech company, or the Give Lively nonprofit donation platform — this is lively.com, Best Buy Health's medical-alert and Jitterbug-phone service.
