So You Want to Break Up With the Philly Inky? We Get It.
Let's face it, even Rocky Balboa needed a break from Philadelphia sometimes.

The Dreaded Phone Call: Your Not-So-Secret Weapon
According to the Inquirer themselves (those sneaky devils!), canceling your subscription can only be done by phone. Yes, you read that right. In this age of online everything, you'll need to dust off your flip phone (or, you know, your regular phone) and dial their customer service line at 215.222.2765.
Be prepared for some hold music though. We recommend this as prime earworm removal time. Blast some Taylor Swift, belt out a showtune, or maybe even learn the Inquirer's jingle by heart (just kidding... unless?).
Another thing to keep in mind: Their customer service hours are a bit... unique. They're available seven days a week, but weekdays are 6:30 am to 3:00 pm ET and weekends are a narrower 7:30 am to 12:00 pm ET. So plan your escape accordingly.
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
Pro Tips for a Smooth Breakup
- Be polite but firm. Remember, these are just the messengers (of news, that is).
- Have your account information handy. This will make the process nice and speedy.
- Ask about any final charges. You'll want to know when you can expect your access to end completely.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling particularly bold, you can try mentioning that you found a better deal on local news coverage from a carrier pigeon service. Just be prepared for some surprised laughter.
You're Free! Now What?
Congratulations! You've successfully cut the cord (or rather, the phone line) and are officially Inquirer-independent. Celebrate with a cheesesteak (because, well, Philadelphia) and explore the vast world of news outlets at your fingertips.
