To cancel a contract with Movistar in Spain, you can follow these steps:

2. During the call, ask for the case file number (Nº expediente) for the cancellation (baja) and make a note of it[1].
3. The customer service representative may ask you the reason for the cancellation. If you have made up your mind, you can give your final say[2].
4. Provide the security PIN sent to your number via SMS to the customer service agent to deactivate your number[2].
5. Movistar may charge you for any equipment that needs to be returned. Make sure to return the equipment, such as the router, to avoid additional charges[4].

However, calling the customer service number is generally the most convenient and efficient method.
