Good advice. Or use lost/stolen if just suspending or change your credit card to a prepaid card** with a less than $1 balance so that autopay fails.
**I have extra cards if a member needs the info for this purpose or to earn the $2 autopay reward if applicable. Private message me if needed.

Do you want to cancel your account? Or do you want to maintain your account and phone number for the least amount of money? You can keep your account and phone # and any associated rewards and add ons for approximately $45 or less (w/rewards) for about 355 days.
Schedule a change plan on next renewal to the $15 plan (Unless you already that plan or less). Suspend your plan via lost/stolen either before midnight eastern on day 30 if you want to maintain active voicemail or after midnight once rewards are applied (if you are on the $$ rewards program) but before 2am eastern.
Mark your calendar and a back alarm to remind you around day 85 to pay and reactivate before day 88/89 to ensure your account does not get cancelled on day 90. Again on day 30 suspend your account as before. And repeat.... you only need to pay for 3×30 days to maintain your account for nearly a year at a cost of 3×$15=$45 - $?(rewards).
Points can be redeemed for $15 bill credits so you can save a similar amount to redeem at least once for a yearly cost of $30 to maintain your account and phone #.
Keep in mind these additional tips....
Most important mark on your calendar day 85 of your suspension and day 90. Do not forget when you must unsuspend your account via lost/stolen and/or pay and reactivate your service so you don't lose your phone number and account. Happy travels!

Remove any credit card info from your account and disable Autopay.
Account will close out permanently after 90 days in Suspension.
Just watch bank info for the next few weeks to be sure.

To suspend and later delete account:
- Disable autopay through self-serving account or dialing 611.
- Remove credit card from your self-serving account.
-- On next renewal your account will be suspended due to no payment and closed after 90 days unless you renew manually.
- PORTing your number to other provider cancels your PM account immediately.
- You can use lost/stolen feature and immediately suspend your account.
