@fiddler79 I'm hoping this resolved itself yesterday like it did for many of us, but if not, please use this link to send the moderators a private message.  Include your phone number and a description of the issue.

Woke up to my account suspended and when I try to call out it says I need to make a payment.  I signed up early August and for 90 days. My account says my next payment date is November. There is no sense to this. I also would like to PM the support but WHO do I send the email to?

If this is a complicated fix, then as a short-term measure, PM could modify the account display so customers aren't unnecessarily alarmed by the "expired" status. It could be something as simple as including a message alongside the status saying:
"If today was your regular payment due date and you have registered for autopay renewal or already have sufficient funds in your account, do not be alarmed by your account's temporary expired status, as the payment will be collected soon and your service renewed without interruption.  No further action is required from you unless your service stops. Thank you for choosing Public Mobile."

@Chaos_Scorpio yes that would be great, but this issue needs to be addressed.  This should not be an onus on the customer to come here to search, it should just work and not freak them out like it does today. I know it's working as designed but the design is flawed and needs to be fixed.

 

@Jeremy_M and @David_J I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record but come on, please address this ASAP.

then the forums would be very empty ... This topic is easily searchable, I wish people would search first (way faster to find an answer)

The expired/account suspended message normally appears in your self-serve account at each renewal. If you are registered for autopay or you've already made a payment, no action is required from you as long as your service is working. On your payment due date (May 28), here's what to expect normally:
1. Expiration of completed period. Account will show "plan expired" on payment due date.
2. Conversion of all rewards to available funds at midnight; rewards reset. Payment is not collected yet at this point. Account will now show "Your account has been suspended" in big red letters.
3. In the early hours of the morning (May 29), available funds will be used (if any), credit card will be charged (if necessary), and plan will be renewed. Account status will then show as "active."
Throughout this process, your service should be uninterrupted. You only need to contact a moderator for help if your service actually stops (can't make calls or use data).

That's normal. Check in the morning and it will be back to Active.
