Long distance add on?

eblundell — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 12:05:36 GMT

So, i paid my phone time at 6am.. still told me i didnt have enough funds. I emailed in, and was told to restart my phone.. i did.. now it's telling me i can not make calls (not even to my voicemail) because i dont have a long distance add on plan. My plan is the $35 a month.. unlimited text, 1.5gb data, unlimited canada wide calls..

Bascially telling me i have no service at all, when on my account it says my plan was paid for and next payment is May 4th.... i need help ASAP... this is my only contact between myself and my childrens school!!!

@eblundell In self serve, the account status is showing as active?

Try the lost / stolen trick. Log into self serve. Click Plans & Addons. Click Lost/Stolen phone. Click Suspend service. Log out of self serve. Reboot phone. Wait 10 minutes. Log back in. Go back to the same place and say found phone. Reboot phone.

Did you load the money to your available funds? it should have two steps, first, load money to available fund, second, purchase the add on.

While you're waiting for the mods...another thing to try is to manually add another $1 into your account and after success restart the phone.

@Wael1974What plan are you on? Can you log into selfserve and see if you have any minutes left?
