Account Status: Plan Expired

buiya — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 16:41:21 GMT

My plan renewed today and I have autopay, I know it says disregard but but do I need to reactivate or do anything on my end?

As long as your service works just ignore it. It is normal for your account to show expired. It will change back to active on your renewal date.

You do not have to do anything.

@buiya No, all is good, don't worry! Keep using the service. But just a note that sometimes Autopay can fail, and your account may be suspended. I personally do a manual payment even with enabled Autopay to prevent such issues.

@buiya ignore the status once your service is working properly. The normal PM renewal process is expired, then suspended, payment comes out at 2am est (on the self service account date) then the plan resets for the next 30 day cycle at 6am est. Once your phone is working properly ignore it. Just check for you 611 payment thankyou text message tomorrow.

Stay safe.

As everyone above has suggested..as long as your phone features are still working properly; all is well. Your renewal is happening as it should every 30 days

Just make notes so that next renewal, you'll know what to expect AND you might be in a position to let someone else know what the renewal process looks like.

Welcome to PM.

Agree. But PM server is using the expired status to drive their renewal process.

PM should add a new status called "renewing". After renewal, switch it back to active. If renewal failed, switch account status to failed or suspended.

This will be a major software update with extensive testing

In the meantime @buiya Try these tricks to restart your phone service. You could try in order:
1. Restarting your phone. Turn your phone off, wait 30 seconds and restart.
2.Putting your phone on aeroplane mode for 5 minutes. Take it off and restart.
3.From your self service account enable the lost/ stolen feature log out, wait 5 minutes, log in and take it off. Log out and restart your phone.

Stay safe.

Hey guys! I have the same notification showing on my account today as BUIYA. I am on autopay, but recently I've changed my plan from 15$-25$. Now I don't have any phone service and I can't work today because of this. Is there a way to resolve this today?

Re: Account Status: Plan Expired

Aaron2229 — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 15:11:01 GMT

Hey guys! I have the same info showing in my account like BUIYA. I've change my plan last month of 15$ to 25$ for the next month. It said on my account that the payment had to be paid by Aug. 21, but I am on Autopay. So right now I can't use my phone and can't work. Is there any quick solution that can be done for this today?

Re: Account Status: Plan Expired

Triguy — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 15:12:48 GMT

Log into your account to check the status. Try making a manual payment of a $1. Try rebooting your phone. Also try making your phone lost the wait minutes then change back to found. If you still need assistance then submit a moderator by clicking on the question mark on the bottom right corner.

@Aaron2229 if there is a reactive account button and your account is suspended, your autopay failed. You may reactivate a suspended account online or by calling 611.
Via your account online
1. If you have already registered, or will first register, a credit card, go to step 2. OR deposit a voucher for at least your plan cost and go to step 3.
2. Go to the payment tab, select single payment and amount due.
3. Select the reactivate account button.
4. Restart your phone.
or Using 611 to make your payment: ( you need your 4 digit pin to buy an add on)
1. press 1 to make payment
2. press 2 credit card ( or 1 voucher)
3. press 1 amount due.
4. Restart your phone

If there is no reactivate button try these tricks to reset your service. You could try in order:
1.Restarting your phone. Turn it off, remove the SIM card, reinsert it, wait 5 minutes and restart it.
2.Putting your phone on aeroplane mode for 5 minutes. Take it off and restart.
3.From your self service account enable the lost/ stolen feature log out, wait 5 minutes, log in and take it off. Log out and restart your phone.

If they fail contact the moderators and ask them to apply payment and reactivate your service for you in the former. And to reset your service for you in the latter. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:

Faster response- Get help with your account the easy way by starting a conversation with our virtual assistant, SIMon. It’ll take you to relevant help articles, or if it’s something more urgent, it can help you submit a ticket to the Moderator Team. Click here to get started.
Slower- Alternatively, you can send a private message to the Moderators by clicking here. You’ll need to be logged in to your Community account for the link to work.

Once connected to Simon, you will be asked to log in again with your community user name and password. Please do, this allows you to continue and send your message.
- Check your private message sent box (click on the envelope top right of your screen) to make sure the message was sent.

- Keep an eye on the envelope top right of your screen. The mods answer will show up there. When it does, you will be asked to verify your self service account, with your password and login. Doing so allows the process to continue. Stay safe.

Hey gblackma, thank you for the info much appreciated. I did all the step that you sent me now when I use *611 it's telling me that I don't have any more amount due on my balance. I've change the credit card also on my account and I am still on AutoPay, but my account is still inactive. I can't make any phone calls still. Do you know what's going on?

@Aaron2229 If you're changing plans from $15 to $25, did you also put in the extra funds to cover the difference, that is if you were making an immediate plan change and not change at next renewal in which case it shouldn't be needed?

Also it's always a good idea when changes happen to restart your phone.
