Payment failed

psk0812 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 17:19:57 GMT

Hello, I have been a public customer for a few months. The auto pay always worked fine. This month I logged in to see my auto pay has failed. I have been trying for hours to register my card but it keeps saying reg. Failed. Is there any way to make a one off payment or Should I just switch to a different. Company and port my number. I need my phone, but it looks like Public don't want my business!

Try dialing 611 to make your payment.

@psk0812 you can buy a voucher at any of these locations.

Note, not all vouchers are created equal. For instant top ups try gas ststions. Please note, to port your number out, your account must be active unless you port to Koodo or Telus.

Now about your credit card. Remove the one currently. Restart your device wait 1 hour from last attempt, clear your browser history, go to private/ incognito mode and try again to add it. When entering your credit card information:
1. Enter the credit card address exactly as it appears on your statement ( capitalize all if necessary ).
2. Leave the apartment field blank, if applicable enter your apt in the street address field ie xxx - street address.
3. Enter your postal code without spaces ( if there is a space on the credit card statement then enter the first 5 digits only with the space).

If you get it added, 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 it fails, your credit card may be locked from too many attempts. Contact the moderators and ask them to add it for you, apply payment and to reativate your service for you. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:

@psk0812 you can go to Esso for an instant top up to get your services working while you wait for your card to be registered by customer support

@psk0812 Unfortunately, Autopay can fail time to time. Make a manual payment through your self-service account and restart your phone.

The same thing has suddenly happened to me. I have tried adding money through 611. I have tried adding money manually. I get this message:

"Unable to process this transaction.
Sorry, we are unable to verify your credit card information, so this transaction could not be completed. Your credit card has not been charged."

My credit card has plenty of funds. My credit card has been working for autopay for months. My credit card has not expired.

For situations like this, it would be nice to get some proper support.

@psk0812 and @garfimon Can you both try clearing your cache/cookies and use a different browser with incognito/private mode enabled. Then retry making your payments.

I have the same problem. I'm on autopay and I tried to make a call. Says my account is suspended. Checked my public mobile account and tried to pay, but says unable to process transaction...

@mchuahua Are your phone services working? Unless your services have stopped also, it's safe to ignore that message as it's a known irritant during renewal.

You can also try making a payment by dialing 611 either with your registered CC or prepaid voucher purchased from any retailer or gas/convenience store.

Phone services are not working. Unable to text either. 611 with registered CC also gives error. I've already contacted PM mods.
