@wendywu2020 not sure I understand the question, but if you set up autopay, you get $2 discount every month, plus, you do not need to worry about making the payment every month. It gets charged to your credit card each renewal.

@wendywu2020 - Does your self serve account show that you have a balance? By the way, what plan are you on?

IF you activated your sim card in July, but only started using it in your phone at the end of August, you need to pay again in September. Payment starts when you activate the SIM, not when you put it in the phone and start using it.

Hi @wendywu2020 ,

Public Mobile is every 30 days (not monthly). So you cannot set a bill/charge day with Public Mobile to be consistent for every month.

Were you on autopay, and then it failed to pay upon renewal?

If so, unfortunately, that can happen sometimes. If you want to make sure to prevent this, top up your account a few days before your renewal is due and you should not have any issues.

I am trying to understand what had happened.

Jul 26 pay for next 30 days cycle and your next renewal should be August 25 because the month of July has 31 days and PM billing cycle is 30 days.

You missed payment on August 25, you pay again on Aug 27 and reactivate your account on Aug 29. You next renewal date is Sep 28 as August has 31 days.

I am not clear why your next renewal date is Sep 9. Am I correct for what I said above?

Call 611 from your phone. It will tell you your next payment due date.

@wendywu2020 if you paid on August 29, then your next bill will be 30 days from then. To find out when your next payment is due dial 611 from your phone. To prevent your autopay from failing. When you get your 611 3 day payment reminder text message. Log into your self service account and do a one time payment for the cost of your plan. Stay safe.

my plan is monthly $25 with 500+500 GB data. I already use 1 year.

If I pay bill to my credit card account this months end Sep 9 2020. that mean I pay two time on last payment ( one time pay pubile mobile account , one time pay credit card account). my credit card bank just take money form me. bank let me talk to public mobile . pubilc mobile should be check it get money two time .

after solve it . it should be continous auto pay again.

@wendywu2020 call 611 from your phone. It will tell you exactly when your next payment is due. Also check the overview system of your account, the dates should match. What's the date that your next payment is due.

@wendywu2020 - As mentioned previously, Public Mobile works on a 30 day cycle (not 1 month). This means that you might end up with two Public Mobile charges in the same statement from your bank. It Also means that you might not have any Public Mobile charge during the month of February (depending on your cycle dates for that month).
