Psyrena — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 20:52:52 GMT

You could make a payment by purchasing a voucher and call 611. Also you can make a payment using recharge.com or ding.com but there is a service charge.

What happens when you dial 611?

If it wants money then you can buy vouchers in many stores or online and redeem them in the 611 service. You can also use the instant top-up service in some stores.

If 611 doesn't work then you have a different problem.

Thanks for reply!

I want to set up auto top up with new credit card (the same as before with old credit card) but I do not have this option to update my card information by dialing 611.

I am in Ottawa, which there is no kiosk here.

I do not know how Vouch works but I want to have auto top up.

Please help. I really need to use my phone.

Indeed you can't add or change the payment card in 611.

Vouchers are store-bought (or online) payments where you get a PIN to enter in 611 or self-serve to add money into your account.

Instant top-up is where you give the clerk your phone number and pay and the amount is deposited automatically. No PIN.

Then when your service is working you can have the time to figure out updating your payment card.

Log into My Account / Payment tab. You can delete old credit card and update with new credit card.

PS...if still locked out you'll have to wait an hour then attempt it again.

Thanks.

Where can I buy the voucher? Do I have to buy Vouch every month?

How can I log in my account again? Am I able to update the payment information there?

Thank you!

Look into recharge.com or ding.com

Also, you can get payment vouchers at the closest retail outlet like 7/11 or Canada Tire. Make sure the voucher is activated right away as some don't activate for several hours after the sale.

Many stores. Convenience stores, Shoppers, Superstore mobile.

No you don't need to buy every month.

Re-gaining access to your account requires asking the moderators to reset it. Did you try the Forgot your password? link?

Once in your self-serve then yes you can remove or update your payment card.

Thank you!

I tried "Forget my password" to reset password, then out of blue, I was locked out of my account, saying I tried many times with wrong password.

Could you please reset my account?

Much appreciated!

Try waiting an hour. Also try using a different browser and incognito mode. Also clear your cache and cookies then reboot.

We're almost all fellow customers just like you. We can't do anything in or see your account. You'll need to ask the moderators.

Thanks.

I can not log in my account. It simply said password not correct, which I used before many times. I click" forget password" to reset it, it does not allow me and lock me out.

Sorry I thought you were a moderator.

Much appreciated your reply.

I tried again, same problem.

I logged in, it says wrong password. I click "Forgot password", it says "you have been locked out".

What should I do?

Go get a voucher either online or a store and use 611 to pay. Or go to a store and do the instant top-up.

Then contact the moderators to reset your login and then you can update your card.

I am also in Ottawa and this solution worked for me. I just crossed my fingers it worked before the Auto-pay came out 🙂
