Hi @Marg1944 sometimes autopay fails. You can dial 611 and pay for your account either using your pre-registered credit card or by a PM voucher

To make a payment (press 1 on main menu)

To make a payment to your account using your payment voucher – press 1
To make a payment using a pre-registered credit card – press 2

When you go into self service do this. Clear your browser cache/history/cookies. Close browser and open a new browser in incognito/private mode.

Is there a reactivate button there?

1. Is your cc on file?
2. Go to the payment tab, select single payment and amount due.
3. Select the reactivate account button.

FYI:

Autopay sometimes fail. To prevent you from losing service, the recommendation from the PM forum is to make a payment a few days before your renewal date to cover the cost of the plan. The renewal will take the money out of your Available Funds and you can leave your cc on file for the autopay reward.

If you continue to have problems contact a moderator.

Here’s how to contact the Moderator Team (Public Mobile representative) for assistance:

@Marg1944 are your services still working?

if you live in western Canada you're probably just going through your renewal process. ignore the message if you still have service.

to make a manual payment do not choose "amount due" choose "other, enter the desired amount" and manually enter the amount you wish

@Marg1944

As @gpixel posted above if your services are working and your self service account looks like this then everything is fine. You are just going through the renewal process.

Store locations cannot help existing customers. They have no access to the accounts of existing customers.

I tried calling 611. Unfortunately it only accepts a pre-registered card. And the system automatically declined the payment. I called the credit card company and nothing was wrong with the card itself. No payments had been denied. I was left with only one option... to try another credit card. It worked. Some glitch in the system since that credit card had been used for autopay for months without a problem.

Glad it worked out for you. Autopay does fail at times. Do a manual payment a few days before your renewal date to add funds to your Available Funds. The renewal will take the money from your Available Funds. The credit card is left on your account for the $2 autopay reward.

If you need to put the original card back on try clearing your browser cache and going into incognito mode. If you continue to have problems contact a moderator by choosing the chat bubble in lower right hand corner of the screen.
