My payment voucher doesn't work

indigoknight111 — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 00:08:05 GMT

What do I do when my payment voucher pin's don't work? I've been paying my phone bill like this for years and for some reason its not working this time. I tried both the 12 digit 'voucher' number and 'PIN' numbers on the receipt, none of them work.

I used to pay by debit card but public mobile doesn't accept my visa debit card anymore.

@indigoknight111

Where did you buy your voucher? And how long has it been since you bought it?

The only other thing that I can suggest is to get in touch with @CS_Agent by private message to see if they can do anything manually to help you.

Thanks but none of that works. Tried clearing cache, cookies, etc... different browsers, reset the computer. Also tried multiple times to call *611 and input the number manually, and that didn't work either. When I try to add a new visa debit card to make a payment I get an error message.

@indigoknight111 Sometimes it can take up to 24 hours for the code to activate. Where did you purchase the code from?

@darlicious might have a better answer.

0PX9O4 — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 00:02:18 GMT

How long has it been since you bought the voucher?

Re: My payment coucher doesn't work

indigoknight111 — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 00:06:37 GMT

Thank you, I will try again in 24 hours. If it still doesn't work I will try contacting someone through here. They should inform customers if sometimes they don't work for 24 hours, if they want to keep their customers happy lol.

Re: My payment coucher doesn't work

indigoknight111 — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 00:07:13 GMT

Thanks for the tip, I will try again tomorrow. They really should put a disclaimer if sometimes it takes 24 hours. Never had this problem before.

Re: My payment coucher doesn't work

indigoknight111 — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 00:07:40 GMT

About an hour. I'll try again tomorrow. I didn't know sometimes they don't work for a day, there should be a warning.

Re: My payment coucher doesn't work

0PX9O4 — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 00:10:16 GMT

To be fair, I've never known it to take a full 24 hours for the voucher to become active. But sometimes it does take several hours. All the best, please keep us posted on the outcome tonight/tomorrow @indigoknight111 !

@indigoknight111

It all depends on where you bought the voucher. If you dont want to share then there is validity times in this thread.

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Voucher-Catalogue/m-p/479165#M343905

Also like credit cards....you only get two attempts total to add a payment with a voucher whether thru self serve or 611. Wait a full hour before trying again.

Edit:

Only use the 12 digit PIN #.

To contact customer support click below:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

To pre-verify your account include your full name, address, email, phone # and 4 digit acct pin #.

@indigoknight111 - if you have been using the same method for years, does that mean you have been buying from the same location as well?

I would expect the same type of application by location, but perhaps not.

I agree with you, the 24 hour period possibility should be posted somewhere, clearly.

If after 24 hours it still doesn't work, I would submit a ticket to CSA and let them know.

When was the last time you tried to add your Visa Debit to your account for Autopay?

Why not try it again, perhaps it will work. 🙂

So after waiting over 24 hours, the pin numbers have worked.

THERE SHOULD BE A DISCLAIMER FOR PEOPLE THAT SOMETIMES THEY DON'T WORK RIGHT AWAY. THAT WAY WE CAN SAVE PEOPLE A LOT OF STRESS AND FRUSTRATION AND WASTED ENERGY.

Re: My payment coucher doesn't work

indigoknight111 — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 20:39:33 GMT

It took me more than 24 hours before mine worked. This has never happened to me before paying this way. There should be a warning to people. Their visa debit payment system also doesn't work. What an unprofessional company.

@indigoknight111 : Agreed. But you came here and got information to get you going eventually. There are a few places that don't have a delay. Now you know one vendor that does. Glad you got it sorted.

@indigoknight111 Glad it works.

Yes, I hear your frustration. But this is more a problem with the voucher transaction system the store uses and not PM problem. It is likely the voucher system didn't sync with PM system immediately , likely it own sync after some late night batch job.

Where did you buy the voucher from? Please mark a note yourself for future reference. From what we know, voucher from SDM/7-11/Shell can be used immediately after purchase.

Well actually, no, it didn't work properly. It did not work as described. I did not receive the service that I paid for. I was not told the service would not work for at least 24 hours. So no, it does not simply 'work'. I have also not been compensated for my problems paying for this faulty service. PM should inform its contractors and salesman that sell the codes to inform people that sometimes they don't work right away. I should not have to be posting on forums asking for help. Totally unprofessional.

indigoknight111 — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 20:45:48 GMT

Its not the vendor because normally their pins work right away, the store I get them from.
