One time credit card payment

Credit card cancelled due to a lost wallet, so Public Mobile suspended my account - argh! Now refusing my wife's card. Please advise?

Before logging into your self-serve account to input new card, recommend following this procedure to avoid the common glitches that sometimes occur with this process:

Clear your browser's cache & cookies
Use incognito mode
Now, log into your self-serve account
Click Payment tab
Select "Manage My Card"
Select "replace card"
Type your address exactly as from your billing statement
Don't use a space in the postal code
Use ALL CAPS if necessary
Type everything, not letting autofill complete any fields

@JamesPratt how many times you tried to add the card? If you tried too many times, you could have triggered a Fraud lock. Open a ticket with PM Support and have them to confirm if a fraud lock is there:

1. If you have access to My account: Click on https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.

Start by typing "Submit a ticket", then click "Contact Us", Then click "Other", then click "Click here to submit a ticket ↗"

2. If you don't have access to My Account or have trouble with Chatbot: Private message CS Agent at:

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

**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after the ticket is opened. CS Agent will reply you there

One time credit card payment

I just click on one time payment and in the middle of the page you can click on manage my card. Then I follow this procedure....

Follow this method when making a manual payment/adding a card to the account....only use the emboldened portion of the instructions if the payment card is already on file.

Reboot your device.
Clear your browser, use secret/incognito mode in firefox, chrome or safari.
Choose replace card rather than remove card.
Copy your address from your billing statement.
Add your apt/unit/suite # to the street address. ie. 101-123 1ST AVE W, CITY, PROV. CANADA or you may need to drop the apt/suite # altogether. Check your official Canada post address.
Do not put a space in the postal code. X0X0X0 not X0X 0X0. If there is a space in the billing address of your card you may need to keep the space and drop the last digit.
USE ALL CAPS if necessary.
Do not use autofill. Type everything manually.
Use the full name on the card including initials, middle names and/or titles such as MRS or DR.
Check the language your card issuer has your account details written in and use the same language in your self serve account.

Once you successfully update your card do not attempt your payment immediately. Log out/in then go to make a payment to pay for your renewal. Otherwise if you were not suspended I would recommend a $1 test payment. Follow my further instructions for a successful payment to unsuspend your account.

Do not try more than two attempts at adding a card or payments ( successful or not) or you will continue to get this message. Wait at least 1 hour to try a third time another hour for your 5th try....and so on....and do not make more than 4 unsuccessful tries with the same card in a 24 hour period or you will trigger a fraud alert lock out requiring assistance from customer support.

Go to make a payment. Choose the "other amount" option and add $1 more than the amount owing and submit the payment. If that is successful go back to your overview page and if it does not say active click on the reactivate button. If that works log out and reboot. If that does not work and your payment is in your balance rather than showing $1 then go to the usage or plans page. Click on lost/stolen and suspend your service. Log out/in. Resume your service. Your balance should now be $1. Log out and reboot.

To contact customer support click below:

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