The bills are very confusing and can't submit the way they are formatted for business expenses. They don't show the total owing nor the taxes. I would switch my husbands phone plan to public mobile but can't until the billing shows the data that is needed for govt audit purposes.

I would think you would get a lot more businesses that would switch over once you improve the billing. You can't even download a proper bill, you just print screen. This is not an acceptable format for businesses.

@shan7 Unfortunately the current self-serve does not show the amount paid in a nicely formatted including the tax amount. To get a receipt, you will have to contact CS Agent.

@shan7 PM does prepare official receipt upon request. Here is a sample of the bill and the experience from another Community member

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Request-a-Receipt-for-your-Account-Charges-from-Public-Mobile/td-p/484048

Please open a ticket with PM support if you need the official invoice. Please note it will take them 2 or 3 weeks to prepare, so, request a batch instead of just one every month

Yes, that is a tedious way to get a copy of bills. Most business owners cannot be bothered to submit for a bill. Most other companies have the self serve feature of downloading bills from their account. I have requested copies of my bill before but find it cumbersome to do so every month.

@shan7

You’re definitely correct, and I think you will find that on 3rd tier providers, you won’t get a lot of bells and whistles.

@shan7

If the invoice is needed for tax filing purposes it is most efficient for both the customer and customer support to request an invoice for the past 360 days of paid service shortly after your final renewal of in a calendar year (Your renewal that occurs between December 1st and December 31st). It can take up to 30 days for you to recieve your invoice from customer support. This will allow enough time for you to receive the invoice for remittance to an employer or for the preparation of personal or business income taxes before the tax filing deadline.

Use the link supplied by @softech to view an example of a hard copy invoice in the thread by @AE_Collector that gives instructions on how to make this request.

You can private message @CountyDownIeUk who has created an excel program to download your account billing charges from your self serve account for personal record keeping. He is happy to share it with his fellow pm customers....thats just the kind of guy he is when he isnt helping out here on the community or making his latest stained glass creation.

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 #.

I agree but that is some of the give and take for the value in other areas unfortunately
