I paid my monthly bill, I have a credit balance and still cannot make a phone call or a text message.

Does your phone show connection to Public Mobile?

Did you try to reboot your phone?

Your account is active?

It is telling me that I used all my minutes when I try to do anything. Even call public mobile.

hi @Dragonlady what plan do you have??

Re: Why can I not make a call or send a text.

What plan do you have. If you have the $15 plan, it only has 100 minutes of outgoing calls.

If you've run outta regular plan minutes, consider getting the $5 / 500 minutes of Canada wide calling add-on.

Those add-on minutes will allow calling after you run out of regular plan minutes. Any unused add-on minutes will roll over at renewal time.

When is renewal date ?

You cannot PM as they have no support number to call.

Can you try your SIM in another phone?

Do you have unlimited calls plan or you have used all your minutes ($15 plan)?

@Dragonlady There are couple of other threads today with other customers who have topped up their account to renew but phone service isn't available. Could be a network tower issue in your area and might resolve itself later on.

If you still don't have service within an hour or so, then you should submit a ticket via chatbot and ask customer support for assistance. Here's a link to chatbot: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help

@Dragonlady

If you rebooted (power off your phone not your screen) your phone several times and your account is Active, there could be an outage in your area. Check the outages map:

Or it could be your device so have it checked out.
