Hold up @Alphatribe

If you just renewed to reactivate service, it should be instant. Try rebooting, resetting network connections, or toggling airplane mode on/off.

When you call *611, what messaging to you hear?

Also, does self serve display your status as "active"?

@Alphatribe you don't need to add minute if you have unlimited plan.

Try to reboot the phone once.

and try to add 1 in front of the 10 digits number

just in as you really need to get to support, please open ticket with them:

1. If you have access to My account: At 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 to you there

@Alphatribe is your mobile data functioning?

If just calls an issue, I wonder if it is a 3G network problem where you are at. if you change your preferred network type to 3G only, does the phone connect to the network at all?

Or can you try your service at another location just to confirm it is not a local network problem?

Either way, you might want to open ticket with PM support first. Please follow the steps above

@Alphatribe If you really need to speak/chat to a rep, the easiest is to message the @CS_Agent

Or follow these two methods:

looks like that might have worked? every third call tells me i ned to add minutes, sometimes just weird dialing static, other times a message that i need to hold while it makes a long distance call (its not). my batting average is going up at least? sigh

@Alphatribe

This should not be happening.

Try removing your sim card, gently cleaning the contacts with a soft eraser, making sure it is reinserted properly in your sim slot. Then reinsert and reboot your phone.

If you continue to get these calling difficulties, ask a customer support agent to reprovision your SIM/ account.

yes, submit another ticket, use both ways, both Chatbot and direct message:

so, i just called star 611, and was connected to intermittent static and conversation between an associate either talking to me or someone else, as it was hard to determine perhaps because of lag? the associate never identified herself. i was then disconnected, and called back and told my billing cycle renews in month. when i dial out any number it says i need to add minutes. but im unlimited...and repeat cycle.

Re: PLEASE HELP

Alphatribe — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 15:52:15 GMT

all the while, i seem to be triggering automated messages from IVR regarding rewards every time i attempt to connect. t

Re: PLEASE HELP

Alphatribe — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 15:52:36 GMT

Re: PLEASE HELP

Alphatribe — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 15:57:06 GMT

okay. trying this one now. sorry missed it last night

Re: PLEASE HELP

Alphatribe — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 16:01:09 GMT

and nothing. okay how does one see a customer support agent with public? like go to a mall kiosk?

Re: PLEASE HELP

softech — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 16:03:53 GMT

@Alphatribe PM does not have any kiosk and live support any more. You really need to engage them via ticket.

Open another ticket and message them again. Important thing is keep checking your Community inbox
