@Dwaynehill

Some vouchers aren't activated right away.

Either try later or try through calling 611

@Dwaynehill

Try logging into your account using a browser in incognito or private mode first. Then try again.

Maybe even try logging into your account using a computer or laptop instead of your mobile phone. See if that works for you.

You might want to reach out to a Customer Support Agent and get help from them.

Use the Chatbot Simon to get a service ticket started first. The link is at the bottom of this page.

@Dwaynehill

What message are you getting when dialing 611?

Re: Voucher

Dwaynehill — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 23:27:32 GMT

It says to make a payment using a voucher press 1...I do that then enter the 12 digit pin and then it says I'm sorry we cannot process this pin

@Dwaynehill

That is weird, maybe go back to place of purchase for a refund.

@Dwaynehill

Click on the three little dots in the upper right corner and then choose incognito mode for the browser.

@Dwaynehill

You might want to just reach out to a Customer Support Agent, like I suggested before.

Have you bought vouchers from this store before? Does the voucher have any mention of Public Mobile on it? If there are any instructions on it are they the right instructions?

What balance is in your account? Is it possible that the voucher did go in? Are your services working?

Also, if you're tried more than a couple in an hour then you would need to wait more. So indeed the easiest might be just to contact support. But I'm wondering if the voucher is a Public voucher.

I pay with vouchers since I experienced an auto pay failure nearly 3 years ago.

Lately I have been getting my vouchers at the Superstore, but have also been Canadian Tire. I haven't had a delay with any activation, but it's possible. The other possiblilty is that you were charged for the voucher and somewhere on the receipt it says that the activation has failed (been there with a gift card before) due to a Point of Sale Activation issue. Retailers don't like those headaches.

I have caught myself entering the wrong code on the receipt before. @darlicious has a catalog of samples of vouchers and their quirks from various vendors. Maybe take a look at that.

Hopefully the issue gets solved for you.

@Dwaynehill

The error message you recieved bothers me. Since more than 48 hours has passed there should be no issue with validity. This leads me to believe there is either an issue with the terminal that produced the vouchers or more likely an issue with pm's payment system processing and accepting them for payment. There have been two times in the past year that this has been issue. Contact customer support to add the vouchers for you.

It would be helpful to know where you did purchase them? For more info on vouchers...
