Accessing an account.

Scribe_55 — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 02:11:16 GMT

One of a number of my friends I have gotten to join Public Mobile would like to access their account and has been unable to.

She has a Username and password but the login screen asks for an E-Mail address and password.

She enters this information and receives a message that one or the other in incorrect.

How does she get by this because, like so many others who are disgusted with the Public Mobile 'Help' system, I think she is about to close her account.

Try logging in again in incognito : private mode there are cache issues or if you want to change password you would need support

@Scribe_55

The best way to login to your account is using a browser in incognito or private mode.

Then do a refresh of your overview page.

The account login userid is the email address used when signing up. If one or the other is incorrect then maybe perhaps possibly one or the other is incorrect.

She can use the reset password option to reset the password. She can look in all her emails for the welcome email or other marketing emails from here (not community) to find the proper email address.

If she dials 611 on her phone what recording does she get? Has she possibly had a credit card fraud problem recently?

As for being disgusted, yes this place is a little more manual to operate than a full-priced service elsewhere. That's not always a right fit for everyone.

Are you still having difficulties @Scribe_55

Opening up a tab in incognito mode:

*Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS: Press Ctrl + Shift + n.

*Mac: Press ⌘ + Shift + n.

If having issues about which email they signed up with (if you did register for a My Account), use the Forgot your password option to reset it, found here: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/forgot-password

If an email is received (check spam/junk folder) then the email is likely registered.

If the account is currently in suspended status you can also look into obtaining a voucher to make a payment through 611, see here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles?q=vouchers

Locations to obtain some: https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/payment-voucher

For My Account log in issues, you can submit a ticket here to: Create, forgot or change My Account email or password link

I had already tried getting help from an Agent.

Scribe_55 — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 01:40:58 GMT

I went through the reset password, signed on again an, you guessed it, received the message, 'Email or password is incorrect. Please try again, or reset password.'

@Scribe_55

You are trying all of this to sign into the self serve account? Try signing into the rewards account to see if it will accept the login credentials. Don't auto fill type everything individually and double check for any typos like a comma instead of a period ?
