Is there a way to pay one large payment every year?

@JoJo626 Not sure why you would and don’t recommend it . But yes you can buy vouchers and load them on for whatever amount you want

HI @JoJo626

PM is prepaid provider, if you paid too much and want to cancel or leave early, you won't get money back

and yes, you can login My Account, go to Payment page and then make a lump sum payment. I think there is a maximum of $100 or $150 for each transactions, but you can make multiple transaction of that maximum amount

Again, make sure you understand no refund and not transferable

HI @JoJo626

are you on vacation and try to keep alive the phone number?

you can save some money by using the trick that account can be suspended for 90 days maximum. Which mean you change the account to $15, then make it active for 30 days, let it suspend for 90 days (better just be 80 days to be safe) and then pay for another 30 days and loop like that

You can add enough funds to your Account to pay your bill for as many months/years in a row as you'd like.

'Add Funds with Credit or Debit Card'

@JoJo626

shouldn't load too much in case you find a better cell provider. If you decide to go elsewhere while you have $$ sitting on your account...you likely won't get any refund at Public Mobile. If you have a valid credit / debit card you can add that to your account and set to Autopay. You can even get a reloadable debit card set to Autopay and add a few $$ to that card. That way, if you do leave, you're not gonna be out those funds.
