Hello Community,
You talked, and we listened. We are excited to announce the latest improvements made to the EverSafe experience.
In our commitment to make changes that are meaningful for our customers, here are a few of the EverSafe updates we have made based on your feedback.
Shortened EverSafe Account Creation
We have made the account creation process 30% shorter by reducing the number of steps to create your EverSafe account. This will make it easier to navigate from start to finish.
‘Need Help’ button & Help Article
If you encounter challenges while logging into or creating your EverSafe account, each step in your journey will now include a 'Need Help' button located at the bottom of the screen, which will direct you to our EverSafe Troubleshooting Help Article.
Improved Error Messages
We have updated a variety of our error messages to make them easier to understand with clearer next steps. We appreciate your support and value your ongoing feedback.

100% agree, changes are never good on this site. Why not have a few testers that can send issues to your tech. Like for example your Sim shop, the address Area to enter is one line and no format to enter info. Continues to come up as invalid no matter how I enter. Also looking to change my plan but it wants a full month today even tho I'm in middle of month on current plan?

System changes are wack. I tried to purchase Sim but when I need to input address, it's comes up as a single line. And no matter the format or style I enter it says invalid address, also it's says address different that what's on account. Why can't I click on my address that's already on my account. Seems silly. How can more people join if they can't get a Sim. Also, when will you ever get a data plan only for tablets.

Best if it should allow multiple options for authentication like authenticator app, email ?

To be fair, I've been around here long enough to witness many changes.
Most of them are good.
Some of them are controversial. A mixed of good and bad.
And some of them - like EverSafe - are clearly unwanted anti-consumer inconveniences which frustrate and annoy and are implemented in badly bungled ways. The harder they try to sell it, the more you should ask yourself why you need to buy it.

Eversafe + Improvement should never be used in same sentence...
Everytime you guys make a change it breaks something and now we need wait for CS to process the backlog in service requests...

Hello Public Mobile,
After your update with Eversafe, my account cannot proceed payments cause there is a conflict between my last name in my profile and in Eversafe ID, my name in my family name profile is correct, but in my Eversafe ID is shorter, i tried to edit and correct it but the field for last name in EversafeID doesnt accept more than 13 Characters(letters) and my last name is longer than 13 Characters (alphabetic letters)
Thank you in advance for your support

This is what I suggested the support of Authentication app. First of all I am using a dual SIM phone in the basement with PB and Rogers (work). Rogers has 3 bars and PB has only 1. My 2FA is a hit and miss. Not sure if it is a dual sim thing or signal strength issue but this happens even I ran upstairs with 3 bars.

For over an hour I am trying to log into my account to view my charges, to no avail. The site is very fast for asking for the 2-factor verification code. But beyond that, just lags. Is this part of the improvement you are referring to? There is not indicator anywhere that the site is down or slow.

Would be great if it supports Authentication app as I don't receive the code within 4min when I'm working on a computer at basement.

I had the eversafe set up on his account, yes. When I tried to select “didn’t get code/resend code” it only gave me a voice option of some sort, that was still inaccessible, given the phone was lost. No email code option. I am currently waiting for a reply from the CS, who said my son’s PIN doesn’t match their records, yet the last CS who asked for it, a week ago, in order to pause the plan & mark the phone as lost, didn’t say the PIN was not correct. It’s been a frustrating rigamarole, to say the least!

@KMR77- Had you already made the eversafe account with this account? If you click on the didn't get code or resend code link then you should get an email option. You can also reactivate accounts that suspended for lack of payment via vouchers or instant top-up using the 611 service (but not after using the lost/stolen function). If you know your 4 digit account pin then you can use the 611 service to pay with the registered card.

While I appreciate extra security, this eversafe feature presents a frustratingly impossible issue, when one has lost a phone, and the only way to report said phone as lost, is to sign into the account, and eversafe sends the access code to the LOST phone, with no alternative option to send to email. I encountered this issue when my son lost his phone recently. I had to submit a ticket and wait for a reply, and tie up a CS agents time, when the logical solution to this issue would be to allow for security codes to be sent to email, in situations when the phone is not accessible. I read in the community forums, that this was once an option, but for some reason it is no longer. Now my son’s phone has been found. Hooray! Yet, again, I am encountering the impossible issue of not being able to sign in to his account, to reactivate his plan, as, AGAIN, the security code is being sent to a phone that is NOT accessible, since it does not have an active data plan. Can someone please pass this feedback on to the appropriate division, so this security feature makes logical sense??

It's missing the option for didn't get the code when you are just setting up your account.

Don't take impersonal things so personally.
Telus stopped caring about actual end-users long, long ago. It's no surprise that a Telus-owned Telus-operated subsidiary is just same Telus under a different brand.
Dissent, complain, take your business elsewhere, and "never" come back? You won't be the first. You won't be the last. EverSafe was installed by Telus, it serves their purposes well enough (even if it is an unwanted, broken inconvenience for some of us), they have no real reason to uninstall it.

@Johndoe223 you can submit ticket via a private message to @CS_Agent while in Community.
11-08-2023 07:42 AM
yessssss!!!! Out of no where my phone went into SOS mode and my e sim stopped working and when I got into the public mobile web or app it says “Unauthorized Access.”
11-08-2023 07:41 AM
Can you please give me an email to contact you guys at or something because my account is locked and I can’t seem to get a hold of anyone

I cannot log into my account and my service has been suspended. Is anyone else having this issue? I paid my bill on time, so I am not sure what the issue is.
11-07-2023 08:19 PM
Sounds good on paper, but let's see what people say come tomorrow ...
11-07-2023 05:30 PM
Improvements???
Loading the login page takes longer than ever, assuming that it doesn't come back with the "unauthorized" message first. "Trusted device" option is broken now. And at this point it's minutes to load the usage indicators on the landing page...
This is getting old quite fast, Public Mobile. You are a self-serve provider, make it easy and efficient to actually access one's account. Overall, dealing with EverSafe is super frustrating.

Thanks @J_PM Great to see all the update!!

@Sandra20- If she is still being charged and she has no other business with Telus or Koodo or here and has no intention to for the next long while then sure just do a chargeback. This is bit of a common occurrence around here so the company needs to be penalized for these illegal unauthorized charges. But the bank will want you to make an attempt for a refund. Tell them you want it now and not weeks later. So contact support here:

@Sandra20
Have you approached @CS_Agent for the problem? If not, consider reaching out to them.
11-07-2023 01:27 PM
My experience. Though, checking the box to confirm that it is a trusted device, every time I log in, it does not remember it despite the cookies being enabled for PM. Consequently, the process to obtain a confirmation code remains perpetual — a pain I can live with, but would be happier without. 😊
11-07-2023 11:13 AM
@Sandra20 If your relative successfully ported their number to another company then their PM account should be closed which would be why you can't log in if so. Is she still being charged for the PM account? What exactly did you want to do in her account?
11-07-2023 11:04 AM
I would really love if sessions do not expire as it used to be before EverSafe was introduced.
Make an option in My Account for customer to decide if they want session to expire after an hour (as it is now) or to last until midnight or indefinitely. Sometimes is difficult to log in every time when away from computer for a little while, receive verification code, etc.
11-07-2023 10:58 AM
@Sandra20 The Community (message forum) login is separate from your Account login. It's common for the account website to get taken down for maintenance late in the evening, but it is online now.
11-07-2023 10:56 AM
She is on the verge of putting a stop payment to PM with her credit card company due to her frustration. I'll keep reading to see if there is any solution. If anyone can direct me to an answer more quickly that would be appreciated.
