Hey Community,
Have you ever experienced frustration from not being able to change your plan in Self-Serve when your account was in suspend? Well, we’re excited to let you know that, as of today, you’ll be able to do this without having to contact our Moderator Team!
We also thought we’d share some helpful pointers:
What happens if I don’t take into account the above pointers? What should I do?
In this scenario, your account could still move from suspend to active, re-starting your plan cycle and potentially only reactivating a portion or none of your services.
If you find yourself in this situation, simply make a one-time payment from the “Payment” tab in Self-Serve and opt to pay the “Amount Due”. This will cover the new plan cost less any partial payment that was taken. After successful payment, your services should be fully reactivated.
If your services aren’t restored, please reach out to our Moderator Team ASAP and they will help get things sorted out.
Never changed your plan before? Learn how to here.

@Alan_K this is amazing news!! This comes up quite frequently--I'd guess at least once daily--in the community, people getting stuck and needing to wait for moderator assistance. Thank you to you and the team for listening to the community's feedback and making this common-sense change. Very much appreciated!
This IS great news!
So you're in suspension. Your renewal date is past (of course). Your phone isn't working. I wonder if the successful completion of this change gives you a new 30 day cycle.
Of course...I don't know if suspended renewal restarts the cycle or whether it goes back to the original cycle either .
Great news, hopefully it works with out many issues.
And great to see improvements happening faster than they typically have in the past.
Awesome! This should help reduce the load on mods and hopefully reduce response times. Keep adding these features to self-serve!
Great stuff! Next step is to allow the customer to do early renewal of existing plans when they run out of data. We are all big boys and girls, we can handle the extra responsibilities.
Excellent news! Thanks very much for making this improvement, PM. I'm sure the overworked moderators also appreciate this as well as the customers.
@Alan_K can you make multiple plan changes before paying. Ie I make change 1 that cancels my current plan but then realize I actually made a mistake can I make a second plan change?
Then pay?
Great. Thank you for update. It will cut down the number of private message to moderator team and improve subscribers experience with PM.

I would have done this if it were possible. I was going to keep my 1GB LTE until I found a $30 offerring I was pleased with, but had to jump to the 4.5GB 3G because I ran out of data.
