Account reactivation

Why did I just get a text message saying my account was reactivated?!?!?!  I have not been with PM for almost a year now.  I want to have someone from PM contact me about this and explain why my account was reactivated!

@ScottyB  - Do you mean you are logged into your community account, therefore, you do not need to provide any personal information?

The community account and the Self Serve account are two totally separate systems.

 

1-Community account is basically used for support here in the forum, and gives access to obtain assistance with active accounts through Public Mobile Customer Support Agents.

 

2-Self Serve account is the one that is linked to your Public Mobile phone number/SIM/Account etc. Very useful and probably needed to be set up eventually for active customers.

 

You actually do not require a community or a Self Serve account to have a Public Mobile active account and phone number. The only link between these two could be the same email, you could use, for credentials. But, really the community account holds no verification information whether this is REALLY you OR NOT.

 

So, if you really want certain information confirmed with the Customer Support Agents of Public Mobile you will need to prove who you are (were) for the phone number/SIM account you once had a year ago.

 

You have a ticket open with them, so I would not provide anything to them unless they ask for it. Which should be easy enough to do, if this used to be your account.

 

Hi @ScottyB no need to upset.  If you checked your credit card and PM didn't charge you,  I think you are good.  

 

 

You can also try to use Forgot password with the email address you received the email and see of you can answer the Security question and reset the password and login and check.   I assume it was just a mistake.  Also, possibly someone typed the wrong email by mistake.  Some email address are very very similar

They do have to uphold privacy laws but they can't check your possible account reactivation without certain information. Anyhow I happy to hear my unconventional method got the attention of customer support. Your welcome and have a nice day.

Really? Customer support usually responds within an hour if not quicker unless of course your community account has a glitch like mine has had on several occasions and for some reason customer support doesn't recieve anything from despite you sending them every which way but Sunday.....well let's see if we can get their attention in a less conventional way.

@ScottyB Standard response time is 2 to 48 hours. They will get back to you. Or write them again. 

 

You can complain all you want on these forums however non of us can do anything for you as we are all customers just like you.

Well I tried the second contact and nobody even has the decency to answer my urgent message in a timely manner.  This company is a joke, solidifies why I left in the first place.

Ok, thnxs for the clarification. I will contact the second one, thnxs.

The first one brings you to Simple--Simon to submit a ticket. The second like the one below brings you to private messages. Use that one. Don't worry about verification. Customer support will answer your questions based on you being a former customer and will not have to verify your account. Just explain your situation with a detailed message.

No, I don't have that number anymore.  I went with a different company and I got a new number.  The text I got says it's from 611 and says:

 

Congrats! Rewards have been applied to your account.  Friend $ referrals, auto pay, community, loyalty...  more info at http://selfserve.publicmobile.ca


HI @ScottyB   It could be just a email glitch, which PM had a lot lately.  But I would still message PM support directly and confirm everything is good.  Maybe just someone got a very similar email address as yours and typed wrong by mistake.   🙂

It sounds like an errant text from pm....not uncommon. But for peace of mind as already suggested:

 

  1. Check your credit card for any charges from pm.
  2. Try logging in with your old account credentials.
  3. Call 1 855 4PUBLIC and enter your 10 digit phone number to see if they "find" your phone number.
  4. If you still want reassurance contact customer support.

HI@ScottyB   if account has suspended for over 90 days, It should have been closed.

 

But, for safety, check your credit card that was on PM record earlier to make sure no fund was debited

 

then open a ticket using direct messaging:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

 

After ticket is submitted, make sure to check your Community Inbox(top right corner envelope icon) periodically for response from PM's CS Agent

@ScottyB  - well that is weird. 

Do you have this number with another provider currently active, and all your services are working?

 

My guess, your number got entered incorrectly somewhere. Just to be safe, don't click on any links or respond to it.

You number must have been in the Telus family. 

I wonder if this is an issue with assigning 2 same numbers to customers...🤔 

 

I wouldn't be too concerned, until you get a 'do you authorize a port' message? But again, just don't approve the port by texting back YES, if this ever does happen.
