Adding $30 to your account won't do anything. You need to either purchase add ons to your plans or upgrade your plan in general.

I would suggest if you are on the $15 plan to just upgrade your plan to the $25 one. Essentially, you are paying $25 for 1GB data (assuming you are on auto-pay) instead of $30 for 1GB data. 

If you find this problem persists, maybe consider upgrading your plan in general. The $40 for 5GB of data, is more than enough for the more casual phone users.

Purchasing addons is a two step process.  Here is a great tutorial on how to purchase addons created by @srlawren  https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Plans-Add-Ons/HOWTO-Purchasing-Add-ons/m-p/198974

@Kyle4 It a 2 step process . You now have to buy the additional data.

@Kyle4 Just adding $30 wont do anything. You need to now purchase a data add-on. If you are not too far away from renewal date, sometimes its betters to renew early. This can only be done by sending ticket to the mod team.
