Can I change between plans regularly?

[Jeh]

Im currently with speakout but I like the heavier data options PM offers. What Im wondering is if I can easily change my plan without inturruptions in service. For example I might want 3gb for 1 month then 6gb for 90 days, then no plan at all for one month (I dont need a phone while out of the country). Is switching plans automated? Do changes take effect within a couple hours?

Thanks in advance

I made wrong move by adding on us texting @ the cost of $8. I would like to add on to get talking and global texting. I don't know for what service I was charged $20/month if I am not able to call or text. If posdinle
put me back to previous plan I had @$25/month and chose to stay with pm paying $28/m. PM disconnected my line because I was late by one day.

Yes, that's right.

Just make sure, after you select the new plan, click on "Change on next renewal date" rather than "Change plan now", or it'll begin immediately and you'll lose any time remaining on your current plan.

Plan switches are not immediate.  It is prepaid so you get the time you first prepaid.  When you switch plans, the new plan starts automatically when the old plan expires providing funds are available.   You can select the new plan online in advance.    If you want a month "off", just make sure there are no funds in your account and autopsy is turned off.  Your account will remain suspended for 90 days before it is abandoned.  You can select a plan and deposit money anytime in those 90 days.  

Please bravo or mark as a solution if this assists.

To change a plan, follow what said above.
To not have a plan at all, make sure AutoPay is disabled. Your account can stay Expired for 90 days and deactivates after that if you don't renew.

You can make plan changes yourself in your PM self-serve account and future date them to begin when your current plan ends. If you change plans immediately (i.e.not future dated), then the new plan will supercede the old one and you'll lose what you paid for the old one, since PM is an entirely prepaid service provider and there are no refunds.

@Jeh  You can  technically change plans whwnever you would lilke, however the more realistic options is every 3 months.

For example the 90 day, 6 gb, would be paid up front on day 1.  If within those 90 days you chose to switch to 90day 2gb, then you would lose any money you paid for the 6gb plan and again pay the full upfront price for the 2gb plan.

If you wait until 90days are up then you can prescehdeule the plan change without interruption of service.
