Can no longer text on $15 plan

[ladybiz]

I signed up yesterday for the $15 plan with 100 min and unlimited texting / 250MB data.  Everything was working OK yesterday, but  I tried to send a text this morning and I'm getting 611 messages saying my current plan does not include text messaging.

What's up with this?

yes good luck getting support from moderators. Support is basically non existent here.
I have the same problem. Switched to the $15 plan and now can not send text. Finally after 3 days someone got back to me only to ask for my user name and password online. Then they recylced my account and it still doesn't work. Now again waiting to hear from a moderator.
Interesting that you renewed the plan or restarted it and it worked. I don't want to do that until I know I am getting a refund for the one I paid for that doesn't work.

well guess what folks...I resolved my own problem!  Sure it cost me, but i can no longer wait another day.  I re-renewed the plan for the same one....and it now works.

And how does one actually make contact with a moderator? I've been waiting nearly a full day. Where is the live online support at the very least? 48 hours to respond? Ridiculous. I had no idea that switching providers would mean I'd go without service and have no ability to have a two way conversation (online, chat, etc.)

Same problem here! No porting of #s, powercycled, remove/insert SIM, mark as stolen suspend/resume.

I gotta say, this is not a good look for PM. I joined to save 2 bucks a month vs the competition, not have zero service on day 2. 

Do they compensate for days of lost service?

The matter of compensation for days of lost service is a question that only the moderators could answer for you.  Hopefully, the accounts of everyone in this thread can get fixed up shortly.

Same problem here. This company is a joke.

I am having the exact same issue. My thread is here: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Plans-Add-Ons/Call-or-text-not-working-was-working-fi...

Seems like the solution is to contact the moderator team and wait for their reply.
