Hey. I feel ya on the getting old part. 🙂 Think of this as staying youthful kinda in a mental way. 

Public Mobile is trying to improve their help system.

Sit tight and stay young. 🙂

@ctgill67, your issue is a known bug that affects text messaging when a US add-on that includes text messaging expires.  The issue self corrects after a couple of days.  This is well documented and discussed in this forum.  Here is a sample thread.  Given the interaction times that some customers report, there is little point in seeking moderator team assistance as the problem will self correct in about the same amount of time.

First, check if your phone is set to airplain mode or Do Not Disturb. If that isn't the problem try reporting your phone as lost/stolen then report it as found. Then try restarting your phone. Then, turn off your phone and put it into Reset mode, and select "clear cache", then try restarting it again.

Hopefully one of those will work, but many people have reported that it can take a day or two for the system to change back to Canada after a US roaming add-on, so you may just have to wait 1-2 days.
