Can't switch to a different plan

I was on a 30 Day $40 plan that expired because autopay was not activated.  Now when I try to reactivate on the $10 plan it does not allow me to do so.  There are funds in the account but the option I get is to top uo to reactivate plan(meaning to top up to reactivate $40 plan) or change on next renewal date.  Unfortunately the change on next renewal date is greyed out and non-clickable.

 

I'm not sure who I can turn to to get this resolved.

If you are having troubles paying then use a voucher you can buy online from recharge.com

 

If your plan is active you can change your plan.

@Muldersarah28 not really understanding your issue. Did you try and make a payment but it did not work? Is your account active? Or expired? 

If you are having issues making a payment you can buy an online voucher from recharge.com (pay a service fee but no taxes) and use that.

@Muldersarah28 loginto self serve and click change plan then select the new plan you want then select futuredate the change or change immediately.

 

This process can only be done if your account is active.

@Dunkman not being able to change plans on expired accounts is not a glitch, the system was designed that way, why not sure but this part of the system works as it is supposed to.

 

@Haps if you really need service now  renew your current plan, then ask mods vhange yoyr plan to the one you want andne credit your public mobile account the difference. You don't get a refund.

If you want to get up and running right away, you'll need to renew the old plan to activate your service.  Once it's active, you'll be able to future date your plan change.

 

It's not cheap, but it's the quickest way to get this resolved.  For future reference, plan changes can only be performed by the customer while the plan is active, not suspended, and not expired.

@Haps

Be Patient.  It will take 1-2 days for moderator to get back to you.   It is a known glitch in the system unfortunately.

@Haps, you have been directed to seek moderator team assistance because customers cannot make plan changes when the account is suspended.

You need to send a private message to the Mods here and include your phone number and PIN to minimize back and forth identity verification.

Forget your PIN? Then you'll need 3 of either of these pieces of information you used when you signed up: full address, birthdate, last 4 digits of CC you might have used, email address on the account, alternative phone number you might've entered when you signed up. Or, in addition, either of these to get to 3: last payment amount and date, last add-on bought and date.
Then hopefully they will get back to you as soon as they can between M-F 9-9 (ET) and Sat-Sun 9-7:30 (ET).
Depending on your notification settings, you would get an email notifying you of a reply. Get back here and click on the little envelope in the upper right of your screen that now has a red blob indicating that you have a message.
