Just recently I haven’t been able to send my brother’s android phone a text/sms from my iPhone. Anyone have any ideas? My iOS is up to date, I’ve reset the phone, I’ve signed out of Apple and back in. It just happened all of a sudden and it’s frustrating. Anyone else have this issue and have a successful solution? Thanks!

Intersting problem with Autopay. Did you get a message (email/text) from PM advising you that your payment had not been completed?

I can’t confirm that I can text from iPhone to android yet as my brother is now asleep and won’t respond til tomorrow but I’m pretty sure things will work now. Thank you for your help!

My credit card is stored on my account. I see it there.
So did you restart your phone or are your services working now?
Now you have enough balance to pay for next term. Hopefully end of July the autopay will work for you. It has been known to be a little flaky for some people. It should be bulletproof but alas.

Sometimes automated things mess up.
Add in the difference of what your plan is (plan - $3) and it should reactivate or click the reactivate button in that upper right area.

I did notice one thing just now though - I signed into my Public Mobile account and it says my plan has been deactivated even though I’m on AutoPay. It won’t accept another payment, saying I’ve already paid, so why the deactivation? I’ve put a ticket into a moderator.
Try adding a manual amount. What is in your Available Funds?

@jrboodoosinghCheck that your setup is as follows:
Settings >> Messages >> iMessage ON, Send as SMS ON, MMS ON >> Send & receive: should show your PM phone number and your Apple ID email.

Did the SMS setting in iMessage get turned off? Can you send to any other Android phone? Did you accidentally put your brother into Blocked Contacts?
