Changed plan - on Autopay - Account suspended?

[rosielarose]

Good morning,

I switched from a 90 day plan to a 30 day plan about a week ago, and the new 30 day plan was set to start when my 90 day expired.  I've been on Autopay.  My last text from PM is my payment was due July 31.   My phone isn't working today.  My Account says my account is suspended, and my Autopay will happen on August 1.  Is there something I can do?

The same thing happened to me but I changed my payment method. Got the text saying I would renew soon (July 31) and then lost service saying my account is suspended. But I also got the text saying I received my rewards. I'm waiting for a mod to reply to my message.

An update - and in case someone else is reading with the same problem:

I tried to top up the payment yesterday (ahead of today's Autopay),  but my phone still didn't work.  It's not working today either.  

Oddly enough, I did get one text yesterday - and it was from Public Mobile congratulating me on the rewards I've earned.  But still no outside service. 

Thanks for the advice, folks.  I'll wait my turn with the moderators, I guess.

@rosielarose I manually paid via *611. With my activated service, I checked my account and it said my next autopay withdrawal will be in Oct .

Same thing here. Got plan expired today when I have AutoPay setup. You can manully added credit to you account and will not be charged tomorrow as I did last time. I am waitting for @CS_Agent to fix this for me as I can not do manully load every time. 

BTW. I am on 90 days plan.

Thank you both! 

I think I've messaged @Moderator_Team with my issue. 

Would just making a payment today solve my problem?  Or would I just end up paying the plan twice over tomorrow- or just not solving that day lapse between the new 30 day plan expiry, and when the payment date for the old 90 day Autopay?

Had a similar issue but didn't change plans. Autopay just didn't kick in for some reason. I was without service, no text, no voice, no data. It said my account suspended.

I had to call *611 and maually charge another payment which activated my service. 

I kept restarting my phone this morning thinking I dropped it or Telus was down.

@rosielarose, unless your service actually stops working, don't worry about what the account says.  During the renewal process, the account goes through various temporary phases that look very disturbing.  If you don't touch anything, everything will sort itself out and the account will show active status when the renewal process completes some time in the middle of the night.
