Charged for the same text over and over

[Lmkelk]

 It's impossible to get a hold of a moderator I have spent over an hour. I was charged for the same text over 20 times this is happened before does anybody know why? Is this a frequent problem?

By chance if you happen to have meant you are charged for the same "phone call" over and over again, if the number ends in 4001 it is you accessing your voicemail.

You shouldn't be charged for texts @Lmkelk . Even if you are on the 50/50 plan, texting would just stop, there are no overages. I don't understand, which plan are you on? Thanks.  Please post a usage history for your account so that we could look at it. Omit all personal imformation. Stay safe?

....to contact a moderator:

Please use the chatbot SIMon to help you solve your issue. If SIMon cannot solve your issue then you have the option to contact a moderator.

Step 1: Choose the ? button at the right bottom corner of this page or choose “Get Help” at the top of the page and then choose the “Chat with SIMon” button.

Step 2: Tell SIMon what the issue is and see if he can find a solution for you.

Step 3: If Simon cannot find a solution then type in “moderator” to connect to a Public Mobile customer service representative.

Step 4: Simon will present you with two choices. Choose “Account-specific question”

Step 5 Then choose “No, I want a human”
