@rickdesjardins , a word of advice.... don't trust Wal-Mart employees. Their job is to upsell the plans. A friend of a friend told me that the people in the cell department's main job are to upsell you. He also said that some employees are unethical by using their own referral codes versus asking if someone refers them. How?
The customer says no, and the Wal-Mart staff will ask, ok. And then they ask if the customer would like a $10 credit? If so, they will enter a special code so you can get it. The customer agrees and gets a $10 credit. Pretty sly but smart thinking I guess.

Why can't I get my monthly pay as you go plan started earlier by say a week That way I'm losing that week if anything and I avoid paying your insane price for data I mean 1 GB of data for $50 will buy me an entire month and reset my monthly data plan I was told by a Walmart employee that it can't be accomplished so I was sol I'm moving up to a $50 per month pay as you go plan which offers 8 GB data as to 4.5 GB data on the $40 per month pay as you go plan Will doing this allow me to start my one month on the day I move up to the $50 a month plan?
If I read this correctly, you are on the $40 plan. Did you run out of data? If so, then you could have bought the $15 for 1 gig of data which does carry to the next month until you use it all up.
If you wanting to move up to the $50 plan, and you have one week left in the $40 plan, the staff is trying to tell you, to renew on the next billing cycle (one week from now) because you would lose one's week of your previous plan. This is sound advice!
It sounds to me you don't care, and you want the plan to start NOW, which means, you pay the $50 for the new plan and it starts now. The Wal-Mart staff was trying to save you a week of your plan, but they didn't know about the 1 gig for $15, and instantly thought of upgrading you.
You have been with Public Mobile since December 2019. You should have come to us for advice versus asking Wal-Mart. I would hope you can trust us than Wal-Mart? The community doesn't get paid, or make any commission in helping you (unless you count community rewards, but that's pennies, literally!).
