Hello,
I just joined a couple weeks ago (after some challenges with port out) but my data & minutes are not updating. (I'm on the $15 plan)
I've logged out and restarted my phone but not having any luck... any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

It can be reset by support people. My first thought was browser cache issue but when it added your 0/500 minutes but not updated 2/100 then this is a glitch.

That's a strange glitch. Have the CSA open a ticket with tech team to look into and correct this glitch.

Nope. Only 3. Keep going! You can do it, we can add few more if needed! 😋

@RamsayHanna : And this is why I hate the 20 questions. Pics tell 1000 words.
So did you do all the browser suggestions? Did you get the text saying you had 10 minutes left? Did you get a recording saying something wrong with calling?
There...20 more questions 🙂

Therefore there's nothing wrong to fix.
We're talking here about resetting the numbers to the proper values, not resetting them from scratch.

I wonder if it will reset itself after your next renewal..
again, did you check the Usage History page? did it update?

Ok then, there's something to be fixed then. Sorry 😐
Thanks for the visual 😊

That is strange, updating of your calls and usage is normally instantly on your Self Serve account.
You probably used up all your data when you were on hold with the government agency.
Meanwhile, you can purchase an Add-on or text your friends and family to call you since text and in coming calls are unlimited.
You can also install TextNow app and get free Canada/USA calling and texting but you need to pick an additional number. So your phone will have a PM number and a TextNow number.

@RamsayHanna : I simply don't bother with the detail pages. The front page overview counters are almost immediate and accurate. The details are delayed and clumsy to use. Think of them as a log of activity of the service.

I'll open a ticket to see if they can reset everything.
Thanks
When calling government agencies on 800 numbers, you shouldn't be using any of your minutes.
You can also save minutes by using a free voip app like Textnow for unlimited calls and texts. That;s what I do when calling a number I know would put me on hold for a long time.
11-23-2021 05:27 PM
@RamsayHanna Also, check My Account Usage History and see if the Usage page updated
11-23-2021 05:27 PM
@RamsayHanna...be sure to try the advise provided by @softech . I think you'll find that should clear things up.
Alternative is to dial 611 to get info on you current account status.
11-23-2021 05:26 PM
it's not updating on 'Overview, view my useage'... worked the first day and then now changes for the past 2 weeks.

@RamsayHanna It could be just a browser issue
Try to use another browser (Chrome/Edge/Firefox)
or clear cache, close all browser windows and relaunch
or use Incognito mode
or try browsers on another computer or phone
11-23-2021 05:23 PM
It should only take about a hour to update all usage on your account please try calling 611 to check remaining minutes and data remaining 611 option 3
If this does not give you updated information please contact customer service on this site
11-23-2021 05:22 PM
I'm not having any problems making calls or using data... it just hasn't updated my 'usage' in over 2 weeks.

Yes... it only showed 2 minutes of call time used and then never updated again. I eventually ran out of minutes and purchased 500 more minutes as I needed to speak to government agencies and was on hold for extended periods.

Do you mean they're not updating since day 1 ?
If so ask CS to have a look and reset them:

@RamsayHanna...be aware that the $15 plan has limited data (250MB) as well as limited outgoing calls (100 mins). Perhaps you've run out until next renewal maybe ?
Log in to your account. Look at My Data and Add-ons. If you see no mention of data...you've consumed it all. You'll have to wait until next renewal for a fresh batch of data.
You can either upgrade to be more costly plan or get a calling add-on ... $5 for 500 minutes of Canada wide calling. You can also get a data add-on...but expen$ive.
Consider upgrading to the $25 plan with unlimited Canada wide calling and 1GB of data.

If your data and minutes used aren't showing up in your over view page, maybe your out of both 🙂
Edit...
If turn your airplane mode on and then off, things should update then. Give it a try.

go sign in to Self-Serve, to review your account, sometime the history take 12 hr to you see it,

The system can take some time to reflect usage changes on the account page side of things, it is sadly not completely real-time and not without its glitches

What do you meant by your data and minutes not updating? you cannot make calls or data not working?
Or your meant what is showing on My Account -> My Data and Add-ons are not accurate, not updated?
