Why don't I have data 500 mb plus bonus 500 mb autopay when I'm on 25 dollar plan? 

It always says zero balance. I have this problem since I purchased this plan.

It looks like you are on this plan that does not include any plan data. If you stay on it and purchase add ons or you get free data add on gifts they will be full speed 4G LTE. All current plans are 4G LTE data throttled to 3mbps. So consider carefully how important data speed is for you if you schedule a change plan on next renewal. Once you switch you cannot get this plan or full speed 4G LTE speed back.

Remove your last screenshot from your profile and edit it out of your post. Your phone number is showing. Is this your plan from activation? How long ago did you activate? Do you have autopay?

Before you consider a plan change ask the CSA if this grandfathered provincial plan included data at 4G LTE speeds.

@sp2017 The problem seems to be your plan was a grandfathered plan that didn't include any data. PM hasn't offered provincial plans for a long time. (Other than that unpopular move about 4-6 months ago) You have to log in to your account and select the new $25 plan and set it to renew on the next date unless you want the data now, then renew now.

Change your plan on the next renewal date. You have an old provincial plan. You can get the unlimited Canada wide calling for the same price. 

For now contact a CSA regarding the missing data.

 There is no point of discussing your data usage and trying to assist unless you provide screenshot of your PM account where we can see how much you are allotted and how much you really used of your data.

When did you activate your plan?

Any chance you've used up all the data without realizing it?

Check your Data usage and post a screenshot if possible.
