If you have LOST your HANDSET, OR, your HANDSET was STOLEN, LOG INTO YOUR SELF-SERVE, Then click the Plans and Add-ons toggle, then look for the LOST/STOLEN Phone Toggle, and follow instructions to SUSPEND your ACCOUNT to PREVENT others from USING your LOST/STOLEN Handset.
Once you have finished Suspending your Service, CLICK the Auto-PAY Icon to Have your Credit Card DE-LISTED
This way, your Credit Card will NOT be charged Until You either locate your Handset, Then Re-enter the Lost/Stolen Handset icon to Unsuspend your Account and Reinstate your Sim.
Or Purchase a New Handset and Order a Replacement Sim by Clicking The Link Below in Green:
https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/contact-us
Fill out the Application, and your replacement Tri-Sim will be sent to you via mail
After receiving your Tri-Sim, Re-enter the Lost/Stolen Handset icon in your Self-Serve Account to Unsuspend your Account and Register your New Tri-Sim Number
Your Service should then be back to normal instantaneous, though sometimes it may take 60 minutes
Also, Don't Forget to Re-enable your Auto-Pay to keep earning your $2 Auto-Pay Rewards

Agree with @Martin, no need to disable AutoPay while the account is suspended for lost/stolen unless you are planning to either port the number out or forfeit the account.

Thanks Makkahn for putting up this informative post. Although similar has already been posted before - What do I do if my phone is lost or stolen?
