I have 1 very quick question.
I joined very recently with Public so try to understand if this is a prepaid service or postpaid service?

Thanks.
Got confirmation from Agent. Seems all Set now.

You have to make sure you selected the "Subscribe" option, which effectively means "auto-pay" or "auto renewal". And of course you need a valid card on file for it to automatically charge.

If you don't have the subscribe option on, the line will suspend at the end of the 30 day cycle and you'll need to manually make a payment via credit card or voucher (which can be purchased at convenience stores) to activate it again.

Thanks for the details.
I asked the question with confusion and my experience still now not satisfying.
I moved in on March 11 and paid subscription fees. I had initial issue with activating service and moved from eSIM to physical SIM today.
Today my Account is showing subscription is expired and was valid from Feb-09 to March-11.
I have no clue how this works with others new comers.

The only thing is not downgrade your plan. So if you pick, for example, the $35 plan, you can downgrade to anything below $35, you can only move up. 

This is very questionable... Some customers claim they can downgrade some cannot.

To get the most from (great) PM service is to start from lowest plan, use it for a few months, see if you like it and then slowly upgrade.

Thanks for quick response.

Hello @aviknaskar 

Yes. Public Mobile is prepaid service. You prepay for what you want. The only thing is not downgrade your plan. So if you pick, for example, the $35 plan, you can downgrade to anything below $35, you can only move up.
