Lost phone

[jaredono]

Lost phone and do not remember what email I set it up with. I have a new phone but with a different provider. Trying to cancel public mobile as I am paying for it but not using it. Not sure how to log on to do this without knowing my log in details

@jaredono   lost phone, new account new provider, but you don't want to port old number over?

@softech ok thanks for that I wasn’t aware , I’m just going by my experience I guess I should have mentioned 

[softech]

@Handy1 honest, agent replies have no trend. 🙂

Saw so many posts sharing that the initial response (for verification) was quick.   People replied immediately  then no reply for long after.

Let's hope PM agent will really improve on thr response time

[Handy1]

@jaredono  Once you get a reply it won’t take to long after that it’s just the initial reply seems take the longest … but once you do any back and forth communication between you and the agent is fairly quick and painless , hope you get it sorted out promptly 

[jaredono]

Ignore the question mark. Was a mistake

[jaredono]

Perfect! Thanks.?

[jaredono]

Thanks! I wasn’t sure how to do that. I clicked on the link you sent and messaged them. Thanks for the reply

[jaredono]

Tried but phone is dead. Will try putting in a ticket. Thanks

@jaredono  another thing if your new provider is Koodo or Telus you might be able to contact them to get your old number ported to new provider otherwise you’ll need to regain access with a new sim card to port old number … if you even care about your old number in . If you don’t be sure to remember updating other services you have with new number from new provider .

@jaredono 

You will need to contact a CS_Agent by creating a ticket on SIMon Chatbot or private message them on the envelope icon to help you access your account and Blacklist the phone when a credentials are confirmed.

Meanwhile, did you login to your phone account and track your phone on Find My (Phone)?

You have to gain access to your account and remove autopay. After 90 days of no pay your account will be deleted.

You can cancel account immediately if you port your number to other provider.

To gain access to your account contact agent.

To Contact CSA-agent; there are 2 methods:

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

Ticket has to be opened through chatbot - https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

Having a ticket is preferred way to contact agent as they might respond faster then receiving personal mail.

If opening a ticket does not work very first time, contact agent directly.

- Send a private message to the CSA - agent by clicking (Ctrl+)Here

Agent’s response is usually between 15 and 120 minutes with a ticket. Private message might take longer.

@jaredono 

Did you port (move) your number from public mobile to the new provider?

If you did, you are no longer paying for the public mobile services and it would automatically cancel.

No need to worry.

[esjliv]

@Handy1 - you may also call  # 1-855-478-2542 or # 1-855-4PUBLIC and cancel Autopay this way if you know the 4 digit account PIN.

Edit, over 90 days in nonpay status your account gets closed.
