Making a Payment

[Nickidu492]

What happens if I get ODSP (Disability) check on September 30th but my phone is due September 18th..... and need my phone to call into court if I don't call in I can end up in jail for a Breach.....

Not entirely sure, tbh. There's a cap on what they'll pay for living expenses so I'd imagine they'd pay up to that cap. My mom's cell phone bill is $25 and ODSP pays the full amount.

Little known fact: If you live in an apartment building and your cell phone is used for the intercom and to unlock the main entrance, ODSP will pay for that. The caveat is that if you're already receiving the max amount, they won't give you more on top of that.

Good luck!

how much will they pay for?

Thats pretty much the same in bc.....if your rent is less than $375 you may recieve the extra to put towards gas and electricity and max $20 for your phone bill.

 @Nickidu492 : I can't fathom what the heck all of the above will or can do. Your services will stop. A voip app like the Fongo mentioned or TextNow would be a good choice but only if you have a wifi connection somewhere like home or shops. They're really handy actually. You almost don't need cell service if you can reasonably access wifi.

What will happen is: your account will be suspended for 2 days (or until you make a payment of your plan amount).

During this suspended time period, you will not have access to any calling/texting/data services. You will have access to your voicemail.

To reactivate your plan, simply make a manual top up of the plan amount and resume/reactivate your service by calling 611 or through your Self Serve account.

You can be in suspended service for up to 90 days without losing your Public Mobile account / phone number.

Download the fongo app so you can call in while on WiFi.

Edit:

When you do get your check pay for two months service then top up each cheque day so you always have your payment for renewal payment regardless of when you get your cheque.

If you suspend your account via lost/stolen before midnight of your renewal date (Sept 17th) you will maintain active voicemail service. Call your phone number from your fongo number. When it connects press "*" and enter your 4 digit voicemail pin # to access your voicemail. Your rewards won't apply but you can contact customer service to have them applied manually after you renew your plan.

If you don't have a card registered for the $2 autopay reward private message me and I will give you one but you have to pay by voucher because its a vanilla m/c gift card with a $0.10 balance.
