It sounds like you have been a customer white awhile with to phone accounts that you manage. Did you activate in store and sign up for autopay? Did you ever create the self serve accounts online here on the website? If you still have active service you can still create the accounts by recieving the 6 digit alphanumeric code via text message on each phone. Do this if you can and we can help you.
Otherwise it sounds like your credit card may have expired causing an autopay failure. Purchasing vouchers at a retailer and adding them via 611 reactivates and/or pays for your service. However there was increase in that plan from $10 to $13 on April 28th 2022. But you may not have been notified as they may or may not have informed you via text message or email in early March. You likely came up short of the $13 because you thought you only had to pay $10 for each account.
This would mean if you only purchased a $10 voucher it would not be enough to pay or reactivate your service. (Although you should be earning enough rewards to cover the difference you can worry about that later.) Purchase 2 more vouchers with a minimum $5 value but if you can afford $10 that may be easier to obtain from a retailer. Add the voucher as per usual via 611 and your service should automatically reactivate.
Once you have active service come back and we will help you with creating and accessing your self serve account's and how to update your credit card so autopay starts working again.
I will send you a private message if you would like some help to file a complaint about the $3 rate hike. Check your private message box the envelope icon next to your avatar at the top right corner of your screen.

Just to confirm what plans do you have? Do you mean you pay 10 extra + taxes are you have the 10 grandfathered plan? Because that went up to 13 and some ppl had issues on their first renewal after the increase.

@Hany1 - well this is a prepaid service, so you have to pay one way or another.
What exactly is your issue? Are you not able to added a card to your accounts to register for Autopay?

@Hany1 this is an open forum and we are all just customers like you, please remove your phone number for your own protection.
Can you provide more details why you cannot use credit card? what was the problem? did you try to remove the card from both account first. Wait 48 hours and try to enter the 2 cards in the system again?
Or do you have another credit card to try?
