Thanks for the update. I did receive the message and was a bit confused, so I appreciate the clarification. Glad to know you're looking into it to avoid future issues.

@Derff77 

this is an old issue.  

But if you receive the message this morning, then that likely mean there is a payment problem and your account didn't renew.

do you have voice and data service now? please login My Account first, check if your account is active.  Check payment history and see if PM took any more today or yesterday to renew.  If your account is suspended, click Pay and Resume Services button, you can then make a payment to renew

I just received this message this morning. Why???

[Jeremy89]

This is apparently still occurring a couple months later since it just happened to me a couple days ago. I'm hoping an agent reaches out to me soon because I'm leaving for Mexico tomorrow!

@Anwbear  what didn't work? you have to tell more for others to help

[Anwbear]

didnt work for me

[Paintermoi]

I'm trying to make a payment but each time I log in it sends me a new activation code.  I'm going in circles and I just want to pay

[gunner2024]

Unfortunately that didn't work so I tried cleaning my cache folder and that didn't work either 😕 

But they even took out payment later in the day then normal so maybe that has something to do with it. 

[Mosarim]

I don’t think so, as mentioned above there has been a system issue with account status. So should be fine. I have that same issue. 

[gunner2024]

Oh great idea I'll try that now!

[slusagm]

If your service is working, then the My Account problem maybe just a cache problem.  Try login using browser with incognito mode 

[gunner2024]

Hello I was wondering if you can explain why I got this today on  my account 

Your services are on hold due to the expiration of your subscription. If your services are on hold for more than 90 days, your account will be closed permanently and you'll lose your phone number Pay Now and Resume Services

Public has already taken the money for 3 of our accounts this morning out of my bank, the phones are working but will they be suspended if I don't pay again this month? I'm not paying twice for the one month so I hope you can help me.

Thanks

Your device should work in 3g, 4g and 5g areas. You may have to change the settings in your device to select the range of signal available

hi @Carro 

esim has it advantages and disadvantages.  And honest,many of the esim problems you see on the Community here are just users not familiar with it, and they are mostly user problems

[Carro]

It may be an issue with the phone... when I am in a lte, 4G or 5G zone, I still get service.

[Carro]

I am weary of e-sims but seeing your updates may have me trying it in the near future.  👍

[Carro]

I have a 5G service but my phone works when I am in 4G or lte service.

[eddys]

yeah they got the voucher to work and now i am under the new subscription , and now the service does not work, perhaps public should make a bold post that if youre not in a 5g area your phone does not work , cause the 4g wont kick in , also i dont have a 5g phone , this is disapointing and now cant downgrade till next month , what a drag

[eddys]

ok, thx

[hTideGnow]

hi @eddys as said , try to call from another phone 

and also message support agent 

[eddys]

i live out in country i have to drive 20 minutes to get to another phone...did that yesterday to buy a voucher ,... and the voucher doesnt even work...but ill try as you suggest ..ok

[eddys]

btw that number does not work from my phone cause my service is suspended

[eddys]

this is a disaster , i dont have working service for 3 days now , and my account has money in it , and i also applied a voucher fo 20 dollars that does not get applied when attempting a new subsription to see if that would work, ...nothing , i just want my old plan to stay as is , and have my money go thru , its hopefully simeple , im not sure whats going on , even when i try to submit a different ticket gives me a 404, i litterally spend 2 hours on this , its too much , if i dont get service today , i will have no option but to go to another provider and port my number , once i do that can you tell me how i can have my funds transfered to another number that i have with telus or koodo as i understand you all share the same netwok and public is just a susbdiary or telus

[hTideGnow]
