I have tried to pay for my plan but it is not accepting my visa Debit card. I called the bank and they said it was on public mobiles end. What can I do now because my phone is not working because of insufficient funds?

There was a temporary issue about a month ago with the payment system not accepting vouchers. However it was quickly resolved within 3 days of it first being issue. This is extremely uncommon and vouchers remain a very reliable and accessible way to pay for your pm service.

@JoelleB1  - are you trying to top up your account for an upcoming renewal?

If so, all good advice already given.

 

Just in case this was a message you saw on your Self Serve account about being Expired / Suspended, but if all your services are workingyou can ignore these messages.

 

These messages show up the night before and day of each renewal.

In future try the hybrid auto pay plan. That will then keep you in service and give  you some time  to fix your issues.

If you can go to a Canadiantire or Esso gas bar, they can do an instant top up of your account. There is a small fee though.

Vouchers could also be used but be aware some could take a few hours to activate (up to 24 hrs) and lately there have been some complaints about the payment sytem not accepting them

 

If you still can not register your payment card, then contact Customer Support for help:

Hi @JoelleB1 

 

If you had a couple of failed attempts the system may lock you out for a short bit.

 

  • Wait 50 minutes,
  • clear cache and cookies,
  • open incognito tab,
  • try again

 

In the interim, if you are out and about, you could purchase a public mobile payment voucher and apply that to the account. This can also be done by calling *611 from your device.

 

Payment credits can also be purchased online at  recharge.com  (may be a fee)
