@Fermosa  - in the SEND TO field enter CS_Agent. Then it will go to the Public Mobile Representatives.

 

You can also use this direct link, if you prefer as well, it takes you to the same area:

Private Message to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA)

@Fermosa maybe..  check your message and ask them.. LoL

@Fermosa  - I just sent you a Private Message, check your Envelope/INBOX. I believe CSA messages me in error, when trying to get to you.

Good luck

@Fermosa 

so what your issue if you found your money in your account and why you don't want to use that service...

and when you go sign in to Self-Serve, to review your account, and you found at Available Funds: $$ has the amount left, leave it for next bill cycle the will take it from there automatically,

or if you want leave public mobile to another company you will have be your account active to be porting your number to another company but if you don't want your number,, ask them CSA, about refund...

 

but if you need to be your service working try to do this

Spoiler

1. Click on Payment

2. Make a Payment

3. one Time Payment 

4. you will see your Amount Due:$$

5. Payment Type: selected other ( Enter the desired payment amount )

6. you will do manually enter Amount:$$ + $1 extra

7. Tax: will collect automatically,
8. Click ‘Submit’,
9.after payment successful,  you have to do Rebooting your phone
what is meant by rebooting the device turn off and turn it back on.
10. and how much you pay the extra is will going to your account Available funds:$$ has the amount left,
and for next bill cycle the will take it from there automatically,
 

and if still not fix it follow this,

  1. Add Funds to your Plan Amount through Self Serve  
  2. Go to “Plan and Add-Ons” TAB
  3. Select "Lost/Stolen Phone" TAB
  4. Select "Suspend Service" BUTTON
  5. Then, Select Resume/Reactivate Service
  6. Reboot your phone,
    what is meant by rebooting the device turn off and turn it back on.

I been had the plan it’s just wasn’t working I kept adding money to a number that wasn’t working so I want a refund and now as of today I don’t use that number no more that’s why I want a refund. I already explained it multiple times it’s unacceptable 


@Fermosa  - I can understand this being frustrating if you went through the activation process and paid for a plan and nothing is working.

But, there are usually other reasons why your phone is not working after activation rather than not having paid for it.

 

So, why not try to get it working and at least have the plan for a full cycle? 

Hang around and you will receive Christmas goodies in your account within one week, due to a Public Mobile giveaway going on.

 

So, worth a shot for another 30 days isn't it?

 

When your phone does not work after activating there could be very easy fixes to more complicated ones...let's start with:

 

Try one or more of the below:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a few minutes, then reboot

*removing your SIM, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings on your device

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

 

*What Model phone are you using.....can you try your SIM into another phone to see if you get any services?

 

*if you ported over a number from another provider than there is other steps/trouble shooting....let us know if this is the case.

See helpful info. here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/port-fraud-protection

 

 

Sometimes a SIM card will not provision properly, than you will need Customer Support help.

Two ways to reach them here:

I think it was suspended or it can be expired idk but rn the balance on my old phone number is 35 dollars but that was second time me trying to pay 


@Fermosa wrote:

I got my pin I sent my private message also with all my info, how long will it take for them to respond because I want my refund immediately so yeah 


@Fermosa   although it said within 48 hours, they usually reply within couple hours

 

do you see any fund as Available Fund on My Account?  If so, no worry, PM can trigger the renewal process

 

Also, is your account now suspended status or expired or active?

May be I read wrong that you were getting a new plan. 

 

Click the blurb on the bottom right and create a ticket. We are PM service users like you, we can only guide, cant credit your balance back to you.

No I literally got a new plan today for no reason I had 10 dollars in my balance and I owed 25 I believe and then I had 35 and it still didn’t work this is unacceptable because it’s taking money from account that I already paid and it’s not working so I want refund because I don’t use that number no more so why take my money if I don’t use the number no more 


$10 in available funds and $25 added for a $35 plan. did you actually purchased the plan for your phone to work?

Purchase the plan and reboot the phone. 

 

Let us know. 

 

There is always an option to create a ticket with support agents to take it further but try the above first if you havent yet.

I don’t know it how can i find it if it’s not in my messages

@Fermosa   you would have setup a 4 digit code when you activated.  Check the text on your phone.  PM would have sent you the 4 digit code when you first setup

 

you will need the 4 digits code when you use *611 (most option there needs that except with 2 options).  

 

If you cannot find it, you will have to open ticket with PM to have it changed

@Fermosa   before you request the refund, can you login to My Account and see if the money you just paid is sitting as Available Fund there?  

 

if so, the fund is there but not applied towards the plan renewal yet.

 

Just click "Reactivate current plan" and see if it triggers the plan renewal


@Fermosa 

 

Is it your plan that is not working or an add-on?  

As suggested look at your My Account and let us know what you see.
