Payment

Does anyone know if you can pre authorize your phone bill so it comes out of your bank account? I only see a credit card option.

Thought so, just wanted to confirm.

@crosbyoverovi ,

Oh, it sounds like this is a card/bank specific permission issue.

Public Mobile does not do pre-authorized aka recurring bill payment.

You set up your payment card on the Public Mobile site thereby permitting them to take money from that payment method. It works in that direction.

Not from the bank side.

@crosbyoverovi ,

Are you getting this message when trying to activate? Maybe try calling your bank.

My bank card is a Visa card but using it doesn't count as per authorized.

Only if your bank card is either Visa debit or MasterCard debit @crosbyoverovi . Stay safe.

@crosbyoverovi ,

Depends on the type of debit card. 

mc debt and visa debt.
