Hello, I'm having an issue with one of my lines.
I had no service on this line for 2 days now and I just dont understand why.
I have the same card on autopay with another line and that line is fine, it works.
But for some reason, this line says I have no funds?
It says my amount due is 0, and I have a credit balance of $15, with autopay enabled.
So why doesn't this line work?
Solved! Go to Solution.

The lost phone trick worked, thanks! Hopefully there will be no more issues with the service.

If it is not working after the lost phone trick then contact a moderator.

Yes my plan says active. I am on auto renewal, and my credit card is working. This happened last month, 1 day before the auto renewal I had no service. But this time it has been not working - no calls, texting or data for 1 week. I will try the lost phone trick.

When you log into your self-serve account is it showing active? You could try the lost phone trick.
To report your phone stolen. Login to your selfserve account. Choose Plans and Add-ons tab. Choose the Lost/Stolen Phone tab. Choose Suspend Service tab. Wait a few minutes. Report your phone found. Re-start you phone.
If you still have problems then you would need to wait for a moderator to respond.

I have had no phone service for 1 weeek. I have contacted the moderator, verified my account and nothing.

It shouldn't. (famous last words) If it does then tell the moderators and they'll put it back as Available Funds. I'm not confident it will fix the problem in this case but it won't hurt anything. Another "trick" is to manually add another $1 and then restart the phone. If it doesn't fix the problem then you just have an extra dollar in your account to use towards your next renewal. Again...in this case I think you need the moderators. But give them a whirl...the moderators take way too long to reply these days.

@Mistydchase84 No, it will not change anything. It is recommended because it works kinda like a soft reset in the hopes that it wake up the plan.

Notwithstanding non-stop glitches happening around here the last couple months...you came here for the rates. This is how the rates can be low...not paying people standing by in a call centre.

When is his renewal date? Can he see it in his self-serve account? And does his account shows ACTIVE?

Is the renewal right around now? If so then yes it seems you're another one of todays problem.

@Mistydchase84 You have every right to be frustrated. Many are reporting issues with plan renewals hopefully PM makes an announcement soon.

Just 1 message is ok. You will be in a queue and they will answer you in the next 2 days usually.
Not ridiculous ...but a little different...learn patience here!!!

What plan is he on? If the $10 plan then maybe he has used all his minutes and texts.

Don't post any personal information here...we are customers like you...
You could try the lost phone trick.
To report your phone stolen. Login to your account. Choose Plans and Add-onstab. Then choose Lost/Stolen Phone tab. The choose Suspend Service tab. Logout. Wait few minutes. Login in and report your phone found.
But if nothing help write a private message to the moderator.
https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437 waiting time is few hours to 2 days. Be patient.

Can you give us more details??? New plan? New phone? Is his self-serve account shows ACTIVE or SUSPENDED on the first page? Did he try this site to check compatibility with public mobile...willmyphonework.net ?

Ah yes, I see it now. Under "My plan" it says I am on the $25 plan. But under Current Plan Cycle it shows the $10 plan. Weird. I really need this done asap since the line is not mine and the person is requesting to get it fixed. Can I just manually add funds into the account to get the line working again and hopefully a mod can help fix the issue it when one is available?
Thanks for all your help
@Juvy87 Not sure it will work but since it's urgent and it might take a while to hear back from the mods it's worth a try. After you make payment of its still not working try the lost stolen reset trick.
While you are waiting for moderator, you may try the lost/stolen phone trick:
To report your phone stolen. Login to your selfserve account. Choose Plans and Add-ons tab. Choose the Lost/Stolen Phone tab. Choose Suspend Service tab. Wait a few minutes. Report your phone found. Re-start you phone

Are you setting up a new account and it doesn't work...is that right ?
You can use the same credit card for more than 1 account but each account needs a unique email address.
This was already set up and has been working for a month now. But for some reason, I'm getting the no funds issue. I thought it was the card, but the other line works so now I'm not so sure. In the middle of the first month, when the line was working, I switched plans into the $25/1gb plan during the cycle, I'm not sure if this caused the issue.
