@Dennis1977  Where are you? Some areas of Manitoba no longer have calling service with PM since the shutdown of some 3G network towers. Get the Fongo or TextNow app for free calling on wifi or cellular data.

How did you pay your current bill? With vouchers?

Some voucher will take up to 24 hours to kick in for service.

Best to contact a CS_Agent by submitting a ticket through SIMon Chatbot on the bottom of the page or private message on the envelope icon above.

Reboot your phone (turn off, wait a bit, turn on).

To Contact CSA-agent; there are 2 methods:

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

Ticket has to be opened through chatbot - https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

Having a ticket is preferred way to contact agent as they might respond faster then receiving personal mail.

If opening a ticket does not work very first time, contact agent directly.

- Send a private message to the CSA - agent by clicking (Ctrl+)Here

Agent’s response is usually between 15 and 120 minutes with a ticket. Private message might take longer.

@Dennis1977   first, do you have data now or no service at all?

if you have data but just not calls, try to change the Preferred network type or Network mode to 3G Only (or WCDMA only) and see if the phone connects

If not connect at all after changing to 3G only , change it back to LTE or 4G or Automatic, download VoIP app TextNow and use it to make calls as a workaround

But if you have no calls and data, login to My Account using Incognito mode and check if the account status still showing Suspended. Check the Payment history to confirm if your early payment was not completed successfully (maybe Autopay failed)   Make a manual payment by clicking Reactivate my plan and follow the steps
