Hello,

I seem to be getting multiple signals with my dashboard/welcome screen when I log into my Public Mobile account online. See a screenshot here.

So I had a plan, which was that promo plan for 4.5GB + 500MB free. I don't recall it being the promo currently in place now, which is + 500MB if registered for autopay. I believe that (yes) this plan has expired, which is shown on the screenshot.

I am registered with autopay, but it hasn't been debited out of my bank account yet. For the past few months, the debits have been occurring during the day, so I was thinking it was going to be debited during the daytime of the 25th (which is when autopay is scheduled to pay the plan).

I'm just not sure if I'm supposed to do anything? There is a button saying "reactivate current plan" and there is a message saying to ignore it if I'm registered for autopay (which I am). I guess I'm trying to ask what I should do next? I kind of need the data plan tomorrow...

If the link above does not work, here is a screenshot:

Thank you for trying to help but it is clearly not a browser or cache issue.

@Paxton31 : That is odd. Although seems some people interpret what they read differently. Here's hoping your yet again updating of the cc info works for your next renewal.

Here's why it wasn't working for me. This is kind of ridiculous though. Back in December, my credit card had been compromised so my credit card company sent me a new card as per usual. It is now September and Public Mobile has been charging my new card every month for the last 8 months successfully. For some reason, Public Mobile attempted to charge my old card. When I went to make the manual payment using the card on file, it was declined. I called my credit card company to see what was going on and that's when they told me that Public was trying to use my old card info! Why would that happen after all these months? Anyway, I've updated all the info again and hopefully, everything will be back to normal again.

@Paxton31 : Don't worry about multiple payments. Just make a manual "Other" payment to get your balance up to your plan cost and the plan should renew.

I did not make a payment because it says "auto-renew" is on. If I make the payment manually, will they charge me again? I checked my card and I dont see a pending transaction, but that can sometimes take a day or so.

When I log in to my account, it does say suspended. It also says I am on autopay. The card has not changed and is good. So I am not sure if I should make a payment. This is a little frustrating.

Did you pay for your renewal? Did your card be charged? If not you can put manually money to pay your plan and reactivate your service? Or you can pay with the 611..

The people who you see responding here are customers. We can't make any adjustments to your account. Before contacting Public Mobile's moderators, what exactly is happening with your account?

If your account is suspended for non-payment, please make a top up to your account.

Does it happen to be your renewal date? If it is, is it just the online account that says your account has been suspended or has your service stopped working. Public Mobile has a long-standing self-serve account bug that causes it to report that your account is suspended when it really isn't.

@CannedPringles Don't worry and the payment will be done during the midnight. Good night!

Ignore it. It says that to all customers on renewal date. Does service still work? Account will get suspended if no enough funds on balance when it tries to renew tonight or if autopay fails to charge your credit card but you should be okay. If it makes you feel better, you can make manual payment to ensure payment works, but it will still say plan expired.

@CannedPringles If your phone is working do not do anything. If your plan was up for renewal and your phone is still working you can ignore this message. The temporary plan suspension although confusing is a normal part of Public Mobile's renewal process and in many ways it's best to simply not monitor the account during the renewal process.

If you are not familiar with the Public Mobile renewal process the temporary suspended status could easily cause concern and panic and and cause the customer to take uncecessary actions (Making onetime payments) that ofter result in account suspension possibly requiring moderator intervention and uncessary downtime.

The way the PM renewal process works is as follows:

1. Plan will show "expired" sometime before midnight.
2. Rewards get converted to available funds at midnight, rewards reset and account shows Suspended (temporary).
3. In the early hours, if there any available funds they are credited first then if necessary the AP credit card gets charged to cover the plan cost renewal.
4. Plan gets renewed and the account status changes back to Active.

@CannedPringles

Don't worry. As long as your plan is working right now, you should be fine by the morning.

The night before your payment expires (in your case, May 25), the self service account will show these warnings. Overnight, payment should come from your autopay and your plan should be still running by the morning. These warnings often alarm customers.
