hey gang,
I'm going on vacation and Public Mobile doesnt roam where I will be. So to keep my phone number I was going to change to a 90 day plan with no talk, text or data. That came to $25 which I added to the account. When I hit the, change plan at next renewal button, it doesnt do anything. no error msg, no nothing.

I have autopay and asked to change the plan at the next renewal. I hit the appropriate button - change on next renewal date - but didnt get any msg - I would expect either a msg saying thx, we'll bill you the new amount when your renewal happens or sorry, there's been a problem.
So you won't be worried I think it would be best to send a private message to the moderator team with your phone number, account PIN, and an explanation.

@jmweise why not remove auto pay and just let your plan expire. you have 90 days to reactivate the plan without losing the number. once you come back add the funds and your phone should start working.

Depends what you are trying to do:
a) change plan today >> pay now
b) change plan on next renewal date >> pay automatically later.
What do you need to do; ie. when do you leave/return? when does current plan expire?

thx - that's good info.

@jmweise That will not work as you hope. Don't do anything more until you read: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Paying-for-your-service/Extended-Absence/m-p/142735#M....
Then return for more clarity.
