Hey, my account is currently suspended, wasn't money in my account for plan. My question is, I'm trying to change my plan to the 15$ plan as times are tight right now. When I try to change to that plan, due to no funds being in my account it prompts me to pay with a credit card , no option for a voucher. If I put my 15$ voucher on my account, will it be put toward my 50$ plan , or does there have to be 50$ for it to be used ? I'm afraid to put the 15$ voucher on my account and then change my plab

get to 7-11 or even Canada Post and get a Re-loadable Visa debit card. Put your $15 0r $20 on it, then go in to your self service account and re-up with your selected $15 plan. It's a good idea to also buy the $5 / 500 minutes of Canada wide calling add-on ...just in case you go over your 100 minutes of outgoing on the $15 plan.

Since your current plan cannot renew with only $15 you can add the voucher. The easiest way is via 611 on your phone or by calling 1 855 4PUBLIC from another phone and entering your 10 digit phone number.
Once you load your voucher via 611 (If you were already on the $15 plan it would automatically reactivate.) You can then do an immediate plan change in your self serve account.
Out of curiosity try having the immediate plan change at the point of payment and then add the voucher via 611 and report back what action you need to take after the voucher is loaded onto hour account balance? It should just prompt you to confirm and submit payment for the new $15 plan.

Ah....your community account still isn't fixed.😪 Plan changes don't need an active account but it's tricky if there is an account balance that equals or exceeds the current plan amount.
In a "do or deactivate/lose account" situation reactivating at any plan cost and contacting support immediately afterwards to correct the plan/credit the account or top up the account for the desired plan is the way to go.

The only time a payment would do anything is when it covers the plan cost. There's no "put towards". So put in the $15. Then you would have $15. Now you can change to the $15 plan because the balance is there to pay for it. It's troubling that they removed the voucher option for changing plan while suspended. They really want to rope people into that credit card don't they.
If someone by the name of admin or admin2 reply to you in private messaging, don't reply to them.

@JAO Also you have 90 days from when account suspended at last renewal . To make a payment so you could easily let it go 87 days before making payment again to keep your number

In order to change plan your account has to be active.
Meaning you have to pay renewal whatever it cost for current plan and THEN schedule plan change on next renewal or change plan NOW (not good idea).
