@Zackbarr2019If your plan is not active (or paid for), you will not be able to make any calls. It sounds like you have loaded up your account to $41.. now you need to make the $40 payment so the plan becomes working again. It would really be helpful if you provide us with screenshots of what you are seeing, so we can try to help you.

It took the money and says my account is active i have used a voucher from walmart for the last three months with not ever having to go through this **bleep** and in my account its now saying i still owe them 41 dollars

I cant make any phone calls and i have removed sim and turned phone off and on again

@Zackbarr2019From your other messages which are hard to understand. I pieced together that your plan lapsed and it became Inactive.. Now I guess you have got your plan active again. The next step you need to do is either do a Lost Stolen / Find trick.. or add $1 to your balance. Either one will get the cell phone tower to send new network commands to your phone.. hopefully to get your phone working again.

There is not enough to work with here.

Is the phone compatible with PM?

Is it a port in progress (your old SIM/Line would still be active until it completes)?

Is the phone locked to your old provider?
Have you reset your phone?

Have you tried the lost/stolen trick in My Account?

Are you in an area where Bell/Telus have service?

Did you run out of minutes?

Did you add funds to your account, but not select a plan?

Did you move your phone number from another provider? It may take an some time for Public Mobile send a message to your provider to move your number.

I'd say wait for an hour and try again. Activation is not immediate.

What exactly is not working on your plan? Did you try to restart your phone? You could also remove your sim card and put it back in and that should work. Best of luck
