@MatthewGoguen My "favourite" backup for this situation is an application like that from fongo.com. It provides free calling across Canada from wherever you are connected to wifi (or on cellular data).

@MatthewGoguen, as you've discovered, changing a plan when it is suspended will not work. It's unfortunate, but that's what happens here at Public Mobile. Just for your future reference, any changes to anything, including taking your phone number to a different provider, needs to have an 'Active' plan. But let's see if we can get you assistance or even on your way.
You haven't said what plan you're on, and what one you want. If the plan you wish to get is cheaper, this is my suggestion - pay for the full renewal of your previous plan to start your plan again, then schedule a plan change for your next renewal. This will get you service now, and lock-in the plan change so you don't forget it in the future.
If this isn't an option, you'll need to make sure you have the correct funds available in your balance, and make sure you've sent enough information regarding your situation to the Moderator_Team via private message (the envelope icon top right of the screen). Include the phone number, account number, pin and detailed information to get as much info to the Mods as possible.

If your plan expired? If so, only a Moderator can change the plan for you. All you can do in selfserve is reactivate the same plan. So all you can do for now is wait.
