Public Mobile downgraded by account and removed my data rewards, now I have no data

[weswecan]

So i use to have a 5GB plan and 2GB of rewards.  The other week I got a SMS saying i had used 95%, I went on to the public mobile portal to be shown that I only have 2GB of data and that i had used ~1900MB or so.

I bough an additional 1GB because I was on the road and didn't want issues.  To my surprise the next day i get a SMS saying i've used 100% of my data.

Now when I login to the portal, I can't see my data usage (error) and I don't have any data on my phone, and half the time SMS doesn't work either.

I can't submit a support ticket because i can't verify (gives me an error, even though I'm using the same email and password to login to the portal).

So at the end of the day - I've paid for 8GB, have used maybe 2GB and haven't had data for over a week and can't get a hold of anyone at Public Mobile to help me.

Can anyone here help me?

Ahh, so now comes the personal attacks against people helping out for free…

Check your available balance online, you quite likely didnt complete the purchase of an extra 1GB of data properly. It is PREPAID here thus if you select an add-on and it sends you to add funds you then need to go back to select the add-on after adding the funds. If you have $15 or more sitting in available funds that is that part of the problem.

Hello @weswecan  Seems a few things are going on here.

Maybe a service / phone issue?

• Perform a Network Settings on your device.

As for the discrepancy of data usage. When you check out your "View Usage History" does this lead you to where data has been used?

If things still are not making sense, and you need to clarify what data you should show left use this link to:

Private Message to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA)

NOTE: the overview area should be the accurate levels are what is left on your account. It is possible you are receive erroneous text messages. This has been known to happen.

-------------------------

Install an app to track your ‘live’ usage so you can keep track. Public Mobile are 30 day plans (not monthly).

If you are android, try this one:

Data Witness app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.iwik.datawitnesspm&hl=en_CA&gl=US

I use this one myself and it gives me what I need from it.

You could also check out Data counter widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roysolberg.android.datacounter&hl=en_CA&gl=US

If you are an Apple user, I am sure there is a 30-day app that is available as well.
