Hello, 

 

I have a phone xxx-xxx-xxxx. My credit card says declined and I confirmed that I have room on it and tried multiple cards and it still says declined. I tried my husbands card and it worked for his phone but wont work on my mine. I have not had a phone for three days and need help please. If it can't be resolved I will have to switch providers. I have missed 2 doctor appts already...

 

I love your service and would hate to leave.

 

Thanks

Tavia xxxx

Try registering credit card after clearing the cache or in incognito mode in a new browser window.

There is no one to talk to, CSA and community will help.

@taviab 

The main issue you are probably having now is getting the error message after two attempted payments. This is will continue if you don't wait an hour for this temporary lock out to clear. Read thru the spoiler below to avoid all of the tiny errors you can make that will cause the error message in the first place and then reoccurs by the third attempt. This rule also applies to payments via 611 but the errors thru 611 commonly occur by a mistake in a voucher number or accidently reusing a previously loaded voucher.

 

Spoiler

I just click on one time payment and in the middle of the page you can click on manage my card. Then I follow this procedure....

 

Follow this method when making a manual payment/adding a card to the account....only use the emboldened portion of the instructions if the payment card is already on file.

 

  1. Reboot your device.
  2. Clear your browser, use secret/incognito mode in firefox, chrome or safari.
  3. Choose replace card rather than remove card.
  4. Copy your address from your billing statement.
  5. Add your apt/unit/suite # to the street address. ie. 101-123 1ST AVE W, CITY, PROV.
  6. Do not put a space in the postal code. X0X0X0 not X0X 0X0.
  7. USE ALL CAPS if necessary.
  8. Do not use autofill. Type everything manually.

Once you successfully update your card do not attempt your payment immediately. Log out/in then go to make a payment to pay for your renewal. Otherwise if you were not suspended I would recommend a $1 test payment. Follow my further instructions for a successful payment to unsuspend your account.

 

Do not try more than two attempts at adding a card or payments ( successful or not) or you will continue to get this message. Wait at least 1 hour to try a third time another hour for your 5th try....and so on....and do not make more than 4 unsuccessful tries with the same card in a 24 hour period or you will trigger a fraud alert lock out requiring assistance from customer support.

 

 

Go to make a payment. Choose the "other amount" option and add $1 more than the amount owing and submit the payment. If that is successful go back to your overview page and if it does not say active  click on the reactivate button. If that works log out and reboot. If that does not work and your payment is in your balance rather than showing $1 then go to the usage or plans page. Click on lost/stolen and suspend your service. Log out/in. Resume your service. Your balance should now be $1. Log out and reboot.

@taviab 

Have you tried making the payment via 611 on your phone? You'll need the account PIN if you want to use the credit card on file but won't need it if you pay with vouchers (keep in mind some vouchers bought at certain places need a few hours before becoming active) or instant top up (canadiantire gas bars...).

 

If you don't succeed in re-registering your cc in your account, you'll need CS help:

Spoiler

Open a ticket via:
https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html (faster response time)
Type "ticket" > Click "Contact Us" > Select your issue > "Click here to submit a ticket↗"

or send a private message to:
https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
and describe your issue. Include your name,phone #, account #, Email address,4-digit PIN to speed up authentication process.

 Note: There are no humans to speak to at PM, everything is done online.

@taviab 

The payment system is finicky.  Sometimes you get locked out from payment system.  Might want to try again in one hour.  Maybe clear cache, incognito mode or different web browser. When you enter the credit card information, make sure the address exactly matches your credit card billing address.  

 

If you need service right away, you can purchase a payment voucher either online (recharge.com - service fee applies) or in store and load up the funds and get service right away.  

 

Then wait for CSA response after you submit a ticket (as described above).  

 

P.S. I will start your own thread/topic.
