Reactivate account

I can’t reactivate my account on line or through 611. Keeps saying “ooops there was a problem” credit card is all good

@softech  I know I'm like a scratched record (remember those, 🤣) that keeps repeating, but I think CSAs should be told when service is down even though valid payments have been made/attempted. I have no confidence that Public Mobile tracks these glitches without a ticket being registered. Of course all the workarounds should suggested so members can recover service asap.

@Lieux- Yes, but that would only work if you do have enough balance to cover the plan cost. But a smaller custom amount does not work if you don't have enough balance.

@RHemphill  The solution for one account around me was to pay 1$ more on the account even if it was enough money to reactivate the account. But this trick was the good one.

Thank you! I’ve called my credit card and it’s all good. I’ve been trying to reactivate for a week now. I’m thinking the voucher also

@RHemphill  I would wait an hour just in case it is a credit card fraud lock on the PM side

Then after a full hour, try to access My Account using Incognito mode and pay again to  see if it works, or *611 after

if still not working, you can open ticket with PM and wait for them to look into it

or get a voucher from SDM/711/Shell/London drug and then top up the voucher using *611 for quick reactivation
