Reactivating account on a different plan

[thinkLyndon]

How do I reactivate my account on a lower plan?  I had to leave Canada for a family emergency, wasn't able to purchase credit vouchers and can't get the account reactivated.

Thank you

Top up your account with credit card or voucher for the plan cost.

Go to Change Plans page, choose your plan and click Change now. Reboot.

If you still have problem , contact CS for help:

Go to the plans and add on page. Choose the new cheaper plan. Choose change plan now. Your service should automatically renew. Keep in mind you can suspend your service for up to 90 days. You can only use your service outside of Canada in the US if you purchase US roaming add ons. It will not work anywhere else in the world so you may not want to reactivate your service until you return to Canada.

Edit:

My sympathies for your loss.

@thinkLyndon    Take a look at this suggestion from one of PM's management team member on how to go about making the plan change during suspension:

@thinkLyndon   if your account is suspended for over 90 days, then the account would have closed

if less than 90 days, try to use forgot Password and then entered the correct email address and answer the security question to reset the password

if you cannot reset the password that way, you will have to open a ticket with PM support, click on the Bubble on the lower right or directly at : https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.
Follow these these to get to ticket open page quicker:

1. type: Forgot log in information
2. Click "Contact Us"
3. Click "Click here to submit a ticket"
4. you will then direct to another page to open ticket.

After ticket is submitted, make sure to check your Community Inbox(top right corner envelope icon) periodically for response from PM's CS Agent

Thank you - I can read websites.  This doesn't answer my question - which is why I came here for help.

[thinkLyndon]

No.  I was just out of the country because my father died and so the account suspended.  Which is fine.

I want to reactivate on a lower plan and don't know how to do it.  There is enough credit for the new plan I want.

[thinkLyndon]

If I have to reactivate the same plan that I had, then the service is not as advertised.

for Reactivate A Suspended Plan

Missed a payment? After your plan expires, all you need to do is top-up your balance to keep the current plan going. You have up to 90 days to make a payment and, after doing so, your payment cycle will restart and your service will resume.After 90 days of non-payment, your account will be permanently deactivated, which means you will:

• Lose access to your phone number, and won’t be able to transfer it to a new provider in the future.
• Need a new Public Mobile SIM card if you decide to activate a new Public Mobile account.
