Reactivating and adding new payment method

I’ve been a customer now for a while. I recently had to change my credit card and my service with Public Mobile was disconnected and now I’m having difficulty reconnecting my service and submitting my new credit card information.

To update your credit card information, you can easily do so via My Account

Please login to My Account, go to Payment page, click Manage Subscription, and click Manage Payment Method, or use this direct link: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/payment/manage-card

(Or if you are using PM app, go to Payment page, click Update Card Information.  For better success, grant Location Permission for PM app in the App Settings)

If it does not work the first time and you don't need to make a payment urgently, wait 24 hours and try again.  Also, please try using BOTH browser and Public Mobile App, some reported they have success after trying with the different method to access My Account. 
When you test with browser, try using Incognito mode
When you test with app and if app was already installed, uninstall it first, clear the cache for your default browser on the phone, then reboot the phone and reinstall the app

Also, while PM is not sending name/address info to credit card for posting payment, it looks like they still have some kind of validation now when updating new credit card.   So, make sure you have the correct address and postal code on your My Account's Profile and match those on your credit card.  Also, check the name on your profile.  If you have a very long name, maybe try shortening it with initials.

And, if you need to make payment urgently to resume service, you can get a voucher from SDM/Rexall/Loblaws/Cantire and then load the voucher using *611 on your phone (or 1.855.4PUBLIC from another phone) to resume service first and then try updating the card again later
(you can also buy a voucher online with a fees from muskbird.com/ding.com/recharge.com  or a complete list of stores carrying PM payment vouchers: https://publicmobile.ca/en/payment-voucher )

I've had better success using the mobile app to update payment card. Log in to your account > tap the Payment tab...scroll to find Update Card Information.
