I am on auto-pay, and PM has mot taken the monthly payment so I'm out of service. Why the hell do i have auto pay if it does not work???? I even manually added money this morning. WHERE IS MY SERVICE???

out of all the PM puzzles to maneuver around...one would think Autopay would be bullet-proof... but not so. I've never had issues with Autopay...but seen many who have. That should be the one piece that should be relied upon to work without issues.  I'd suggest you stick around and hope for the best...but it's your choice obviously.

OK back in business. So here's the scoop. Autopay did not happen, so this morning I had no service, logged in and after a ridiculous wait for the web portal to open, I see the subscription period still dec-jan . There was $7 balance from my rewards. It asked me for another sum when I selected 'make a payment' and I paid it with the same CC that is listed in the account (not sure why autopay did not work. In any case, I thought that was it. When I viewed the page after payment, It showed nothing owing, although I still had no service and subscription period was still dec-jan . Turns out, it didn't as for the right amount when I did 'make payment' . It asked for $25 but my plan is $39 so it should have asked for $32. You would think, that even with this screw up, it would then say I owed $7 but it did not. Here is what it showed ( attached pic)pm.png

So asked for the wrong amount, and then said I owe nothing. When I added another payment and typed in $7 , it all started working. When this happened, I remembered that this was a problem quite a while back b4 I had autopay. That's quite a while ago so this issue has never been fixed. So I asked the CS rep to have anyone at PM who thinks I shouldn't switch to lucky mobile to email me an explanation of why this bug has never been fixed and when I can expect them to fix it. PM really needs to get a much faster portal and ensure it shows right amount owed. Pretty basic things to have correct. Pathetic that they haven't fixed this yet. So either they email me and convince me to stay, or I'll be switching to Lucky Mobile. I'll pay a couple of dollars more per month but I wont need to deal with this crap anymore.

Bo it's not working. I'm on chat with CS now. Thanks

@Dano58   Maybe silly question, but does your phone work at all?  There have been a few instances where there are odd messages, like account suspended or on hold, on renewal day while the renewal is being processed but the phone still actually works.  Just wondering, since you said your current subscription expires today.

Watch the little envelop icon on top right side of page will be highlighted when they re4spond to you.

added....if your business is that dependent on having cell service...maybe PM isn't for you. There is no traditional call center type of help...just us Community Forum members. For any account related issues, you're directed to Customer Support via messaging OR the (not working) chatbot. It shouldn't take long to fix your issues, but just not instantly and over the phone with a call center person. Try to take a deep breath and it'll get fixed shortly.

@Dano58   You can check that your message was sent by going to your inbox and tapping the down symbol for your sent folder.  If you see your outgoing message there you're good, just keep checking the inbox for a reply.  They're usually pretty quick.

@Dano58 

no worry, they got the message.  They usually reply within the day, but more often reply in an hour. So, monitor your Community inbox.  Since this is urgent, if no reply in 2 hours , or even an hour, message them again

I understand you try to help. But I need PM to fix this. How do I get a hold of them???? I know this is supposed to be community supported but when you screw up like this....you need to let people get a hold of a human, even if just in chat. I'm not having a convo witha BOT.

@Dano58 

it is true the Community cannot fix it as we are just customers like you.  We just trying to help and make sure nothing was overlooked and try to get your service working sooner.  

since none of that worked, please open ticket with support by direct message here:

**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on top right) after the ticket is opened.  CS Agent will reply to you there

The money has not been used. Still showing old cycle that expires today. What gives? They still never took autopay, the money available i added manually this AM.

Please login My Account again using Incognito mode.  Then check if the fund is still sitting as Avaiable fund or if the cycle date still showing old one or updated showing next 30 days

https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/overviewhttps://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/overview

If the money already used for renewal (do not see what you paid in Available fund) and cycle date updated to the new one already, try reboot the phone once

If you still see the money as Available fund and cycle date still showing the old one, try to first put your account to Lost/Stolen here https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/profile/lost-or-stolen-phone and click "Put my services on hold" and logout My Account for 5 mins.  Then log back in and resume service from there.  This should trigger the renewal
