Hi, Could anyone clarify if I can temporarily put an account on suspend by stopping auto pay for the maximum 90 days, then while in the US insert a Mint Mobile SIM card using the same phone and phone number with out messing up PM account reactivation when returning home?
(Mint Mobile has a special $15. p/mo for 3 mos.)
Thanks🙏

Do remember to take off the autopay if you have one setup.
renew your account close to 85-88 days and your account will be active again.
you can use mint SIM with US number if the frequencies of MINT align with your device.
when you are back in Canada, just swap your PM SIM.

You may find this additional info handy....
Options for your account and service....
**If you are on a grandfathered plan or have a specific promotion tied to your plan like the current 2GBBONUS of bonus reoccurring plan data you will lose your plan and/or your bonus data or promotion if your change rate plans and will not get it back. Proceed with caution if you choose this method. Consult with the community first before changing plans.
Most important mark on your calendar day 85 of your suspension and day 90. Do not forget when you must unsuspend your account via lost/stolen and/or pay and reactivate your service so you don't lose your phone number and account. Happy travels!

I can relate about the typing on the phone…one finger no less! Lol Thanks for your help.
Would you happen know if when reactivating your account it starts to bill from that new date ie 5 days in advance, or reverts to billing from your original account date before suspension?

Thanks so much for your suggestion to use Text Now while away…that worked brilliantly!

@Eister : Reactivating after your prior plans' 30 days expiration and before the 90 days will start a whole new 30 day term.

Do you know if they pick up from your old billing date…ie 22nd. or does renewal trigger a new contract date ie 15th… if that’s the 7 days in advance to avoid cancellation.

@Eister : There is no billing data here. It's a 30 day term. The renewal date "floats" up the days of the month as the months go by. When you reactivate, it will start a new 30 day term.
