Unable to reactivate plan

[Hu_2401]

Good morning. I missed my payment on the 30th of July and now I can't reactivate my plan because public mobile only let me top up $10. Does anyone know why and how can I fix this? Thank you very much

 @Hu_2401 : You can choose a manual/custom amount to pay. What is the pay before date up top now? What is in your Available Funds? Are your services working anyway?

@Hu_2401 

So you are changing plans from $10 to higher price plan?  

Here some more information about changing plans in suspended state:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/Systems-Update-Ability-to-change-plan-w...

FYI:  If you changed plans from $10 to higher plan, you will not be able to change back to the $10 plan.  $10 plan is grandfathered and not available any more to new customers.

The website shows me the current plan is $10 and even though I changed it in the plan overview section, the issue persists.

It shows me the current plan is at $10 and even though I changed it in the plan overview section, the issue still persists.

Website can be finicky.  Maybe try a different web browser, clear cache or incognito mode.  

In self service account, you should be able to manually choose funds equivalent to what you need to restart plan.  Is your credit card registered?  Or using vouchers?

So, it doesn't sound like you owe anything, your account is kinda stuck?

Try these things:

1- Select the "Other..." option below, and add $1 to your account:

Then can you resume/activate?

2- Go into the Lost/Stolen section, and place your account into this status. Then go back and activate/resume it.

IF issue still persist, ask Moderators to help.

I did not use autopay service and I cannot top-up past $10 therefore could not pay the plan.

@Hu_2401 so are you paying with vouchers?

You must top up, to at least, to the plan amount you want to activate to have services again.

See ways to pay here:

Hello @Hu_2401 

Do you have a card registered to your account? You should be able to select an amount in your Self Serve to pay.

If you have no services, and it is past your renewal, maybe your autopay failed?

1. Add Funds to your Plan Amount through SELF SERVE (or by calling 611 if you have a card registered)
2. Go to “Plan and Add-Ons” TAB
3. Select "Lost/Stolen Phone" TAB
4. Select "Suspend Service" BUTTON
5. Then, Select Resume/Reactivate Service
6. Reboot your phone.

If this was an Autopay failure, I would let the Moderators know. And, also ensure all rewards were or will be provided to you.
