Why is the "forgot email" option completely useless?

my boyfriend is a fellow public mobile customer, and he is completely locked out of his account. he's been able to make payments using pre-paid vouchers from his work, but he wants to set up autopay to avoid the hassle.

he can't log in because when i select "forgot email" because we've forgotten the email, it asks me to put in his cell phone number.....and then says it's sent a link to the email address. the one that we've forgotten. so that account is completely inaccessible due to the broken system.

i tried making another account for him but i can't link the SIM card because we no longer have its barcode. so right now he is completely unable to set up autopay because the account has a credit card attached to it that has since been replaced with a new number. can someone please tell me what his best option is? as it is right now, he needs to be able to get back into his account or he will be switching providers. thanks.

He can call 1-855-4PUBLIC or dial 611 and replace the CC for AutoPay. Otherwise, contact a CS_Agent to help him access his account.

This is a public forum and we are all members like him so if he wants to switch carriers. It is up to him.

you don't create another account and link the sim card.  You can in fact ask PM to help to sort this out 

ask him to use that "temp" account to login Community here and submit ticket with it   Since he cannot properly login, he won't be able to open the preferred Chatbot ticket.  So, he will need to message them here:
       https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

CS_Agent will reply to him via community inbox between 9AM-10PM EST (Mon-Sun), check here:
