Hi everyone,
I got my service and the rep at the retail store messed up and added $35 plan when it should've been the $40 plan. I tried to create a community account shortly after several times, but i kept getting an authentication error. I just finally got an account from another device but how do I correct the plan? Can someone please help me ?!
sorry im new to public mobile.
thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes you're correct about the online vs. retail activations. Good catch!
I believe it may have been @Dunkman (???) who suggested on the original "more the merrier" thread that the promotion's extended to early January.
The announcement is gone, but on PM front page, the boxing week sale is still being advertised with new end date of January 4.

One never knows what happens with a retail activation... I do hope the OP used a referral code and the rep added the 2GBBONUS...
@HALIMACS - that 2GBBONUS states for online activations. Also, activations by end of December 28th...
Was there an update I missed and this promo is still going on or something, anyone know?
IF not, this should be Over and Done with.
But hey, if it is still being advertised...why not try and use it.

you need to Contact Customer Support Agent by CS_Agent, and Explain your issue to
them can solve your issue, they are nice Service Team they will help you 100%.
if you miss it to use a Refer-A-Friend code and the monthly bonus for 2GB
code ( 2GBBONUS ) only them can Add for you and also to fix it your plan,
Here’s How To Contact Customer Support Agent by Submit a Ticket,
* that monthly bonus for 2GB no expires but you have to keep your plan and if you changed your plan you will lost the promo 2GB, just to you know.

This is not a big deal!
If your account is active and you are on $35 plan, just schedule plan change ON NEXT RENEWAL to $40. I hope you can live 30 days with 3GB instead of 4GB.
Do not change plan 'now'!
Can you log in into your PM account? Obviously you did create community account since your post is here... PM account and Community accounts are two different one. Use the same email for both in order to collect (potential) rewards posting and helping others here.

@YOURFRIEND4EVA - FYI - plans are the cost, plus taxes...so just making sure you know that before anything else.
If you change your plan immediately, you will forfeit any funds you already prepaid for the $35 plan.
In your case, might I suggest you contact Customer Support Agents for help to change your plan from the $35 to the $40 plan, so that it can take effect right away without any extra funds other that the $5 plus taxes (of course).
But, you would have to state your case about the retail location making the error.
Two methods to contact Customer Support Agents (CSA) here:
