autopay not working

[HeloiseT]

I had autopay and updated my credit card a couple of weeks ago.  when it came time for it to be done today it did not go through and now my account is suspended.  i have tried updating it again, deleted the old one and it still is not working.  i also tried just sending in a payment with my cc and that is not working.  any guidance is appreciated.  thanks!

Never assume things should work as you think. When changing credit cards, I would manually try to add funds like $1 just so you know the cc does work. If it does not work, then you have time to fix the issue before it tries to renew with autopay. I also manually add fuds a day or two before my plan renews with autopay. This way I avoid an autopay glitch but also get my autopay reward.

@HeloiseT  If you make too many attempts then a security lock gets triggered on your account that needs to be cleared by PM in order to  be able to add your cc again. Your payment did not go through because it's a known fact that Public's payment processing will fail on occasion because of a timeout issue that they are aware of and need to fix.

Best to submit a ticket and ask them to fix the issue. To submit a ticket to the Public Mobile please start a conversation with the Public's virtual assistant, SIMON by clicking this link.

click the "preferred payment type"
choose "other, enter the desired amount" and manually type in your total plan amount and make a payment. 
go back to your "overview" tab and click the "reactivate" button
