I've just signed up with PM but cannot believe how difficult it is to get assistance. I've changed my mind and want to cancel my account but don't know how to do this!!

You're welcome! Come here anytime. We can help with almost every question or issue as long as it isn't something that has to be fixed in your account. And most things you can do in your appropriately named "self serve" account. You might even earn a community reward as you learn!

Awesome, thanks for your help and the welcome.

@yar654321 

No problem....its a bit of a learning curve at first but you will figure out. That's why the community is here...to help answer your questions. I can't stand Simple--Simon so this is what I do...

 

Send a private message...   Contact the CSA's (formerly moderators) by sending a private message and leave a detailed message explaining your issue and the info to verify your account by including the following information:  

 

  1. Full name and address on pm account. ( Or province and postal code for newer accounts.)
  2. Email, phone # and pin #.

 

If  you cannot remember your pin # include at least three ( if they apply)of the following:

 

  1.  Date of birth (n/a on newer accounts.)
  2. Last payment, date, amount, type and last 4 digits.
  3. Alternate phone number if any.
  4. Security question and answer.
  5. Plan amount, any add ons or promos on account.
  6. Last 4 digits of sim card.
  7. Any rewards in your account.
  8. Autopay y/n?
  9. Account #.
  10. Frequently called/texted phone numbers in the last 30 days.  

 

The average wait time is 2 to 4 hours but be prepared to wait up to 48 hours for non urgent requests. Current wait times are about one hour and are probably even less as I have had some very quick responses in tne past week.

 

Keep an eye on your private message box the envelope icon next to your avatar for a little number to pop indicating a message from the CSA's (formerly moderators.) Responding promptly will speed up service times.

 

 Do not post any of this info in the community only in your private messages when communicating or contacting the CSA/Moderator_Team.

sorry to keep asking you these questions but getting help here is not an easy task.

thanks for your welcome, much appreciated. BTW, how do I send a message to a customer service agent? the only links I get are the "Bot" and any one who responds to this thread.

@yar654321 

It can take up to 48 hours for the 2gb bonus data to be applied but you can ask the CSA to apply it if you didn't enter the promocode 2GBBONUS or if you forgot to enter your friends referral code for your $10 bonus referral credit.

 

FYI...pm rarely contacts you for porting issues that message really should be changed to just contacting customer support. But if you did enter an alternate number they occasionally do contact customers for very unusual circumstances.

 

Edit:

BTW...Welcome to public mobile!

Yay! Glad to hear you got the underlying issue resolved @yar654321 

 

Please mark this thread as "solved" by choosing any post as the solution.

 

Welcome to PM, hope you are able to enjoy the service for a while now that the porting niggles are sorted out.

Go into your account and remove the auto pay.  It won't renew.

OR

If you are porting your number to another company, your account will be closed automatically as soon as your number is ported.

so far no one has contacted me and i cant contact them, there is nowhere for me to verify the account number and the  "Bot" is useless.


@yar654321 

Ok.. at least we know the porting is not completed and probably could be done.

 

I sent you a number earlier.. Call the Porting team and they will tell you what missed and you can provide them the missing info

 @yar654321 : Do you have an unused phone lying around? Maybe put the old SIM in there and see what all you get. Maybe even receive calls (not sure).

 @yar654321 : What result do you get from this link?

is there anyone I can contact? they've already charged me for one month's service but can't port my number from my current provider. I just signed up yesterday.


@yar654321   What happened?  why they cannot port your number?  did they confirm they CANNOT ? or just not done yet?

To complete a porting, you need to receive a text from your current provider and you need to reply YES.  Did you got the text?  did you reply YES within 90 mins?

 

Do you want to continue the porting request?  there is a support number you can call and they can assist and tell you if anything wrong , anything missing or re-trigger the process for the text

 

I will message you the number, please check your Community inbox, envelope icon on the top right

You just remove your credit card and cancel autopay in self serve. Your account will be suspended at the end of the current month, then will get permanently cancelled 90 days after that.

 

Sorry to see you leave, but I can't say I don't understand why you'd want to.
