Dear mods  @CS_Agent, I just lost all service (phone, data).   I've set up autopay a long time ago, so I shouldn't get disconnected.  Please restore my service ASAP.

@Miqqiiy

Sorry to hear that you were attacked, but unfortunately don't understand what your post has to do with Public Mobile and why they would conpensate you.  You can suspend your service in self-serve so that someone can't continue to use your stolen phone service.  You can also have the IMEi of your stolen phone to the national blacklist so that no one else can ever use that phone again.  Keep in mind that your remaining plan time will comtinue to tick down until you reactivate your phone.  Unfortunately, you will need to purchase a new sim card and a new cell phone.  As a goodwill geature, I could see the moderators possibly offering to send you a replacement sim card for free, but please keep in mind Public Mobile really is under no obligatuon to do so.  Other than a maybe a free sim card, I'm not sure what you expect from Public Mobile. Hopefully, police can find your phone and return it to you, but that is probably unlikely.   Good luck in your recovery.

[Miqqiiy]

Hi, MODs

I am here today to ask for a compestation for my lost phones sim card. I can provide information all the information about the incident (ROBBERY/ASSULT) on MAY 13, 2018.

I would be my pleasure to provide my case file number. (File number via:TRANSIT-POLICE.)  I have been contacting the police about my phone on when i could get it back; or just the sim itself. So far i have not recieved a propper reply back from them, as they are still taking fingerprints off my phone.

I hope you guys can understand my situation right now. 

Sincerely, Miguel Torio.

@5199915612 first of all, always a bad idea to use your phone number as your user name on a public forum, but I digress.  I'm not sure what you're asking here.  Public mobile offers dozens of different plan combinations, for anyone:  https://publicmobile.ca/en/bc/plans make sure you check out the "build your own plan" option on that page (scroll past the pre-configured plans to see the link)

EDIT: nevermind, I see you got the answer you needed over here https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Phones-Hardware/Cell-Phone-Plans/m-p/239369#M18715

The site does not have an option to change plan, instead it just an option of " Reactivate plan" or "Activate plan in the next due date" its the same thing I think, either of these just activates the current plan.

You have the option to browse for the new plan though but it never has the option to activate,

I choose a 90 days, Unlli call CA and US, 6 + 6GB of data as new plan supposedly for $150, when I tried to click the "Reactivate plan" since I theres no options to activate the new plan, I thought its for the new plan as the payments says $120 + $6 for tax, plus i have the $30 balance, seems that it summarize the $150 new plan but it turned out it was just the previous plan for $130, turned out I couldnt use my existing $30.

How to use the $30 balance?

Is there even an option to activate the new plan? You have the options to choose plan but no option to activate it.

Can I still change my plan, I just activated few hours ago?

Thanks.

@Yanny_33 I am assuming your plan was already suspended when you started, which it definitely sounds like.  Once the plan is suspended, you can only reactivate it on the previous plan yourself through self-service--you cannot reactivate it yourself on a different plan.  In the future, what you need to do in that situation is contact the moderator_team and ask them to reactivate the account on a different plan on your behalf.  

In your case now, you should reach out to them and ask them to do the plan change for you.  Do NOT attempt to do this yourself in self-serve, or you will be charged another $150 + tax without any refund on the part of the $130 plan you won't get to use.  The moderators can help with this for you though.

Here's all the info you need for contacting the moderators:

Activating at the next renewal will put the new plan in place at renewal reactivating immediately will make the change immediately (you will lose whatever was remaining on your old plan). 

For your situation because you just renewed I would recommend sending a private message to the mods explaining the situation.

@cminer1989 it's not for everybody. Did you end up getting some help?

[Anonymous]

@cminer1989, Public Mobile advertises itself as the phone company without a phone number.  The only support is through this community and the moderators (that communicate primarily via private messages).  The moderators are already gone for the night, so if you have already sent a private message they will likely get back to you in the morning.  They start up at 9AM (EST).

[cminer1989]

ive been trying to get ahold of these guys for hours this is the most rediculous system to get your phone fixed due to technical diffcultys they should have a number to call to actually talk with a human and not hav to wait for them to reply due to email they will lose so many ppl due to this fact right here

You probably don't want to be posting your cell phone number. If you need help from a Public Mobile employee, you can send a private message to a moderator.  Regular users on these message boards are not employees and cannot fix any account related issues.

[Anonymous]

Hi @cminer1989,  Not sure i understand what you mean about having minutes.  All Public mobile plans have unlimited minutes.  Is your account disactivated/supended?  Are you able to log into your self service portal account to see if the account is still active?

If the account *IS* suspended, then you must send a private message to the moderator team in order to change your account.  You cannot change your account once it is suspended.  only a moderator can do that.  If you need to contact the moderators, click here to send the moderator team a private message.
You can find information regarding the moderator team by following this link.

Also, you should remove all private information from your post since this is a public forum and anyone can see it.

Hi @Anna1.  Sorry to hear about your problem logging in.  Unfortunately, the forgot password email often gets sent too late to be used, and sometimes never at all.  In order to get your password reset, you need to send a private nessage to the moderators team.  They will be able to help you reset your password.  Be sure to include your account number and account PIN in your message.

Click here to send them a private message.
You can find information regarding the moderators team by following this link.

Also, in the future, you should always post your new question/issue (even if it is the same as the original question of an existing topic), in a new topic.  That way your issue will get all of the attention it deserves, and won't go unnoticed in an older topic.

[Anna1]

Please help, i can not not access my account. even if i click on forgot password it still doesnt work. the link i receive is always expired by the time i receive it. help!

@adrew sorry to hear about your trouble. 

This is due to an unfortunate bug that kicks in on the renewal date even when auto-pay is enabled. 

The mods have gone home for the day so you will have to wait for a response until at least tomorrow morning.

If you can't wait then you can simply make a manual payment online. 

Otherwise, please send a private message to @CS_Agent and in your message please include:

- explanation of your issue

- your phone and account number. 

[Anonymous · Accepted solution]

Hi @adrew,  Did you check your self service account.  Does everything look OK (shows that your plan is active).  Was today your renawal date?

If everything looks good, then you will need to contact the moderators team using a private message.  They will see your request much sooner than your post here.  Be sure to include your account number and PIN.  Note that they are gone for the day, but are back on-line at 9am (EST).
