did that and got a ticket number, thanks

@chipolbrok It's possible that there was a typo when you originally setup your account so maybe that why it's not working.
Best to submit a ticket for help. Hit the ? And type Mod.

Does this work at all? https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/forgot-password/
Remember to check your email junk folder just in case.
If the forgot password option isn't working, then you'll need Moderator help to get access to your account.

Re-reading your first post (OP), did you get some kind of error when you tried the forgot your password link?
Your email is _likely_ the same as this community one so that should be right. Or is it? Can you look in all your email inboxes for the welcome email that you got at activation? That would be the email address to login to the self-serve.

You got a new expiry date month /year.
Enter the new information in u r account. Credit card not updated so transaction failed.

It wouldn't affect your account access but it would affect your autopay. It almost certainly has a new expiry. Maybe you changed address. Maybe you changed your name 🙂 .

@chipolbrok Unfortunately, Autopay may fail due to unknown reasons. Maybe, software glitch. You need to do a manual payment and reactivate your account.

Technology happens.
Nice to hear that you've not had a problem for a year.
Did you try the Forgot your password? link?
I would suggest getting a voucher and using the 611 service that you said did work for access...just not for paying by your payment method. Are you sure your payment method has room or balance or is not expired?
You can remit the voucher in 611.

Hi @chipolbrok
It's not a very good sign. Is it possible there was an issue with your charge card?
Please contact Moderators and explain the situation. Your phone service isn't working, you cannot access your self-serve account and you cannot call 611 to make a payment.
Click the green question mark at bottom and enter your question into SIMon. Answer the prompts until you get to the Contact Us button, click it and a Submit Ticket button should appear.
If you encounter problems with submitting a ticket, you can send a private message to Moderators, but this alternate contact method may have longer response time.
p.s. As suggested by z10user4 while waiting for Moderator to reply, you can get a payment voucher and call 611 to redeem it to reactivate your service.

Are you able to buy a voucher in many stores or online? That would get your services working first and then you can figure out what's going on with your payment method.

What happens when you dial 611? If things are in an acceptable state then you should hear either your payment date or invited to pay.
If you simply can't connect to 611 then you have something else going on that we can explore after.
