It would be nice if we could do it ourselves

I like to update myself

I used add-ons twice this past month for travel to USA and the system worked well.  To access phone calls in the USA I needed to connect with a company that still used 3G.

Just moved an account/number over to an esim from a physical sim on an Iphone SE(2020).  Worked great.  My wife is a happy camper.

I check for updates in my app store daily for updates. Sometimes mine update automatically when plugged in to charge & connected to my Wi-Fi.

@Little_Tess  You need to check , unless you have it set in your phone settings and App Store settings automatically update apps 

[Little_Tess]

@ChuckYeah  No sorry you can only update the credit card in your account . To remove  the credit card completely you need the help of support to do that 

send a  private message   To CS_Agents click

Can you remove your credit card from your account? I don't see how I can.

To manage your payment method follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Public Mobile app  (select + symbol on bottom left)
2. Go to the ‘Payments’ tab
3. Select ‘Manage Subscription’
4. Select ‘Manage Card Information’
5. Input your payment details
6. Select ‘Save Payment Information’

Edit: I type way to slow!

[dust2dust]

@jhsu- Tap the + in a circle in the lower left. Payments should show up. Tap that. Go into subscription and manage my subscription

One simple problem after update, I should clear cache and data to solve the problem in login.

I would like to share my latest experience in activating a SIM card and opening a new account and plan for a new user.
The latest “innovations” from PM are simply amazing! I previously registered 3 users without any problems. Now, after paying the bill, only one option appears in the computer browser - download the application. This is where the adventure began!!!
Installing the app on my phone resulted in a web error. pages. I had to ask for help and then the same problems begin, there is still no account number, no pin, etc.
I remembered the problems with Chrome and installed a Samsung Internet browser on my Samsung phone. After that - bingo - I completed the full registration and everything worked. But I’m not 100% sure that obviously only installing a different browser on the phone and the agent from the PM helped. In any case, I would like to draw your attention to similar problems with registering a new account.

The app won't even work lol. I had to go onto Google to log in.

Would it be possible to integrate the phone facial/biometrics login to the app? I really like how some apps, such as Canadian Tire Triangle Rewards, have this integrated.

[dust2dust]

Would it be possible to have it so that when one types in the password that one might then press Enter and it proceeds? As it is I press tab 4 times and press enter. Or have to reach for the mouse and locate the arrow and move the mouse to the big clickable button and click. It's way easier just to press enter. I'm much more familiar with pressing enter on logins.

Installed the app today. Won't open after numerous attempts. Compatibility issue with Brave browser app?

EDIT: I am now able to utilize the Brave browser app. It ended up being a setting issue.

[ValeryD1]

So far, Version 1.3.0: 8/11/23 works good!

Update: The Public Mobile app is finally working again on my iPhone/iPad  7/15/2023 , 6:20pm (ADT)!
