Public Mobile Service

[Kenny99]

My Public Mobile service stopped working last October 2024.  I can no longer get into my account to make a payment.  How do I get my service back, January 21, 2025.

Call 1-855-4PUBLIC and check your status of your account. If it indicates Suspended, you can reactivate your service/account before 90 day window by making a manual payment with CC or vouchers.

Vouchers can be purchased from 7-11, Canadian Tire gas stations, London Drugs, Canadian Superstore, Shell, Shoppers Drugmart, Safeway, Staples.

If it is Closed then too bad, you account is closed SIM will stop working and your number will be returned to the carrier you got your number from.

@Kenny99   Do you know why my service stopped for no apparent reason?

Just a guess but auto-pay fails sometimes and that will suspend your account until it closes after 90 days of non-payment.  But we're just customers and can't see what happened, you would need to contact customer service as suggested.

after 90 days Suspended..your account is deactivated automatically. You should try to log in to your account to see if you're able to pay and resume service. Otherwise...you need to start all over again with a new sim. You need a different email address but if use gmail...you can use an alias.

@Kenny99 if it's been 90 days or more you will have lost your number. If you think you might be under 90 days you haven't got time to waste, reach out to a support agent immediately to see if they can activate your account.

if your account was suspended for 90 days or more...it's been deactivated. Now you need a new sim to start a new account but use a different email address.
