Cannot setup for PAP or make payments with credit card online

I can't set up for pre-authorized payment or make any payments with my credit card using MyBell. It gives me an error saying wrong card number and security code.

I am able to make credit card payments through the phone using the same card number and security code.

Hi there @David4, thank you for reaching out to the Bell Community.

Are you still getting an error message when you try to make a payment via MyBell? 

If so, can you share if you are using the MyBell app, or accessing MyBell through a browser? If using a browser can you test through the app, and vice versa?

Another option would be trying to make a payment with a different credit card, if possible, to see if the same thing happens.

Keep the Community posted.

Hi @Tori Billing,

Thank you for reaching out to the Bell Community.

Can you share a screen shot of the different error messages you get when you try to set up pre authorized payments? What type of card are you using (e.g. Visa, Mastercard, Debit)?

Have you tried setting up the payment directly in the MyBell app or website?

Every time I try to do anything with the My Bell App, including update my credit card for preauthorized payments or modify my tv channels, I get the "internal server error, please try again later" mesaage. Its been this way for weeks. Virtual assistant is completely useless and just sends me in circles and I've been on the phone waiting for over an hour now. Why is the customer service so terrible?

 

Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community.

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. You mention that everything that you try to do with the MyBell App results in an "internal server error, please try again later" message. Can you please elaborate? Modem model, internet package, etc.

I have included the following ideas for you to pursue.

  1. Which device are you trying to use the MyBell App on? Mobile phone, Tablet, P.C., make & model
  2. Do you have more than one device that you can check to see if you are experiencing this same issues?
  3. Have you verified that your operating system & the app are up to date?
  4. Have you tried rebooting the device? (Full power off / on)
  5. Have you tried uninstalling & reinstalling the MyBell App?
  6. Are you experiencing these same issue if you log in to your MyBell account with a web browser?
  7. Are using a Wi-Fi connection or ethernet connection?
  8. Are there any error messages on your modem?
  9. Have you recently rebooted your modem? Unplug the power cable for the modem from the power source.  
    Wait at least 30 seconds or so. Plug the modem back into the power source. The lights on the modem will blink. Wait for them to stop blinking.

There are any number of other additional factors that can result in the error message that you mention. E.g. time of day, network traffic, maintenance, etc.

I am hoping one of my suggestions above will solve your issue.

Thank you for contacting the Community Forum.

Take care.

I understand that. Please ensure that you have the latest revision of the MyBell app. It appears that app updates are arriving fast and furious. I have also found that logging out, shutting the phone down and restarting and then logging back in can make things work.

I am trying to set up Autopay through my bank account to get the $10 monthly discount on my mobility plan. I deleted and reinstalled the Bell app, also tried through MyBell. Get same message once I have entered my bank info and hit continue. Get error message ‘Technical issue, cannot process’

My problem was with automatic debit to my bank. Bell customer service had to set it up manually. Done now!
