Billing thru Xfinity for outraged data charges when my data is off on my phone

I need to speak to customer service.  I was promised to get Internet and phone for a program because of low income problems  I qualified because I have medicaid. As t first it was always  26.00 as month. All of a sudden I am still getting charged that amount through Comcast and another charge through Xfinity for crazy data charges that vary monthly from 40 to 90 dollars.   I have called in the past and was told to turn off my data if I wasn't using it.  I do thus and am still getting billed.  I try to speak to a real person but can never get one a d the ai cannot help me.  Can someone please call me.  I am an elderly woman who lives alone , never plays games, or gears music, or downloads on my phone.  I still have my data off and this month I got charged 76.00 thru Xfinity and the 26.00 thru Comcast.  I need help for now I pay more than I use to with another provider.  Xfinity is the one that called me, provided a great phone plan and now it has all changed to a horrible ordeal.

user_2hbplr Thank you so much for your post for help with your billing. It sounds like you may have our Internet Essentials for your home internet It is our low-income program and there are two pricing options $9.95 for the lower speed and $29.95 for the top tier. That does not change like our normal promotions that expire from time to time. We have the Xfinity mobile services for cell options and that should use your home internet/wifi when you are at home to stop you from using your mobile data.  You can change your data option for your mobile number right from the Xfinity app if you do use the phone when you are away from home a lot.  You can track your data as well so you can keep an eye on where you are at to prevent usage. For better assistance with your mobile billing,

you can reach our Xfinity Mobile Team with a call, text message, or via chat. Call or Text: 1 (888) 936-4968 or [Chat with a Specialist](https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant/?channel=xMobile)

The mobile services are managed using the same apps but billed separately that would be why you see two charges but our mobile team can help make sure you do not go over your data if you talk with them.
