Free Tablet

I’m afraid that I’m going through the same situation right now. I called to cancel my tv service last week and it took an hour and a half to do that. I was then offered a tablet which I said I didn’t want but the man kept telling me it was free. I finally agreed to it because I was exhausted from being on the phone for so long. Now they are calling constantly asking for me to connect the mobile. I don’t want the mobile and never discussed that option with the rep.  I’m concerned I’m going to have to spend hours more on the phone begging to have a service I don’t want removed.

You all should change your practices. This is not ethical.

I am dealing with the exact same thing right now. I cannot get them to take the tablet off of my account and stop paying for it. They were also charging me a fee for a phone line for the tablet which I finally got them to remove. Then every month I called in about it and they said 'oh we have to upgrade your plan from gen 5 to gen 6. I am on the phone with them now saying I have to upgrade from gen 6 to gen 7. Every month is a new story. I am cancelling all service with Xfinity entirely over this and the 3 modems I have had this month that do not work for home internet. We have been relying on our cell phone hot spots for wifi for our work computers as service continuously drops daily. So done.

Greetings @user_5t51t0, and thanks for posting your issue to the Xfinity forums, I hope this message finds you well. I am sorry to hear about the experience with the tablet, but you have come to the right place for assistance with this issue. You mentioned that you are no longer paying for the service on the tablet, but are still paying for the tablet itself, is that correct? If so, do you still have the device, or was it returned?

I still have the tablet because Xfinity refused to take it back as I was past the 30-day return window. Now they are making me pay for the 'free' device.
