Intl roaming charges after Global Pass

I am seeing international data roaming charges on my bill even though we activated Global Travel Pass. Did your system not update in time? I need to talk to someone at Xfinity mobile about removing these extra charges. Why does your phone number now say "For security reasons, we can't help you over the phone."

@user_72b5c3 thank you for using the Xfinity Community Forums page to reach out regarding your international data roaming charges. Ensuring your bill is accurately reflecting what should be charged is very important, so let's take a closer look at these charges together, as you have referenced the Travel pass feature should have been activated. Just to confirm did you receive a notification on your end indicating the feature was active? Also, are you still currently traveling?

Yes. My daughter, who is currently traveling in Europe, activated travel pass via a text message she received. Here number is (edited: customer information). She responded "Y" to the text to activate it. This was on Saturday Oct 11 (or maybe Fri 10/10 depending on time zone). A little later I got an email saying there was $146.51 in intl roaming. I quickly went online to check whether the travel pass was there. For some reason it let me add it. I got an email immediately saying travel pass was active. Why did it not activate the 1st time?

@XfinityMarcus​ She just thought Travel pass was active and started accessing her browser, maps, etc. When we got the roaming $$ alert she may have just turned OFF her cellular data for fear of more charges.
