Scammed with Xfinity Mobile
I am writing to clarify my dispute request regarding the overcharges on my previous Xfinity mobile account. In February 2023, an Xfinity associate advised me to open a new mobile account for $15 a month, which would help me save on my total internet monthly bill. I followed the advice and opened the new account.
However, after a few months, I was surprised to discover that I was being charged over $400 per month instead of the expected $15. Xfinity claimed that I had used data over the limit, but this was a scam. Firstly, the associate had told me that I would pay only $15 a month for 1 GB, after which the internet would slow down. Secondly, I had another SIM card on my phone with unlimited data from T-Mobile, so there was no need for me to use Xfinity internet if I had unlimited data already.
I contacted Xfinity multiple times to resolve this issue, but they did nothing. One time, their manager said he opened a ticket to solve the problem, another time they said they had no authority, and yet another time they said they would remove the charges but never did. Although my bank disputed these charges and refunded me part of the amount, Xfinity is still insisting on these unjustified charges ($897.28).
Xfinity has wasted my time and caused me a great deal of stress, and they have damaged my credit reputation by sending charges to credit collectors. I demand that they stop these harms and compensate me for this scam.

OMG thank you so much! This is the confirmation that I may need to cancel before my first bill, and will spread the word that Xfinity Mobile, actually Xfinity period, is a Scam. It's 2024, I asked for 5 unlimited lines, but keep receiving notifications about our data usage likes it's 2009. The worst part is their so predatory and have monopolized in my neighborhood that we can't get anybody else to come and service us.
On top of that that when asked why am I receiving notification about data when I have unlimited. I was told to connect to Xfinity WiFi, again, like I did in the McDonald in High School.... in 2010, like the service would be equivalent to data when in realty it seems as if it hasn't gotten any better since 2010. When realistically Xfinity Wifi Hotspots DO NOT WORK until your on the phone with their technical support, but will be 1G network like pixels. As a complimentary inconvenience from Xfinity, please do not use when driving with GPS it will cause an accident due to the 1G, and waste your time turning off the wifi whenever you need actual service.
SMH I feel so finessed. IDK why I keep trying to work with big name companies that overcharge and don't care. IDK why I do when I had Metro PCS, Cricket, or Boost, and never had issues with them they use the same towers anyway. It seems like those company offer the standard packages while Xfinity breaks that package into 4, then up charge like they did back we used to pay for minutes and data. So we are just paying for the name and poor quality service.
So, now in 2024 we are forced to pay by the GB like it's the early 2010s. Just so that they can penny pinch as much as they can from us. I'm trying to hard to remain confident and listen to my local rep and wait and see how the first bill looks but I have a bad feeling. I told her before leaving Verizon that I don't have time for the bill to magically has all these fee fees after the 1st year, and was told it wouldn't.
I am to the point where I'm going to try the Wifi they sell in a box at Walmart *laughing emoji* or make my own DIY (w.e. that means)

I signed up a week ago. I've gotten a notification for over 30 gigs of data used! I'm on the unlimited plan now, my data wasn't reset from my old service with metro that uses T mobile towers. I'm waiting on am email. It's 2024! U don't charge by the gig like it's 2008. Or prey on people with this scam. Xfinity should be ashamed of themselves.

Something very wrong with "over data usage" on one of our cell phone lines for recent bill. I discussed with Xfinity for a long time and they made a credit to the bill which I appreciate. However, it is still very strange that we owe extra money. Xfinity says we have to turn off our mobile data when we are in Wifi or the data will go up. We have had these phones for over 2 years and have not had to do that. Why now? Our understanding is that it is supposed to switch to Wifi automatically. Very strange. Also, never saw an email which Xfinity says they sent to warn of over data usage. Don't understand not seeing the email either. Thinking it isn't a good fit for us anymore.

I had the similar issue with Xfinity Mobile. They used the 3 identical fake number (999)999-9999 to charge us over $1,400 and made many excuses to refund in full amount after we called them many times.

I recently experienced a similar situation and wish I had been aware of this information prior to enrolling in the plan. As a result, I may consider switching service providers.lossing loyal costumers for nickel and dime

Yep been an Xfinity mobile customer for over half a decade. Just got a $500 month charge out of nowhere, they said there was nothing they could do. Would never recommend it now.

OP, this is exactly what happened to me. They have told me countless times that the FRAUDULENT activity would stop, and yet they continue to charge me. As a brand new customer, since my onboarding call, I have dealt with false advertising via the mobile sales team from that call and consistent malicious incompetence by the Xfinity mobile customer service team. They now are telling me I have to pay for the phone they force fed me with lies and won't let me return. I could go on and on about it, but it only gets worse the more you try to advocate for yourself. God forbid I was struggling financially. The damage they're doing can't be overstated. They are EASILY the worst customer service of any company I've ever dealt with. A gang of scammers with disgustingly misplaced incentives and morals. Don't bother responding to this suggesting I open a ticket, because I've opened SO MANY, and they ONLY LEAD TO FALSE HOPE. I genuinely believe Xfinity tries to exhaust their victims into accepting the fraud.

new Xfinity fraud.
After agreeing to switch my Google.fi number to Xfinity, I received a phone but was given a new number by default. I messaged my account number and pin to customer service, but it took more than 10 days. When I attempted to transfer the number today (6/8/2014), the agent informed me that I may cancel the number that had already been issued to the devices. I accepted, then they cancelled, and now they're misleading me because, according to the agreement, they issued the number by default, and there's no way I can swap. To change my number, I now have to pay the entire fee for the device.
policy :-
"If line is canceled, voluntarily or involuntarily or device payments are accelerated, balance of credits associated with device payment are forfeited. Offer not valid with prior purchases, returns or exchanges. May not be combinable with some other offers." by default they provided the number no way i can switch? to change my number i should cancel the existing connection "

I am struggling with the same issues. This is a scam. I have a google phone I bought on a promotion in February and the phone cuts off my service at the beginning of every month. Xfinity finally told me the phone is defective after calling and spending over 30 hours on the phone with xfinity over 3 months. No one can tell me how to get the broken new phone replaced through manufacturer warranty. So now I’m stuck with a broken $600 phone and can’t leave Xfinity mobile. I am disabled and it is very dangerous for my service to be cut off every month randomly. My bill is paid on auto pay so the cut off is not bill related. If I get the google phone repaired I will have to carry around 2 phones for the next 18 months because they scrambled the SIM cards and I don’t want to lose my original number. This has been a nightmare. This is clearly a scam. Customer service and managers have not been able to do anything yet I’m still stuck under contract with this company for 18 months more.

Same thing happens to me, the agent would advise for me to get the mobile plan to save moneys on the wifi plan but the darn thing overcharge me because of the 1GB limit. I got charge around 70$-90$ a month for 4 months for something I don't even use often. The agent explain these consequences or downplay it poorly.

I Was charged over $1729.00 for XFinity Mobile services , and I’m not even an xfinity mobile customer, they cannot find anything in my internet account where I signed up for any services, but the bank statement clearly says XFinity Mobile 1888***-****, PA . I never authorized the charge or gave them any card #, what do I do? My bank says contact XFinity, XFinity says contact your bank, etc, etc.. it’s very frustrating and that’s a a lot of money.
