Bate and Switch/Xfinity Mobiler

Warning to seniors:  On 2/10/2025 I called Xfinity to add the Altitude channel to my line-up.  When that was complete, the customer rep said she noticed I was an Xfinity “Diamond” member.  She offered to replace my old 4G cellphone with a free new 5G cellphone for approx. $3.50 a month.  I questioned the amount, but she said it was because I was a Diamond member.  I received the new phone without a SIM card or charger.  I bought a new charger from Amazon.  I called customer service on 2/19/2025 because my future bill indicated a charge for two lines.  They told me that I had to get a new cellphone #.  I have only one cellphone, not two.  Now I have to return the cellphone to an Xfinity store or be charged for the new phone and another line.  I’ll have to return the charger to Amazon.  They said I signed for the new cellphone which is correct based on an offer of a new free faster cellphone.  I’m waiting for a call from a supervisor.  What an inconvenience!

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, user_eoaiut. This is not the experience we would like you to have. And we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Were you able to get the issue fully resolved at the store? Or is that what the supervisor call is about? We can help report the agents on our end as well. Did you report them already?

@user_eoaiut​ A supervisor called back and offered a refund on my next cell bill ($24).  I appreciate it but will still have to return the inexpensive phone to a store.  The charger will have to be returned to Amazon.  She would not send a follow-up email verifying our conversation.  I have a home phone, cell, TV and internet all with Xfinity.  Keep asking questions if something doesn’t sound right.  You may be talking to a new representative.  I’m still very unhappy about the inconvenience.

The new cellphone was returned to Xfinity.  I received an email that the phone passed inspection and a refund would ensue.  That didn’t happen.  My credit card was charged a $35 restocking fee.  I had to call customer service again.  

Charm in customer service took ownership and immediately took steps to remove the charge.  She made sure it was resolved.  Credit appeared on my card the same day.  She’ll went the extra mile.  She was professional and polite.
