Can’t Access New Internet Plan

Returned Comcast Modem to replace it with a purchased Cable Modem Router. Xfinity rep changed my plan to account for this while adding a code for me living in the same place for the next six years. 

My auto payment method was deactivated. They said I had to re-add my payment method. Went to add a payment method and the app says I don’t have access to that. I am the only person on this account. If I don’t have access then no one does. Made a one time payment ahead of time and that worked. Auto-pay shows as activated in settings, but under bills it shows as deactivated. 

When I try to activate my Cable Modem Router the app asks me to activate a plan. The rep at Xfinity already activated the new plan, so I don’t understand why it isn’t updating my account info except to show the old plan was deactivated. So now I paid early for my existing plan which is now failing to provide any service, and the new plan is not showing up at all. 

Yes I tried restarting the app multiple times. Signed out completely several times. Yes I called the customer service lines with their useless bot. Comcast is the only ISP I have ever used. I need an actual human being to help solve these problems.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

I went into the Xfinity location where they manually added the modem router to my account. The app still wasn’t permitting me access to add a device or add a form of payment. We ensured that both my phone, and the app, were updated. We tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app with no luck.

The work around was weirdly to have someone else install the app on their phone, which the Xfinity employees suggested trying. I was able to access my account through their device and successfully setup my modem router. As of today I now seem to have restored access via the app on my phone. perhaps it was a temporary bug with the app. If Xfinity would still like my information to sort out how the issue occurred please let me know. Thank you for your attention and your willingness to assist.

Sachairi96 Thanks for sharing that weird situation with the app, and happy to hear everything is fine now. No need to send any information about your account as this is likely an app bug which wouldn't be account specific. I'll send your feedback to our app team though to have them look into it. There may be other reports of the problem already, and they are already working on it. Can you tell me what phone you were using though that had the issue? That may be helpful to them.
