Do not buy a phone from Xfinity. It's a scam

I bought a Google Pixel 9 pro fold that ended up with a manufacturer defect. I took the phone to Google and one of their engineers confirmed it is defective and offered to replace it with a brand new phone. All I needed was proof that I bought the phone. When I contacted customer service they told me the only way they would give me proof was if I paid off the phone in full. So pay the remaining $1600 which means I would forfeit my 20 months of remaining monthly credits as part of the deal of buying a new. Over $400 worth of credits. All I need is a copy of the receipt when I bought the phone. That simple. I spent over 14 hours contacting customer service who refused to give me any help. They told me I have to go to Assurant and use my insurance. Why would I pay a deductible and get a refurbished phone when the manufacturer admitted it's their fault and they would hand me a brand new phone on the spot. It's like they have a deal with Assurant and get some money for forcing people to file claims. Do not buy a phone from Xfinity. Go directly to the manufacturer. Xfinity will get you into a contract and then find a way to force you to pay full price. I bought a $1900 phone and can't even get a copy of my receipt. A digital copy so it wouldn't even cost them $0.01. I'm afraid if I do pay off the remaining balance they still won't provide me with proof that I own the phone.

I'm sorry you had such a frustrating experience. It sounds like you went through a lot trying to resolve the issue with your phone. Dealing with a manufacturer defect should be straightforward, especially when the manufacturer is willing to replace the device. our team would like to help.

Update on reaching out to Xfinity Support and still no help. They have to put in a ticket that could take 48 hours to get a response. So I have to sit here with a defective phone that is progressively getting worse and about to be completely unusable. They won't even transfer my phone line back to my old phone while I wait to get this issue resolved. The only solution this company has offered me is to pay the remaining $1600. They just want your money.

Update. So Xfinitys decided they would get a hold of me by trying to call a defective phone. The screen now no longer works and I can't see when someone is calling me. Since I couldn't answer the phone they just closed the ticket. I responded to their missed call emails and requested they contact me by email but they just ignored that. They won't switch my line to a old phone so I have some way to communicate. Instead they are forcing me to pay out the remaining $1600 or pay for service and a lease on a defective device for the next 20 months.

I have contacted you multiple times in the private chat and still nothing is being done. I'm still waiting on a response to my message on the private chat. I don't understand why Xfinity can't get the point. My phone is defective and the screen doesn't work. I can't see you calling the phone but yet you continue to call even after I stated that you need to email me.

Horrible customer service.  They are absolutely the worst I have ever experienced!

When customer service wants to cancel all your services that is a sign that they don't care about your business. I've never seen a company so fast to want to cancel your service. They also blamed me for the delay because I'm posting comments publicly. They messaged me on the 16th, I responded twice on the 17th and again on the 21st. XfinityAriel made a comment about me posting publicly. So as payback they will ignore you for calling them out publicly.

We’re truly sorry to hear that you feel we didn’t handle this situation correctly. However, we want to clarify a few details to ensure everything is clear.

 

At no point did we suggest canceling your services. That decision came from you, and we offered support to facilitate it based on your request. We also reached out multiple times to confirm if you received the necessary documentation via email, as the ticket we opened stated. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive a confirmation, and you declined our offer to open a new ticket to address the issue further.

 

Our goal has always been to assist you, and that remains the case. If you change your mind or would like further support, we are here and ready to help.

 

Thank you for sharing your concerns, and we truly hope to resolve this to your satisfaction.
