Free phone line being charged every month

Hello, I joined xfinity with 2024 BlackFriday deal - Internet connection with a free phone line but I am being charged every month for the phone line. To me, this goes against the free line for a year deal. Can you please look into my account to see what is going on?

 I was sold a "free line" for 1 year back in April as well. Xfinity had a very difficult time getting my phone number from Ooma and the line did not activate until June 3rd which I found out when I called because I had been charged $44 in May. Nobody communicated that the line was finally activated and I would not have known if I hadn't called. I was then told that the $44 was a $25 activation fee and the balance was the phone charge. When I decided to take the free line I was told the only charge was the tax on the phone which I paid upfront, the person I was dealing with said I would not see another bill for a year and I could cancel then if I wanted. All sounded great, but apparently not true. When I called about the $44 I spoke to a "supervisor" that told me that I signed an agreement for the activation and phone fee which I do not remember doing. She said the monthly charges moving forward would be $14/mo. to cover the cost of the phone but the line itself is free. I told her that was absolutely never mentioned to me. She said she would email me the agreement that I signed and I have still not seen it. I also asked if the $14 goes away when I cancel and she said no, I would being paying for the phone for another year even without the line. Does that make sense to anyone? Such deception! Has anyone else had this experience? I'm guessing yes.

Hi there, @user_eb92ej! I'm sorry to hear that you had a poor experience signing up! If the device was not purchased in full, the taxes would be due up front, then there would still be the amount for the device itself that is owed until paid in full either monthly, or quicker if you chose to. This is standard. The only exception would be if you paid for the device outright or if you brought your own device. Let me know if you have any additional questions!
