gateway

I received a text about a free gateway upgrade. Is this legitimate or a scam?

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

Hello, @user_7wmmr8 thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums, and completely understand wanting to confirm if the gateway upgrade notification is legitimate. We do have a program for equipment upgrade, and depending on your communication preference is sent out either text or email: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfi-complete-tech-upgrade

I use text notifications myself, and all my Xfinity notifications come from 266278, is the number associated with the text communication you received?
