Maximum number of attempts

I don’t realize my number lock was on so when I went to activate my new phone in the app it wouldn’t activate. It now says I have reached the maximum number of attempts. Chat says I have to go to a store but there isn’t one close to me, open past my working hours and I’m leaving town Friday. 

Someone help!

I can definitely understand the frustration if you are running into errors activating a new phone. Just to clarify, was this an existing line with Xfinity Mobile, or was it a port in from another carrier that had the number locked?
