Need help getting on waitlist for tech appt - text number not working for me

I have current Xfinity service. Moving to new construction community. 40+ offers from Xfinity were waiting in my new mailbox, but the installation time is far out. There is not much to install since all the inside the walls work in already complete. We just need one cable phished through. Thanks!

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

@user_7P If you're not receiving the texts from the short codes Xfinity uses you'll want to follow these helpful steps:
- Ensure your phone number is added to your Xfinity account (via the Xfinity app or online).
- Confirm texts may come from numbers like 266-278, 1-888-936-4968, 474-84 or 1-800 numbers so can add/recognize sender IDs.
- If they’re you're getting short-code texts, check spam/filtered message settings on your device and, if needed, text START to the short code 266‑278.
