Number transfer just got a disaster!

I am not sure where to start but I can ensure that last 2 weeks became really terrible for me.

on 18th November I decided to transfer my number from AT&T to Xfinity because I use Xfinity wifi at home and to bundle them gives me discount. I went to Xfinity store and applied for transfer. The teammate from Xfinity completed my application and I started to use Xfinity mobile with eSim. All went well and I left the store.

Here the trouble starts...

Half an hour later I only saw SOS on the screen and I tried to restart the phone but nothing changed. It was already 7:30 PM and store was closed. So I went to store next day for support. They told me that there was a error at the transfer and they will create a ticket, solution would take around 72 hours. I have to point out that I am new in the city and I need internet connection to use navigation and else, so this was not possible for 3 days...

3 days later (Nov 21st) I was at the store again, no solution. They told me that the ticket was not correct and now it will be corrected, I need to wait 72 hours more. I requested them to give me a temporary phone number which I can use during this time. They told that it is not possible because my phone IMEI is now blocked for transfer number and they can not define a new number. So a teammate at Xfinity store got his personal phone, define its IMEI and gave me a temporary number (not the device). I started to wait again..

On Nov 26th I got a call from the store that I should not use the device I have because the sim card on in it would cause problems for activation. So they told me to come to the shop and buy a temporary phone. They also mentioned that I have to bring it back in 14 days (they thought problem will be solved in 14 days, how nice..). I picked an iPhone 14 and paid the tax, they defined the new number to new phone. Suddenly I had 3 phone lines (no idea where the 3rd line came from) and 2 phones. So in summary I had my original line which can not be activated, one temporary line which is active and 3rd line which I can only see the number on my account. I had my own device and temporary device. Finally they said that it will take 2 to 5 days to activate my original number.

During the week I continuously contacted the shop to ask the status, they mentioned that they are in contact with the Tier 3 and no updates. Finally on 2nd December (5th day) I went to the shop, they said a lot of updates happened and my line should be active until 8 PM. Of course it was not activated. Has been already more than 2 weeks and my line was not activated. 

I texted them with all my anger because it was enough waiting, I also told that I will sue them (my bad) if they don't solve my problem. It was only because I was tired of waiting and pissed off because of this more than 2 weeks of waiting without solution. I got no answer from them.

On Saturday (3rd Dec) I called the call center a few times, they tried to transfer my number 2 more times and expected me to wait 72 hours more. I said no, no more waiting, I said please cancel all my mobile lines and let me go to another service provider. They said it is not possible because they can not give me a transfer pin. 

On 4th Dec I went to the store again, they said that because of I told that I ll sue them (again my bad out of anger), they can not help me anymore, I need to talk to legal department. I requested them to cancel my lines and take the temporary phone back. The guy said he can not even open my account... So I had to leave the store...

I called the call center again and requested them to cancel my mobile lines, they created a return request and FedEx number that I can return the iPhone 14. So I sent it back, also requested my original numbers transfer pin but person told me that phone line seems still at AT&T?!?! So I was waiting for more than 2 weeks and still at AT&T??? 

I went to AT&T yo get my number back but they needed the transfer pin which I don't have and can't get from Xfinity. So finally it is seen that my number is now lost....

On end of 2 weeks I got a complete new number from AT&T. 

Now I have 3 phone lines from Xfinity, 1 line from AT&T, 1 device and a lot of anger with me. Still waiting for Xfinity to cancel my lines and got no feedback... 

Interesting point is, a few times call center told me that they will call me back for updates, never got a call from them.

I have lost a lot of time, I lost my communication, stressful times and no solution from Xfinity...

@XfinityAnna funny to hear that you have a mobile team. If you check the records you will see how many times I called the call center and how many escalations are created. You simply have no solution for this case... Just accept it...

I am very sorry, we do not have access to the mobile systems, and we would not be able to check this. I am truly sorry that we are not able to assist you with this. It is one of the very few things we are not able to do over this platform. How are the rest of your services doing?

Being sorry is not helping me.. you have the ability to contact who can access the mobile system. You can solve a problem ONLY if you want to solve the problem, so please stop saying you are sorry and just consider how you fix it...
