Planning to open an account for moving

Hi, I'm currently planning to move and open a new account on 8/9. 

I've created an account, but in the app, I cannot login until I have an internet set up.

However, https://xfinity.com/moving link does not work - and it does not let me do anything when I login to xfinity.

What should I do?

Good morning user_q8dj6w. Congratulations on your new home! I'm sure this is an exciting time I'm sorry that the system is not allowing you to log into your account now. There are some great benefits with your Xfinity ID before your services are installed, so you should be able to access your account. My favorite is the ability to access our Wi-Fi hotspots while on the go. It saves data on my phone and lets the kids play some games while we are traveling. 

When you set up the account did you receive an email confirming the order? I have seen cases where an account was set up, but it failed on the backend due to services already being active at a location and that is when the order confirmation email is not received.

@XfinityPaula​ Hello Paula, thank you for the prompt response. 

When I set up the account, I did not get to a point to order - I wanted to see if I could choose the date for the start of the service before I confirmed the order.

That being said, I was not able to choose the date and ended up just creating the account without any service -> hence not letting me take any actions properly on the website nor the app. 

I get this https://www.xfinity.com/error/buy/sorry?errorCode=move-error error when I login and click on the "Move" button. 

One weird thing I also noticed is that I do not know if I'm logged in or not,

it acts as if it is constantly logging me out when I try. (the profile icon on right top corner shows the profile icon when I login and then switches back to "Sign In" within 2-3 seconds)

Thank you user_q8dj6w! I greatly appreciate your effort and love that you are looking to Xfinity for your new home.

I have a feeling that there's information being cached on the website that is causing the error for us. It could also be that the account did not fully complete since the order was not processed due to the date not being available. We are a month out, so that should not prevent us from scheduling the installation or account activation. 

 

Would you be able to try accessing xfinity.com/moving via a private or incognito browser? 

 

If that is still an issue or you aren't able to test it, no problem. Send us a direct message with your name, email address and the address of your new home. We will help out and make sure we have this squared away and one more thing off your plate.
