Receiving Text Messages Constantly; Return UNUSED Equipment

I am at my wit's end.  How do I stop these text messages:

Hi, Xfinity here.  Please return your UNUSED Xfinity equipment.  This will reduce your monthly bill and protect the environment.

I canceled TV service in November 2025, I returned all of the TV boxes and remotes that I had.  I kept the Internet service, and have an Xfinity-issued XB8 modem.  That is the only equipment I have and it's kind of still needed.

Please make the insanity stop.

Good morning @ghatchew, and thanks for posting your issue to the Xfinity forums, I hope this message finds you well. I am sorry to hear that you are getting messages on the account that say you have unreturned equipment, I know that can be frustrating, but you have come to the right place for assistance. Have you had a chance to check the Xfinity app and see if there is equipment on the account that you no longer have?

I have.  Nothing is listed under TV and Streaming.  Only the Xfinity Gateway device is listed under Internet, but that should be there.
