Reinstating my cell phone account

I misplaced my phone, so I went to Comcast service office and requested that my account be suspended until I find my phone.  I found my phone within 5 hours and requested that the account be reinstated. I was told to wait 24 hours before it can be reinstated.  So today, I went back to service office so that the account can be reinstated.  After waiting online for over an hour, the person at the other end said that there was a problem and they could not reinstate my account and have no clue as to when this will be resolved

I FIND THIS KIND OF SERVICE UNACCEPTABLE!!!

I went on online to see if I could resolve this issue...all I keep getting is for them to authenticate the problem by sending me a code to the phone number that is inactive, therefore this cannot be resolved this way.

I need my phone as this is my only link to people I depend on.

SO, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  I AM NOW 24+ HOURS WITHOUT A PHONE.

HERE IS THE TICKET # FOR THIS PROBLEM:  [Edited: "Personal Information"].

Phone number: [Edited: "Personal Information"],

Primary owner: [Edited: "Personal Information"]

Hello, @user_021816 thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. I know how important it is to have access to your mobile device for important communications. I'm sorry to hear of the issues with getting the Xfinity Mobile line reinstated with both agent help and through your account: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/lost-or-stolen-phone. I'd definitely like to investigate further, and help with the restoration of the line if you're still needing assistance by sending a direct message.

Thank you, my account was reinstated after 5 days!  It seems that the Now accounts have issues, though I never found out what the issue was.  My contract with this account expires in 5 months, and I will start looking at other carriers.  Waiting that long for a resolution to a problem is unacceptable, yet I wasn't given any reason why it took the company that long to resolve it.

user_021816, I can understand your point of view, especially considering how depenedent we all are on our phones these days. I'd love to work with you more and help turn things around. With your agreement ending in 5-mo, were you referring your Mobile service or your residential service? Also, do you have NOW Mobile?
