Requesting IMEI Exception — Long‑Time Customer Needs Backend Provisioning Review

Hello,I’m reaching out as a long‑time Xfinity customer who would prefer to stay with your service. I recently attempted to activate my unlocked device on Xfinity Mobile, but the system is incorrectly flagging the IMEI as “not compatible.”I spent over two hours on the phone with support, but the call was disconnected before the issue was resolved. I’m requesting a manual IMEI exception and escalation to Tier 2/Tier 3 backend provisioning so the device can be whitelisted.

<Edited: "Personal Information">

I want to be clear: I value the service I’ve had with Xfinity for many years, and I would genuinely prefer to keepboth my internet and mobile lines with you. However, if my device cannot be activated due to a system error, I will have no choice but to move my internet and mobile service to another provider.I’m asking for the opportunity to stay with Xfinity by having this issue escalated to the team who handles IMEI overrides.

Thank you for your time and assistance,

<Edited: "Personal Information">

Hello @user_2fp40i what is the make and model of the phone you're looking to activate? I know you spent a lot of time on the phone, so we want to help as efficiently as possible. We need to check the IMEI compatibility here. If you have any other details that will allow us to help please let us know.  https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/byod/compatibility/imei

Thanks for responding. The IMEI checker is giving a false incompatibility result — that’s the issue. This case requires a manual IMEI exception or DMD update, which is why it was escalated through the FCC complaint. Please review the full details of the complaint instead of the IMEI checker result.”

Once a user has opened a FCC complaint @user_2fp40i, we cannot provide further assistance per our engagement policy with that specific issue. Your complaint will be handled by a separate team. You can check the status of your complaint at any time using the FCC's complaint portal. What I can do is review any updates if there is an active ticket.
