If your Xfinity Caller ID isn't showing on your TV, the most likely reason is that the "Xfinity Voice" notification setting is turned off in your cable box settings; to fix this, navigate to Settings > Preferences > Notifications on your Xfinity remote and ensure "Xfinity Voice" is turned "ON" on your cable box.

The notifications are enabled on the TV - actually all of them are on. This started happening once the new modem was installed.

user_dce4e1 Thank you so much for reaching out for help with your TV caller ID feature not working after getting a new modem. Since you have already made sure the notification is turned on still in the TV box settings I would recommend resetting your box next. Unplugging it from the power for about 2 min and then plugging it back in to see if that will correct the issue.

Hey there @user_p521iv I hope the day has been treating you well! Thanks for taking time from your day to post your concerns here on our Xfinity Community Forum. Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with the caller ID feature. 

If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

 

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it.

Since installing a new XB8-T Gateway, my caller ID does not appear on the TV screen.  I have checked all my cable boxes, including turning the Caller ID notice off and back on.  That does not help.  I also did a System Refresh of the TV boxes.  That did not help.  I can find no settings in the Gateway, which is set for Bridge Mode.  When the new Gateway was installed, it had to be reprovisioned by Xfinity Support, including special reprovisioning of VOIP service, in order for it to work as it did not work out of the box.  How can this be fixed?

I tried sending a direct message to Xfinity Support, but no answer.

I got a snippy reply that it is against the rules to send a Direct Message unless I am invited to do so.  This forum is full of instructions for sending direct messages.  I would suggest that if Xfinity does not want direct messages unless there is a specific invitation, they should say that in all the posts inviting direct messages.  Expecting people to pour over forum rules every time they say something is a little bit unrealistic.  By the way, they still have not responded to me providing the necessary account verification instructions.

I have to say that in general, Xfinity support can be very slow and cumbesome.  It really is a chore to get a simple problem resolved.  The customer website is one of slowest and most poorly organized sites I visit.  It's authentication and access is extremely slow.  It is far worse that financial websites I visit.  If I want to just download a PDF of my monthly bill, it takes numerous clicks and waits.
