Unlimited Data option Temporarily Unavailable?

I've been going over my 1.2 TB usage plan and getting emails from Comcast about it and suggesting I sign up for their $30 unlimited option. However, whenever I try it says the plan is temporarily unavailable.

 

I've seen posts by @ComcastJoe saying to PM him but I can't figure out how to private message someone (I don't see any options for that on his info page).

 

So either help on how to PM or help getting signed up for unlimited would be greatly appreciated as I forsee going over my limit for the forseeable future and really don't want to get hit with an additional $100/mo bill!


Cheers,
Kevin

Exact same problem.  It's apparently been this way for months, judging from a quick search.

 

Just looking to add the $30/month unlimited data option.

 

@ComcastJoeTru can you please help?

I've also got the same issue, would greatly appreciate some help with this! Just changed my plan to higher speeds, my Unlimited Data add-on was removed from my account during that change (not by me), and now it says the service is Temporarily Unavailable for purchase. I'd very much like to keep paying monthly for unlimited. 

@ComcastJoe Any fix for this?

Your issue has been escalated to the Comcast Corporate Team available to the Forums.  A member of that team will reply to your post as quickly as they are able, so check back often.
 
In the meantime, please do not send a PM to an Official Employee unless requested because it is against the Forum Guidelines and the Acceptable Use Policy.

Tried that. No luck. Verified my account from the email link. Even tried toggling the opt-out of DM option in my profile settings, but it seems like my account still isn't allowing DMs.

Hello, @, how is your Friday going? I hope all is well and you have some fun things planned for this weekend! Sorry about the trouble trying to get unlimited data added. That is weird you're getting the "Temporarily Unavailable" message. A few things come to mind. One, maybe there's a system issue causing a headache or maybe your market is not charging for data usage currently. If you can send a private message with your name and service address I can help. Click on the little chat message bubble icon in the upper right and send a private chat to "Xfinity Support." I promise we will get this all worked out :)

I am also getting this error message. From various other comments throughout the forum, it seems to be an issue which needs to be fixed on your side. <shrug>

I have joined the forums, I have clicked on your profile, but I see no "Send Message" available. Do you need to respond to me before that option appears?

I too want unlimited data.

I apologize for any confusion, we would need for you to send a message to our 'Xfinity Support" handle, not our individual usernames. This can be done through the chat feature at the top of the page. Here are the steps to follow: 

 

1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon. Click this "Peer to peer chat" icon or follow  https://comca.st/33K74s5
2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)
4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond.

I no longer work for Comcast.

I had this issue a few months ago and, after dealing with phone support, got them to add it.  It showed up as xfi complete along with tv service which is not something I wanted.  However, I accepted it because at least the unlimited data plan was finally there and everything seemed fine until yesterday when I received an e-mail notifying me that I was near the 1.2 TB cap.  I checked my services and sure enough the tv/xfi complete service was gone without any notice to myself. 

Once again, I tried to add the data plan through the website only to find the same temporarily unavailable error from before.  Am I going to have to call customer service every other month to maintain the unlimited data plan I should be able to simply add to my service without all this hassle?

It seems that Comcast is less interested when I'm trying to give them money for the service I want and is much more interested in stealing it from me with overage charges.
