Hi 

  Am on call with the number you shared for the past 6 hours and still issue is not resolved..it's been with multiple agents and yet no one resolves the issue..even tried charting on the Xfinity app and they just disconnect and another agent comes and start over..this is so frustrating..just activating a standalone line on a [Edited: "Profanity"] smart watch should not be this difficult...this is really really so frustrating...worse part is the customer service don't even know what's happening..Everytime I have to start over and every single [Edited: "Profanity"] time I am told notes is updated on the account..you guys got to get your act together..can you share some contact who can actually act on this and resolve the issue...

I was told today that xfinity(online service) is basically lying to its customers, that even with a designated line the watch still can't be used as a stand alone. I've called multiple times they keep doing trouble shooting, even got a phone number for the watch and still nothing. They actually told me I was going to have to go in there store they have more options then they do over the phone.  I go to the store and was told they cannot be used as a stand alone.  So yeah not happy at the moment.
