Xfinity Mobile, Can’t return defective phone!

I got a defective iPhone 17 where the side button wasn’t working. They gave me a replacement but said we’d need to add a new number or something. Now every time I ask for a shipping label they try to sell me some new internet plan or give me a new watch and I get told the label will be emailed in 5 days. I haven’t received anything and now my account shows 3 phones and a new number with a bill coming for over 250$. This is insane. I want to ship the defective phone back and have the new number removed from my account which should not be that hard to do.

I am incredibly sorry for this experience, that sounds beyond frustrating @Banjoben. That is absolutely not the experience we want for you. To confirm, was this a replacement device ordered with Xfinity Mobile Care?

I am not sure, I did it all through xfinity chat and then someone called my wife to say that once the new phone came they would call her again to get everything handled, but that call never came
