Xfinity Mobile Contract Buyout
I recently switched to Xfinity Mobile from Verizon because the representative told me that Xfinity would cover the full cost of my Verizon contract with no action needed on my end. This along with $0 a month for a year was a very attractive offer that turned out too good to be true. I was surprised weeks later to get a bill from Verizon (~$750) as I was told Xfinity would take care of everything. After calling customer service I was told they would send me a mobile gift card to cover the full cost in 7-10 business days. When I didn't receive the gift card I called back again, only this time I was told I had to submit an actual bill from Verizon. After I then submitted the Verizon bill through the appropriate channels with Xfinity, which was hard to obtain because my account was closed due to moving to Xfinity, my submission for reimbursement was denied due to exceeding the 30-day threshold. I feel like I was lied to by the Xfinity rep that sold me the mobile service and strung along until after the 30-day period so I wouldn't receive the reimbursement I was promised. Every time I call customer service, I'm either hung up on or transferred to the Rewards & Promotions number which is just an automated system. As a lifelong Xfinity customer this may be the final straw to move both my cable and mobile service. This also feels like an unfair and deceptive business practice.

This is the worse customer service I have experienced in my lifetime with a cell carrier.

After reading through all the complaints on this thread about the buy out process and knowing there are plenty more people who have experienced the same issues, including myself, it the VERY CLEAR that this is a predatory practice that Xfinity sales department, customer service reps and supervisors all participate in. It’s incredibly unethical to intentionally and negligently deceive consumers and I would highly recommend and encourage potential customers to stay away from doing business with Xfinity. It cost me $960 to Verizon and hours to repeating my experiences to multiple reps and supervisors at Xfinity. All I got was multiple apologies that do absolutely nothing to solve the $960 bill I Incurred for being lied to. Buyer beware you will be lied to and yes the calls are recorded and Xfinity DOES NOT CARE OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES!

Omgeee im in the same situation. I switched with xfinity to help pay off my son's phone. It's been 90 days and still don't have nothing. I sent bill and then all I got was an 2 different submission numbers that say check back in 2 weeks. I chatted with a rep n was told I would have within 7 days from jun 29th. We'll its now September. I'm stuck with a $449 device bill that i was lied to by several reps. [Edited: Language]
