Activation

Can I turn on and setup a new phone, from Xfinity,  BEFORE I activate it?

That's a great question @davidotto2! Yes, you absolutely can! You are welcome to turn on your new device and complete the initial setup—like connecting to Wi-Fi, signing in to your Apple or Google ID, and transferring your personal data before you officially activate your Xfinity Mobile service. However, it is recommended to keep the phone off initially and follow the instructions in the quick start guide for activation. While you can unbox and familiarize yourself with the device, the activation process is necessary to fully utilize the phone's features and services.
