IMEI Mismatch
Hi, I am trying to activate a factory-unlocked Z Fold 4 (SM-F936U1), but your backend database has a provisioning block/IMEI mismatch from an eSIM transfer following a phone switch. The WiFi ribbon in my previous Z Fold 4 was damaged and while transferring the eSIM to my new Z Fold 4 through USB instead of WiFi, I lost Xfinity coverage on my old phone but the data did not properly transfer and needs Tier 2 level service as Tier 1 sees the phone as being locked by a different carrier, but under Software Information, the new Z Fold 4 is indeed unlocked from all carriers but does show the transfer to Xfinity indicating verification needs to be fixed on the backend at Xfinity. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @user_h6xod8! Thanks for reaching out and providing those details. Although your Z Fold 4 is unlocked, eSIM eligibility is also determined by the compatibility check for the device's specific IMEI.
That check determines whether the device supports eSIM activation with Xfinity Mobile or may require a physical SIM. You can find additional information about the activation process here.
If you're still unable to activate the device after reviewing those requirements, we'd be happy to help take a closer look. When you're ready, please send us a direct message with your full name and complete service address to "Xfinity Support".
