Porting number

Xfinity Mobile generated a valid transfer PIN for my mobile numbers on Friday, which I provided to Verizon. Verizon submitted the port request, but Xfinity failed to release the numbers.

Since then, Xfinity has refused to generate a new transfer PIN or manually release the numbers, incorrectly claiming a past-due balance. The balance is disputed and unrelated.

Xfinity representatives repeatedly hang up instead of escalating to the port-out or number portability team. This is preventing me from transferring my phone numbers and constitutes an improper refusal to port. I’ve been on the phone trying to contact them since 2pm today and it is now going on 7:16pm on going.

Hello I am having a problem getting my number ported from Consumer Cellular. I followed the setup instructions during setup of my new Xfinity Device (iPhone 15 Pro Max) I received the transfer pin from Consumer Cellular with all the account information and included that it started processing then I got an oops error which was only for not submitting the last four of my zip code corrected it and resubmitted, I am still waiting for my number to transfer to my new Xfinity Mobile Phone.  the setup is still showing "In Progress" is there something missing that it's taking this long to get my phone number transfer to my Xfinity Mobile Phone?

hab57 We know how stressful it is to be stuck waiting when you’re trying to get your number up and running, especially after doing everything right during setup. You did the correct steps by getting the transfer PIN and resubmitting the request once the ZIP code was corrected.
