1. Sign in to your Xfinity Mobile account online and go to the Devices tab.
2. Select the device associated with the mobile number you want to transfer.
3. Scroll down to Transfer your number, cancel this line and select Learn More.
4. Choose the active line and send a one-time passcode (OTP) to that line.
Enter the OTP and select Confirm Code.
5. Send yourself a text message with the security PIN, which expires in 24 hours.

I made an appointment to upgrade my phone at an Xfinity store but they cancelled my reservation for no reason.

Time for a new provider.

I'm trying to get my security pin to transfer my number through the app but the portion where I get the pin won't load.

I go into another Xfinity store to get the pin but they say they can't give that out at the store level, tells me to call 611.

I call 611 and after holding for 15 minutes customer support she tells me to delete and redownload the app and try it again.

Of course that doesn't work, she tells me i have to go into the store to get my pin.

I'd really like to keep my number that I've had for the last 20 years but Xfinity is holding it hostage.

How do we get a class action lawsuit started against these criminals? Any lawyers reading this let me know.

Before any Xfinity employees reply to this with step by step instructions don't bother, this company is just like those instructions, they don't work.

user_dgktee I am sorry to hear you are having issues with getting your PIN. The transfer PIN or port-out PIN is something we limit access to in order to prevent unauthorized port-out requests. That is why the Xfinity app is where the option is available, so normally there is no need for you to even have to speak to us to retrieve it. If you check out the steps DreamSayerZ provided above, can you tell me which step of the process you are getting stuck at?

@XfinityAmandaB​ for me there’s no “devices” tab anywhere. I have gone to every option available and can only find moving my service to another home as if I’m moving. Well, to another service yes, but I don’t understand where this magical devices with the port out pin option

When you are in the Xfinity App. At the bottom of the screen, you should have a Services Tab. Then you scroll down, and you should have a Mobile heading. Under Mobile you should see Mobile Lines and data usage. Next you would select the device you intend to transfer. Towards the bottom of the screen after selecting the device, there is a transfer or cancel line option. You would select that.

Good afternoon joellencaudill. You can access the Transfer Pin within the Xfinity App. When you are in the Xfinity App. At the bottom of the screen, you should have a Services Tab. Then you scroll down, and you should have a Mobile heading. Under Mobile you should see Mobile Lines and data usage. Next you would select the device you intend to transfer. Towards the bottom of the screen after selecting the device, there is a transfer or cancel line option. You would select that, and then you would see the option to view Transfer Pin. Please let us know if this helps.

I have close my account with xfinity due to the fact i have to contact them every month about a $29.16 credit on my daughter phone. A $700 credit was approved for my daughter phone. This have been going on since April 2025 and it is December 2025 and my account is still not corrected. So i got feed up with the long many hours on the phone each and every month. I call December 3,2025 and told xfinity to  close my account. I ask the agent how much will cost me to close the account and he said $800.09 this is the balance of my daughter phone at retail price. So i ask the agent what about my trade in of $700. Agent told me i lose that amount because i got out contract early. I told the agent i'm getting out contact because  Xfinity refuse to correct my account. They still refuse the fact that they are the one who refuse to honor the contact. So after paying off the account....you talk about pouring salt on the wound. I requested a transfer/port out pin# and a esim restriction taken off my daughter phone so we can go about our lives.
