Xfinity Keeps Denying by Phone Unlock when it's paid-off and meets all criteria.

Hi,

Has anyone had major issues with having their phone unlocked? I have owned my phone outright since October 2024, I recently had a replacement with Assurant, and decided I wanted to unlock it to use it with another carrier. After 4 separate chats, and escalations with xfinity mobile, and advance mobile team, they all keep refusing to unlock my phone, because they say it's not eligible, but it clearly is. I have spent over 4-5 hours with the chat department, I can't say how frustrated I am, I am at the point of cancelling my new Z Fold 6 order due to this terrible customer service.

All I want, is my [Edited: Language] phone unlocked that I own, how hard can this be? I used to work for Xfinity, and I was never this brainless when it came to helping customers.

Day 6th of trying to unlock my phone, no success, xfinity mobile chat keeps stating the previous advisers forget to document it's a replacement phone in the ticket and keeps closing them out. I still haven't been able to unlock my phone, the Indian reps have no idea how to help, it seems like there is a gigantic communication barrier in language.

They will never unlock it. I am stuck in the same situation and I was even told no worries you phone will be unlocked in 48 hours and here we are 48 hours later and nothing. They lie to get you off the phone if that and refuse to unlock or give transfer pins so you can't leave. I suggest submitting a claim to the FCC like I did.

I have had 2 phones purchased through them that stopped working with in a year and was forced to purchase new phone in one case the manufacturer replaced the phone for a new one and Xfinity refused to activate because the software was locked, I hate this company
