To get your Xfinity Mobile transfer (port-out) PIN, log in to your account online or through the Xfinity App and request a security code via text.
Steps to Get Your Transfer PIN
  • Go to Devices: Navigate to the Devices tab and select the specific phone number or line you want to transfer.
  • Select Transfer Option: Scroll down to find "Transfer your number, cancel this line" and click Learn More.
  • Verify via OTP: Choose the option to send a one-time passcode (OTP) to your active line, then enter and confirm the code.
  • Receive PIN: Xfinity will text your 6-digit security transfer PIN to your phone.

Hello @user_6dmln9, thank you for taking the time to leave a post. Sorry to hear you're having trouble obtaining your transfer PIN. I can certainly understand how frustrating that must be, especially when you're located several hours away from the nearest Xfinity Store and are trying to complete your transfer remotely. Were you able to get assistance with getting your transfer PIN? 
Thank you, @DreamSayerZ, for providing the steps.

I have the same problem.  requested transfer pin 4 times through app, mobile browser, desktop browser, went to a physical store and they had me talk to someone over videochat to fix this and still no pin number.  called customer support, they said nothing they can do.  so what next???? looks like i'll just have to stay on xfinity wireless forever?  FCC has rules about not porting numbers over.  I'll contact them next and see where that goes

@user_46dvqg​ Gonna one up ya

No pin via SMS, phone is to old for the app, called CS who told me to go to a store, got kicked out of the store for "being aggressive" after asking for my pin. Went to another store just to be told to use the request via SMS feature.

Even after getting a new phone the feature doesnt seem to exist in the app. If it gets to the point where my monthly bill comes up, Id just rather not pay it and deal with a new number rather than giving these people another cent.

I was reading that other services can request the port out pin on your behalf. Or there is a legal request you can make via FCC.

@user_46dvqg @user_6dmln9  Have you tried requesting the pin from the Xfinity Mobile site with a web browser? Try on a computer, not your phone. https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/my-account/devices

Select Manage Device in the box listing your phone. Scroll down to Transfer your number, cancel this line.

I just tested this and it worked no problem. I received a text with PIN on my cell phone.

@DreamSayerZ​ Yep, three times. Still haven't got it. Checked spam and any other filter it might have fallen into, nothing.

@user_5kd9sn​ Hmm.. I received a text with a PIN and also a confirmation email sent to my default address on file. You are logging in as the primary account holder on the account?
