Xfinity won’t unlock phone!!!

I’ve been waiting three days for my parent’s phones to be unlocked!!!  This is outrageous!!!! Our case # is [Edited: "Personal Information"] and they keep telling us 2 hours it will be unlocked. It’s been 3 days!!! No one will help us. The attitude is ‘get in line’. That’s is unacceptable!! Both phones are paid off and we pay our bill timely. We simply switched to another carrier, but Xfinity won’t unlock the phones so we can have service with the new carrier. It’s been a nightmare!!! Please help!!

I just did that. Please help. I’ve been se ding this information so many times and then nothing happens. I just can’t understand how no one there has the ability to unlock a phone that clearly meets all of the requirements to be unlocked!! No one is helping me!

Also, why is your team limited on accessing Mobile Accounts, when I am in ‘Xfinity Mobile’ support chat. This is exactly what keeps happening- I get bumped from person to person to chat to direct message, yet nothing is done. It’s such an urgent situation for my parents. I’m so upset.

I am having the same problem and the phone is already ported to a new carrier. I keep getting the same messaging from agents about it being unlocked on their end and after talking to four agents had the issue escalated but then was told to wait longer. Paid it off nearly a week ago. The 24-48 hours is a lie on their website. They should honestly be sued for false advertisement. You can't say devices will be unlocked 24-48 hours after being paid off and then not unlock it for days or weeks.
