Nomorobo and Advanced Call Forwarding

Like many prior postings here, I am unable to use Nomorobo because I need to set it up by using Advanced Call Forwarding.  But the settings page for that feature says:

Advanced Call Forwarding

Send your incoming calls to up to 5 phone numbers simultaneously.

This telephone number does not have access to Advanced Call Forwarding.

Customize your Xfinity Voice package today by calling 1-800-XFINITY.

I spent nearly 2 1/2 hours on the phone with your tech support without resolving this, plus at least 4 visits to the Xfinity store.

This is the same problem as these:

and more.

Plus this is a dead link:

People who posted in these forums have been helped on a case-by-case basis.  Surely Xfinity could fix it for all users, but it is extremely frustrating that they have not.

Please fix this for me.  I'm ready to take my VOIP business elsewhere if you can't.

It took far too long, and too much effort, but finally this was fixed.  Nobody told me what they did or found, so I have no advice for anyone experiencing the same problems.  It simply shouldn't be this difficult to get a key feature to work.

Thank you for updating the thread, user_a4me6q! We are glad things are working and appreciate the time you spent with us. We checked everything on the account and determined the problem was with the phone codes and provisioning. Our engineering team reprovisioned all the phone codes on the account so Advanced Call Forwarding settings could be updated. From there Nomorobo still had an error after it was set up. The engineering team is able to provision the account for Nomorobo and took that step next. The combination of the 2 steps resolved the issue.
