Advanced Call Forwarding Not Included?
I am trying to set up my new phone service (recently signed up for services with Xfinity - and it's been a nightmare to put it politely).
Today, I was looking at the voice settings at https://connect.xfinity.com/voice/settings/callforwarding and when I look at the settings, it won't give me access to Advanced Call Forwarding ... is that not included by default with Voice? This is what I get instead:
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.
This is getting really ridiculous the number of problems I've had trying to get my services all set up and fully functional.
Thanks.

Hey there, here is a guide on how to activate Advanced Call Forwarding.
The Primary user must turn on Voice Permissions from the Account and Identity tab of their account for any other account user to access Advanced Call Forwarding options.
To turn on Voice Permissions:
let me know if that solves your problem for you!

Awesome! Then you can follow those instructions and you shouldn't have any issues. Let me know if you have any hiccups along the way.

Still unresolved. Multiple overseas calls and they can offer to type numbers in for me but can't figure out how to properly have the feature work on my account so I can control things myself.
I a not calling into customer service every time I need a change made to my Advanced Call Forwarding settings.
Xfinity is a complete joke. I wish FiOS was in this area, as I'd dump Comcast in a heartbeat. I had FiOS for 13 years and NEVER had all these problems. In fact, I think I had one problem in 13 years with my router finally dying - so I bought a replacement one on eBay and was good to go. I've had Xfinity services active for approximately 5 days and have had at least 10 problems so far and no one can resolve them and just passes me off saying someone will call me in 24-72 business hours from a different department.
Am I going to receive a credit for all the days I haven't had full access to the features that are to be included in my monthly payment or Voice service?
