I have no dial tone after upgrading my modem.

After an upgrade to a new modem my phone has no dial tone.  I've tried reinstalling twice and have the phone directly plugged into the new modem.   Xfinity assistant troubleshooting suggestions have not been helpful.  What do I try next?

user_jttlz7 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. I understand how important it is to have a working phone, especially in the event of an emergency. We defintely want to ensure this concern has been 100% resolved for you. Can you share what troubleshooting steps you've taken, such as ensuring that the phone cord is plugged into TEL1 port in the back of your modem or performing troubleshooting in the Xfinity app?

@user_jttlz7​ I am having the same problem. When I got my new modem, I was told to call Xfinity to "activate" it, but as the TV and internet were working fine, I assumed that this was just for new accounts and didn't bother. I have a feeling I should have called; apparently, my phone number is still associated with my old modem! I am currently in a chat with Customer Service trying to fix this.
Update: my phone now works. Please note that the chat service likes to takes its time responding to you.
