I need to have my new model model xb8-t voice port acivated, so that my land line phones will get a dial tone.

I need to have my new xb8-t modem's TEL1 port activated so that I can get voice service.  No light on this port right now.  Tried rebooting modem.  No luck.

I need contact info for an Xfinity tech to get this resolved.

Thank you for the update, @user_JBS82 ! I'm glad to hear the issue has been resolved. I do apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced. I completely understand your concern, especially since it took a support agent and a technician working together to identify that the voice port needed to be activated. Your feedback is valuable, and I can certainly see why you would expect replacement gateways to arrive fully configured and ready to support all subscribed services. I'm happy to hear everything is now working properly. Is there anything else I can assist you with regarding your account or services today? 😊💙

Good Morning, @user_JBS82 I’m so sorry for the frustration you’ve been dealing with, that’s definitely not the experience you should have, especially when you’re trying to get your voice service up and running on a brand-new modem. I appreciate you sharing those details about the TEL1 port and the steps you’ve already tried. Since it’s been a few days, I wanted to check in, are you still having trouble getting a dial tone on your Xfinity Voice service? If so, let’s take a closer look together and make sure that port gets properly activated so everything is working the way it should. I’ve got your back on this! 💙

Issue resolved. Had to contact tech support to get voice port activated. Took one agent and one tech over one hour to figure out. Gateway should be delivered with proper configuration set up.
