Msg = Message From Phone Co

After installing new "white" modem, discovered bug whereby the user ability to increase the Xfinity voice rings-before-message-pickup no longer worked. Had set Xfinity ring message pickup number to 9 and my wireless phone message pickup number to 4. This worked on the old modem and meant that, after 4 rings, incoming call messages would go to my wireless system. After new modem install, after 4 rings, ALL calls were routed to the Xfinity's message system. To stop the madness, I called a rep and had the Xfinity message system turned OFF. This solved the problem BUT now I continue to get a "Message From Phone Co." notification. Yes, this can be shut off by pressing/holding the # sign, BUT the message comes back. In the past, this message had occurred a few times under the old modem when mysteriously, some messages slipped through the wireless 4 ring gate and ended up in the Xfinity message system. Because, on the old modem, I still had the Xfinity voice message turned ON. I was able to access the slipped through message and subsequently delete it. And, ah-ha, no more "Message From Phone Co." notifications! Since, under the new modem, it was necessary to turn the Xfinity message system OFF, I no longer have access, or the ability to get to what I'm sure is a rogue, slipped through message on the Xfinity message system. And so, the "Message From Phone Co." notifications continue as well as the required #sign turn-off temporary solution. My dream is that there exists, somewhere, a real, bonified, Xfinity tech wizard that's willing to take a risk that I am right. He/she could go in and remove the rogue message. I'll bet it would solve the problem. Thanks for listening!

Hey XfinityJosephA...FYI....the "Message from phone co." madness continues on my voice line. Please review and/or ask someone who can delete what I believe is a "stranded" message in my old voice message account (before it was turned off).....see above horror story. Thanks!!!

Hello @russo999, we will be happy to troubleshoot with you. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue. To send a "Peer to peer" ("Private") message:
Click "Sign In" if necessary
• Click the "Peer to peer chat" icon
• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
• Press Enter to send it

I no longer work for Comcast.

XfinityXavier...Thanks so much for your offer to help. I tried to send the message you requested BUT after sign in, I do not see a "Peer to peer chat" icon. I tried all drop-downs with no success. I did an online "chat" BUT the Xfin employee had no idea what or where the P2P icon exists. The "Message from phone co." problem continues and I must hit/pause my phones # key in order to turn the msg off. Since this appears to be the only way to get back to you/your team my name = William [Edited: "Personal Information"] and address = [Edited: "Personal Information"] and Xfin acct. ID = [Edited: "Personal Information"]. Sorry for the response delay but I continue to believe there is a "rouge" message in my now, turned off, old Xfin message service and because I can no longer access the Xfin msg service, I can't prove the old msg exists. All this started when the new (white) modem was installed. Thanks again for your continued assistance.........WP

Ding, dong the phantom "msg. from phone co." is dead, at  last! I do not know if my "rouge slip through message" suspicion was correct, BUT it doesn't matter.
