Network not registered or cannot connect to the network

Samsung Galaxy 15a 5g. Ordered on the 20th of February activated on the 24th.I ordered one for me and one for my husband. I continuously get the error not registered to the network or cannot connect to the internet with the secondary message emergency calls only. On February 27th I went to the store and they put a new sim in it. Still having the problem. Whenever I reach out to xfinity they want to trouble shoot.  I visited the store on the 11th of March the store finally said we've done all we can. File a claim with Assurant. After today trying to make a call and getting not registered to a network. Emergency calls only. Restarting my phone is the only way to fix it I reached the breaking point.  I tried to file a claim.  My problem does not qualify for a claim and I was told to call Xfinity mobile.  At my wit's end I reached out to xfinity. I was on the phone for an hour. The rep talked to her supervisor and told me they were going to replace it and I would get a confirmation email within 2-3 hours. I never received an email.  Call back to xfinity and on the phone for 3 hours!! I guess I was lied to because no record of replacement phone. The rep filed an escalation ticket (yes I have a ticket number). He says it will be resolved in 24 hours.  Do I believe that? NO!! The rep felt so bad for my experience with xfinity that he gave me a $60 credit. My husband has no issues with his phone.  Only I have the problem.  My phone is 22 days old! I need help!! Like NOW

@TraciV Have you tried contacting your previous provider to confirm the porting process completed successfully for your number? If not already. try the following;

Toggle On and Off Airplane Mode
Restart Your Phone
Update the Phone's Software
Manually Select Your Carrier
Change the Preferred Network Type
Reset the Network Settings

@XfinityMartyR Here is something I found interesting. I bought my phones thru Xfinity and Xfinity knew I was a mobile customer with them but when you check the imei number on the compatibility site it says they are not compatible with Xfinity mobile?

TraciV, Oh no. This is definitely not the experience that we like to hear about. Usually, the compatibility site is correct as the first place to check for device compatibility. I am sorry to learn about this experience. Were you able to try those troubleshooting steps to see if that helps?

I have same problem A15 5G. I had Moto G 5G and got Samsung for my wife since it has better specs. No use working / w Xfinity.
It has to do with their software/hardware glitchy (ie intermittent bug) wrt Samsung and XM
They have not fixed it for a year and will not fix it. If one is lucky a future Samsung phone may not have this problem.

Usually turning Airplane mode ON wait for a few secs, turning it off does the trick. But then spontaneeously the problem may re-appear. So in case of Emergency one is stuck.
Almost every other day I am running into this problem. Incoming calls go straigt to voicemail without ringing and outgoing calls fail in this way. Avoid Samsung on Xfinity Mobile.
This problem has nothing to do with porting.
I was an existing XM customer and upgraded to Samsung A15G from a Moto Phone
IF you want low cost and no issues, go with Moto (and accept less fancy / feature phone)

@xm95050​ for 8  Months I argued with xfinity over the same issue end usually solving it with turning the Airplane mode on and off I contacted Samsung and they said that the phone I had which I had gotten for free through xfinity was a piece of c*** phone and They suggested that the type of phone I had was like being in a cave even though I'm in a major city next to a tower I should have had service I was going through cancer treatments at the time and my doctors were unable to get ahold of me as well as the ride System through my insurance kept coming to pick me up and was missing me and I was missing their rides so my care for my health was being affected because of the service I was receiving through their phone And their connective services I argued with xfinity agents for over 8 months before I finally talk to corporate And they credited my bill  As well as somehow fixing the service in general I had no issues until I tried to add a line on to my existing service in my bill went from 50 $50 a month to add a free line to a 120 and I'm currently arguing once again with agents to correct the bill in my service on my phone is not working again

I have this same issue. I can use my xfinity wifi at home, but NOT ANY WIFI HOTSPOTS outside of home. I can use Starbucks or my local library BUT NOT ANY PUBLIC XFINITY HOTSPOTS. I've been a customer for 6 years or so. It started last Friday just after SAMSUNG did an OS update. I thought it might have been that. But it seems like this problem of "You can only do emergency calls. You're not on a registered network." is only affecting Samsung phones. Any ideas? I'm at the point of contacting my state PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (CALIFORNIA) and filing an FCC complaint as well. Thx for any help.

Well, my wife and kids have iPhones and theirs are working. Could it be ATT?
