New Xfinity Mobile User - Terrible Customer Service and phone service
I ported my iPhone number from TMobile to Xfinity Mobile on June 23, and ever since I am unable to text Android users. I can voice call them but I cannot MMS text to them. Android users can send me texts to my phone, but I cannot send Android users texts! I have been in contact with Customer Service almost every week since, if not daily, and am told the problem is fixed but it never is. Today I was on the phone and in live chat as well, for FIVE HOURS and went through as many CSRs all with different names. I told them they hadn't provisioned my account for MMS messaging, otherwise why can I not text to Android users on my iPhone? We did various troubleshooting, resetting Network Settings (twice), checking my iPhone settings. MMS messaging had disappeared but I reset ALL of my phone's setting so that I could get that back which I did, but I still cannot send MMS texts to Android users!
No one can tell me why this is happening, nor fix it??? I'm about ready to cancel and refuse payment, and return to TMobile, but I thought I would try posting here to get competent help of which I have none, to date!

UPDATE: My final comment to another user in the customer service section, also serving as my end to this debacle of getting no worthwhile customer service resolution of issues, and being forced to leave Xfinity after 11 years of internet service.
I am having your experience as to the poor customer service in relation to non-functional mobile for one month after I ported my number from T-Mobile to Xfinity, as a longtime legacy internet customer of 11 years. When I kept voice calling or using the live chat agent for support, I kept being told things were fixed: the mobile service, and then additional charges I was billed that strangely seemed to occur after I was complaining about having to constantly contact Xfinity and get told things were fixed when they had never been. Except that after one month, (!) they were FINALLY able to get my texting to Android users fixed (I'm an iPhone user). BUT somehow I ended up being billed for an internet speed upgrade I never asked for (it turned out one of the agents told me, "OH that was GIVEN to you, free of charge, as a goodwill gesture for such a good customer. Don't worry, that will be credited!" Famous last words, aka LIES). I was also told I somehow ended up with a Latino NOW TV subscription for an additional $15, which is also crazy since I'm an old white lady on a fixed income and don't speak Spanish, "because it came with the 500 Mbps upgrade".
How this all started: As a legacy customer, all I needed was the 150 Mbps I already had, but Xfinity told me I could no longer have that, and as a legacy customer, I also could not get a promotion, so FIRST I had to upgrade from legacy to whatever this new fresh hell was to be: 300 Mbps at $55/mo (nothing cheaper), but ONLY if I bundled it with mobile, free for one year effective the day I ported my number from TMobile on June 23, 2026. I would much rather have had Internet Essentials, since I don't stream much and only need to read email, text, and do online ordering, the usual grandma stuff lol, but you can't get it if you are already an Xfinity customer, legacy or not. Long story short, you can see my other posts about this under my username here. I never got credits promised for charges I did not give approval for nor ask for, and I never got any goodwill credit for being without working mobile from June 23 to July 23, "because it's FREE". I think I have been on the phone or online with Xfinity trying to resolve the issues since June 23, and now it's August 5th. By way of denying the promised $49.18 credit by another Xfinity CSR on Monday this week (August 3), they told me I never paid in June. But I've been on autopay for going on 5 years now, so did they not take it? Or are they lying after giving me credits in June as to why they took no payment? I know they are lying; let's put it that way. They proceeded to bill me in July as usual for the $55/mo with no extra charges added (yet) and took it since I'm on autopay! Now for this month of August, on the 10th of the month, I supposedly owe $119.18 and not the agreed-upon $55/mo.
It's tiresome, and I'm not going to fight them anymore. I took my account off autopay. I will pay the $55/mo, while I go back to T-Mobile and do a bundle they had offered me for only $6 more, BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO KEEP ME, unlike Xfinity. Kicking myself, I didn't take it, but I had no idea how much Xfinity customer service had changed, and I'm on a budget, so I took the offer of $55/mo. I wouldn't advise ANYONE to use Xfinity. Their internet is the best, but is it worth it for what you pay in billing issues and NO COMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE? [Edited: "Language"] NO. I feel like I'll pay with my life if I stay with the lousy, lying customer support that doesn't care about keeping your loyalty, never resolving issues, and then LYING about it repeatedly. This is the first time in 11 years with Xfinity that anything like this has happened, and it will be the last.

UPDATE: Spoke with Xfinity customer service and was told that the $49.18 credit will be applied to my August 11 bill so that from now on my Xfinity Internet should be $55/mo (with the free mobile for one year) as my guaranteed monthly price for the next 5 years. Hopefully the $49.18 credit will be applied in time for my autopay on August 11. I was told to check back Thursday, August 6, on the progress or processing of the credit and was given a ticket number for the credit. It would be so great if finally things are going the way they are supposed to. I'm being told that since the mobile service is free, there is no way to issue a goodwill credit to my account for the time period of June 23-July 23 when my mobile was not functional as it should have been, nor for the time and effort spent on my part regarding failures on Xfinity's part in getting service functional plus the billing errors/erroneous charges. That's all for now. I hope that I can stay a longtime Xfinity customer and not have to go elsewhere. We'll see; time will tell.
