Customer Service

Hello Customer Service,

I have told Xfinity Representatives numerous times that I do not own, nor plan to own a cell phone. Ye I am constantly receiving messages via email from Xfinity stating that, "We were unable to reach you via text." Duh !!

If I don't own a cell phone, then how can I possibly receive a text message? Please discontinue trying to contact me via text, and then sending a message that says you were unable to reach me via text.  It's unwanted email like this that clutters up my Inbox.

Regards, [Edit: Personal Information]

user_zc12gr I anticipate we'll need to remove a phone number that's listed on your account. We can get this done in a direct message.  You can use the Direct Messaging icon at the top of the page to send your name and service address to "Xfinity Support." It's next to the bell icon on the right side of the page.

Hello Joseph,

Appreciate the assistance, but am a bit hesitant to remove the one phone number listed on my account. It is a landline, but itis the one phone contact I have available to provide. Why can't I just list it and mark it as a landline phone, no text available?

@user_zc12gr Thanks for the update. I have a few options for you to try. We can work on editing those notifications. The first link (https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-xfi-notification-center ) I have I want you to scroll down to the Managing Notification Preferences and opt out of text messages and email. 

The second link walks you through opting out of text messages at https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-alerts. 

The third link I have goes into Manage your communications from Xfinity such as sales, promotional mail, door to door sales and will add you to the do not contact list https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/add-to-do-not-call-list. If you could follow those steps to stop those emails and messages about texting.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Comcast has the worst customer service experience. It is a loop of robot idiocy that refuses to connect you to a live person.
