How much will I pay per month for tablets?

After certain amounts of data usage, per line per month, speeds will be reduced. These thresholds are:

  • 30 GB for Unlimited Plus.

As an Xfinity Mobile customer, you may qualify for up to 10 lines with your Xfinity Mobile account. In addition to your data charges, we apply monthly charges such as taxes and fees, which are based on your location.

If you choose to purchase your device with a device payment plan (DPP) or add the Xfinity Mobile Protection Plan (XMPP), those amounts will be included in your bill as well. To give you a clear understanding of your monthly charges, we'll provide you with an estimated monthly bill before you check out.

How will I know when my service charges will start?
Your billing cycle starts the moment you activate your device, or seven days after device shipment — whichever comes first. Your card will automatically be charged 20 days after your billing cycle ends. You can also make a one-time payment after your billing cycle ends but before your card is automatically charged.

Here’s a sample of a billing timeline:

  • December 6: Device ships
  • December 13 (seven days later): Billing cycle begins
  • January12: Billing cycle ends
  • February 2 (20 days after your billing cycle ends): Payment is due

How can I monitor my data usage each month?
Keeping tabs on your data usage is a smart move. You can log into your Xfinity Mobile account to view your monthly data usage in the My Data section of the Activity page online. Or you can use the Xfinity app to view Mobile lines and data usage in the Services tab under the Mobile services card.

You can switch between Unlimited and By the Gig in your account. If you have By the Gig, you can also change to a different shared data amount when your needs change.
