DO NOT BELIEVE Xfinity if they tell you 1) sim swapping is simple! or 2) Be assured, we have resolved your problem.

​​After clarifying AGAIN with a phone rep that swapping the sims between my iPhone and my Moto (so as to swap the phone #'s between the two phones) is "simple" - all I have to do is move the sims, she said - I've now gone about 4 days and as many chats/calls with Xfinity without the ability to receive texts on my Moto, or to use visual voicemail on either phone.  Don't believe them.  At the end of every troubleshooting call (where, essentially, they make me repeat the same actions as the previous agent had me do:  remove sim, reset network, reset APN, restart phone), they assure me that THIS TIME WE DID IT RIGHT.  And, yet, they did not.  Still not receiving texts, still having to use antiquated voicemail system.​​

@XfinityTimothyA​   I am working with another rep (my fourth, I believe?) who says she sent me a new sim card that I should receive today (4:30pm, no sim card yet).  I don't need to bring anyone else into the mix right now.  If she fails me, I will take you up on your offer.  In the meantime, I posted this message as a warning to others considering swapping phone numbers amongst their phones.

@XfinityTimothyA​   So, after not receiving the promised SIM for the 2nd day - I did as you suggested (direct messaging) and all I'm getting is arguments that I should be contacting Xfinity Mobile.  What happened to, "Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue." ?

@XfinityTimothyA  - an update since, at one point, you seemed interested in the fact that I wasn't being helped.  I was told my new SIM card (which may not resolve my problem, but not one of the 4 or so techs I've spoken to has known how to resolve my problem) would "definitely" be shipped overnight and I would get it 3/20.  It's now 3/22, and no SIM card.  After being told it had been shipped Fedex, last night, and me responding that Fedex didn't recognize the tracking number Xfinity had, I was told that it had, in fact, been shipped from an Xfinity store 15 minutes from my home.  I should've been advised to go pick it up, now lied to about how it would be shipped and when it would arrive. 

I don't know how many text messages I'm missing out on, but I hope it's not a lot.  I'm VERY disappointed in Xfinity Mobile, but I don't much feel like Xfinity Mobile cares about that.

@XfinityKyla Oh, make no mistake:  my patience is long gone.  I'm on a chat with an Xfinity rep right now who is telling me that the SIM order was cancelled - two days before the order was placed.  And that they can't place an order until I put my SIM in my phone - and the SIM is already in the phone.    It's absolutely idiotic.

Seriously, Xfinity - what gives?  Can someone with some knowledge and authority to resolve this maybe CALL me?  I mean, you have my phone numbers.

@XfinityTimothyA​   We're now up to two weeks from when my problem first surfaced.  I find it amusing that Xfinity's systems are good enough to remind me to "mark the solution" on this thread (no solution, so can't do that) but NOT good enough to tag your Xfinity Mobile support people to escalate this because the SECOND sim that has supposedly been sent to me has still not arrived.

Hello, @Anon2. I am very sorry to read of your experience. Due to account security, Xfinity Mobile support via social media is very limited. Our team, here, only has access to help with general questions about pricing, service offers, and basic troubleshooting that is all available on the Xfinity Mobile website, here - xfinitymobile.com. I assure you that it is not that we do not want to assist you, it is that our team only supports the website, Therefore, we direct you to the Xfinity Mobile Experts by Text Message at 1 (888) 936-4968, by Phone at 1 (888) 936-4968, or by Chat here https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant/?channel=xMobile

It sounds like you have attempted resolution through these options, correct?

I no longer work for Comcast.

To the Xfinity customer population in general (because the Xfinity reps are not interested in really looking into my issue):  I don't guess it will surprise anyone, but I'm still taken aback how little follow-through there is from Xfinity, at least on Mobile issues.  I was directed after posting here to DM the team, so I did - and that resulted in the rep telling me, "Unfortunately, we can't look at or access Xfinity Mobile accounts. You'll have to reach out to them directly to finish the Xfinity Mobile issue you're experiencing."

I've been on chats and text message conversations and phone calls with at least 4-5 different Mobile reps.  I have been promised a new sim card for my phone 2-3 times.  Nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.  Zip.  Xfinity has just decided to ignore me.  Not even an offer to escalate this, to get me resolution.

This is doubly disappointing because I had previously been recommending Mobile to people, based on the price.  Now I've been without texting and visual voicemail for about 2 weeks, so it's time to start warning people, instead.
