Enable short code texts from bank
I'm unable to receive short code texts from my bank (US Bank) since switching my service from AT&T to Xfinity Mobile a few days ago, thus cannot receive 2-factor authentication codes from my bank to access my account via the US Bank app or online via the web. US Bank's error message indicates that I need to contact my carrier and ask them to enable short code text messages from 872265. An Xfinity chat agent said that Xfinity doesn't block any short code text messages and insists the issue is with my bank, verified that my account has no blocks or anything disabled in terms of text messages and premium messages. But I saw elsewhere on this forum that Xfinity Mobile customers are encountering this problem with lots of banks, so it's clearly not an issue with any one bank but rather with Xfinity Mobile as a carrier and settings that allow short text messages from banks. The Xfinity chat agent provided me with an Advance Support Team phone number, 866-447-5048, so I will try that next. This is a HUGE problem, if it can't be resolved I'll have to switch back to AT&T.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to our forums about this issue, @user_3366da. This is certainly not the experience that we want you to have with your cell services and short message. This should be an easy switch when reaching out to our experts at mobile. You can each out to them at or try that specific number that you were provided.
Let us know if that helps or if you still need assistance.

I am a new xfinity mobile customer as well; also switching from AT&T. I was able to receive a text message from Wells Fargo, but not from Schwab. This is completely unacceptable, and I too will have to switch back to AT&T if xfinity cannot resolve this.
