I am unable to buy a new phone

Is anyone else having this problem? I get everything set and go to add to cart and get an error message saying it’s something on their end. I even had an agent try to bypass and no luck, they hit the same error message. I’ve used different devices, browsers, incognito, and no luck. It’s been going on for at least 24 hours now, any idea when it will be fixed?

I ended up going to the xfinity store and they were on the phone with tier 3 tech support for 2 1/2 hours,  and they found that there is a glitch in my account. Something about being stuck in gen 2 and not upgraded to gen 3 ( no idea what that means) so they put in 2 SR tickets ( again, no idea) and said it would take 7 to 10 days to fix. I’m on day 5 and still waiting. 
so, if anyone else is having this problem, this is what it’s going to take.

@Luna_geisha​ Good luck getting that fixed.  What I discovered in trying to get a billing issue fixed over 10 months, five SR tickets and two Tier 3 support people (Tier 2 did nothing but create tickets and close them without fixing the problem) was that the XM systems are apparently so complicated that once a mistake is entered into the system, it's almost impossible to resolve.  My issue was eventually resolved by a diligent Tier 3 support person but I probably spent 10-15 hours on the phone with the various levels of support over a couple dozen phone calls.

After another 2 1/2 hours total on with customer service, they said the gen 2 thing was fixed. And I am still unable to buy a phone. So I figured out a solution to my problem myself, I switched to Verizon. The phone I’ve been trying to buy from xfinity for three weeks is going to be delivered by Verizon tomorrow. 
I was left with no choice, nobody seemed to either know or care enough to fix this problem for me. I kept getting passed to someone else to someone else to someone else. I’ve been ridiculously patient,  but I am done.
I’m paying more per month, and I’m not getting the 550 off deal I was guaranteed to get once this was fixed, but I’ll have the phone I’ve saved up for. 
sorry xfinity, you failed me.

I am sorry that our team was not able to get involved to further help, @Luna_geisha. We never want there to be a problem and will do everything in our power to help if something comes up. I just switch to Xfinity Mobile last month from Verizon and have been loving the service and my greatly lowered bill. We cut our family plan cost by 1/2. We hope you will think of us again in the future! Did you have any further concerns at this time?
