I have never experienced such horrendous customer service as I am currently with xfinity mobile

I switched our plan on Saturday, upgraded it to the 5G, went through the process and waited. Received the email it was successful and our plan has been upgraded. Went to site and it was still processing but within an hour , maybe 10 mins, account was upgraded and everything looked correct. We have 3 lines on 3 gig data at $30 and one unlimited line at $30. Then I get an email today with my current bill due from end of cycle and nothing is correct. The unlimited line is being billed at $45 and there is a $4.80 cent fee on the three phones we upgraded last month for text and talk services??? So I finally got someone who seemed friendly at first. Then proceeded to tell me I was incorrect in pricing and that the unlimited  line is $45. I proceeded to review the plan with him where it specifically states that with the upgraded plan by the gig and unlimited count towards the number of lines needed for the $30 unlimited line and read to him two areas it was referred to on the site. He was obviously angry and said something about the policy not being correct. But didn’t clarify. Then he proceeded to tell me that I did not upgrade our plan successfully. Funny, it was correct Saturday evening when I viewed our account and then if I want to switch the by the gig lines it is now $15 and not the $12 it was prior to upgrading our plan. So what [Edited: "Language"] is going on?? Talk Ann text is clearly stated as being included in the plans at no service charges! Then he became somewhat hostile with me and told me “if you upgraded it successfully you wouldn’t be calling me would you?” What?!! I am beyond livid at this point. I have had zero successful support sessions since initially having issue with one of our phones we upgraded getting lost in the mail. Had issue activating the phone and then finally got that resolved but the it stopped working the other night. Support was useless but whatever. The phone shows no balance on account or that there are 22 payments remaining so something isn’t correct. Tonight however, trying to resolve this billing issue, still not resolved and trying to tell me some of the crashes are coming from another part of xfinity and asking if have had issues with internet or residential service????? First of all, any charges there would be on my internet bill. I have never had support this rude, outright ignorant, and unable to actually take care of an obvious issue on xfinity’ end. Then during our call one of our lines that was by the gig was switched to unlimited, I have no idea how bc I didn’t do it, and when I told this rep he was like, “well, I don’t know how it happened.”. I just have no words left. If I need to end our service and get a full refund since we are out 14 days from upgrades I may have enough documentation of issues to get a legal support involved.

To clarify bc my typing was bad, I am so angry right now. The $4.80 charge on 3 of lines I am being told is coming from another of xfinity and this terrible rep asked if we have been having residential  service issues bc those charges are coming from somewhere else. Funny, bc the charges are listed as service fee for unlimited text and talk on those three lines. I seriously feel like I just spent and hour and half in the [Edited: "Language"] twilight zone and got absolutely nowhere. Offered for a supervisor to call me back, it’s  already 2am!!, and would not give me a supervisor. What [Edited: "Language"] are customers supposed to do? We are at the mercy of the worst customer service reps ever.

@kidsjustine​ Have you gone to a retail store yet? This and other complex billing matters are best handled by a billing agent at a retail desk

I had almost exaclty the same problems with upgrade to unlimited costing $45 instead of the advertise $30. I also got charged $4.80 per line. Xfinity customer service is the worst.

I first service rep I called said those $4.80 were due to some international roaming (which I certainly wasn't). THe second rep told me that this is a line activation charge because I don't have xfinity wifi, which I obviously do since I needed to be one to sign up for their service in the first place.

The only way to get American based support is to make a claim to the BBB. I had a call the next day. She was able to tell me the $4.80 charges are incorrect and they are  working to update issues. In regards to our unlimited line being charged $45 she told me from what she saw that there is nothing about by the gig lines counting towards multi-line discount. (I found it on two pages on the mobile website, twice on each page and screenshot and highlighted the areas and sent via an email I had as well after we talked). She couldn’t say I was wrong or right, which I told her I get that but I know I am 100% correct, but that they need to investigate it and will get back to me in 24-48 hrs. Well, 24 hours later I had a response from her on BBB complaint that the “customer is correct and the unlimited line should be being billed at $30” and that they were working on resolving the other charges and the incorrect billing for the unlimited line. No phone call in 48 hrs and now it’s the weekend. Account is still incorrect but at least I have confirmation I am correct and they are aware of all the inaccurate charges on my account. However, account is still not correct when viewing it. Current bill due and current billing cycle are all messed up. 
So, my bit of advice to get American provided support on these issues, file a BBB complaint ASAP. This is the second time I have had to bc of mobile  issues and chat support and phone support were useless and I get a call the next day and at least get progress towards a resolution instead of talking to someone who has no idea what they are talking about and are just downright rude. It is absurd how little knowledge these reps have in the mobile department in every regard. I seriously felt like I was losing my mind when on phone with them and it took everything I had to keep my cool. 
Everyone needs to file a complaint with the BBB on the $4.80 per line charges. It is incorrect and not sure if you don’t how soon it will get resolved for you. I was told my account would be added to the list of those they already knew had this issue. They should be able to see all the accounts and correct it on their own knowing it is an issue but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

@kidsjustine​ regarding my $45 unlimited charge, I just change back my data plan to by the gig before my month was up to avoid the extra charge since I only changed it for a vacation travel and I didn’t exceed the 10 gig limit in the end.

However the $4.80 “line surcharge” I was bounced back and forth from the store to 3 different call rep all saying different explanations on why all of a sudden this charge was happening. One said I made an international or roaming calls which I didn’t. Another is saying I no longer have Xfinity Wi-Fi which I do. I am convince none of these people really know what is going on and they are each making stuff up to get me off the call. Finally I tried the online chat to another rep and fortunately he was able to refund the month and the upcoming next month bill cycle. He told me I shouldn’t be seeing anymore of this in the future but I will keep a look out next month to check. I suspect what happened is during to switch to unlimited somehow my Xfinity mobile account lost its link with my Xfinity home internet account, so it seems to mobile that was no longer a internet customer. Nevertheless all of this shouldn’t of happened in the first place, but what was far worst was all the time and aggravation I suffered to get this resolved.

Yes, the time it takes to get any resolution is the worst! My issue is they kept telling me I was wrong and there was no resolution. Since getting the message thru the BBB from xfinity, after receiving the call from xfinity corporate, that stated  the customer is correct and they would be working on correcting this issues, I have heard nothing back and last check account is still messed up.
I switch between unlimited and by the gig, college age son typically is unlimited while the rest of us use by the gig, and have never had issues. Been doing it for years. I don’t know what’s going on but xfinity has some major corrections to do and truly they need to be compensating customers for all the time they have to take to resolve these issues. If customer service just knew from the beginning what they are doing it wouldn’t be so bad. I am tired of being told I am wrong or being fed a line of incorrect information over and over that I have no choice but to make a BBB complaint to get a corporate rep to call me and get things resolved. I think from now on I will just start with the BBB bc my time is valuable to me and xfinity can’t recognize that and instead, when the customer starts to get aggravated after hours of going round and round they think we are supposed to continue to have patience and understanding. I’m beyond that now.

@XfinityThomasC​ do you read the issues, the posts?? Do you see the support we are getting thru your “exceptional team of mobile experts” ?? There is no support. There is such a high level of incompetence and lack of knowledge of your products and services by your reps and you just allow it it to continue. It is at a level I have never seen with xfinity and it just continues to keep happening. You are playing with peoples money, their time, and doing nothing about it at all. Your “exceptional team of mobile experts” has been anything but exceptional. Seriously, wake up and fix what it is broken. Enough already.

Did you get resolution on this?  I switched my plan last Wednesday and, upon receiving my latest bill yesterday, have the exact same scenario as you.  My unlimited line was billed at $45 instead of $30, and each of my three lines have the same $4.80 charge.  I tried resolving the issue with a chat analyst last night but disconnected after being told that these were prorated charges since I changed my plan during my billing cycle.  He clearly didn't understand how the billing worked on the Mobile side, so I wasn't going to waste more time with him.

@woldog​ I have never gotten full resolution. I also haven’t been able to to talk to them since my last report to the BBB as I have been down and out with Covid. They do call you though if you make a complaint thru the BBB with American based support. I can’t say it’s great but it helped. Just continuing to have billing errors now where my bill with credits says it is $77.25 when I view it but my account says I am going to be billed $112.25 to my card. It makes no sense. I can’t even deal with it right now. It’s so bad I don’t know how it isn’t illegal. And considering we sign our rights away to class action lawsuits the only way to try and handle it is continuous contact of support by filing complaints to the BBB to get American based support. I dread every time I go to view my xfinity bill online now bc it could just change overnight, or from last day of billing cycle to when they send me the bill the next day in email and it’s totally different. I don’t get it. And I never even know if my data use is correct online bc it always has an error message every single day which is just absurd.

They refunded me for the month but now I see the same charges the next upcoming month. It seems they didn’t fix the problem on their system. Needless to say I am very frustrated that I may have to continuously contact comcast to get these charges reverse

@user_6ef150​ yep, this is what I am dealing with as well. I don’t understand how the incompetence continues on xfinity’s end. It’s terrible and so don’t know what else to say. Only advice I can give is file a complaint thru the BBB. Every single person should continue to do that until maybe we get resolution. Been with them for years and never have seen this level of incompetence and lack of customer service ever.

Thank you for this forum for me to vent!

I know that I am not going to have anyone from Xfinity Mobile read this or apparently care.

I have been with xfinity internet for awhile now and had no real problems, very happy with them. I I have been with Xfinity Mobile since 10 November and it has been a nightmare for me!

I was sent a Pixel 6a and it would not charge and I had to send it back. It took three different agents before I could get them to email me a return label to send it back. I received a Samsung Galaxy s22 as a replacement. I had a terrible time getting it activated. I was told over and over by different agents that it could not be ported because I had the wrong zip code. I contacted my previous carrier Tracfone and they said that the zip I used was the same as connected to the phone. It was one thing after another and at this point I have spent over 24 hours total time trying to get everything straightened out. I now am at the point were they are telling me that they will not fully honor the promo deal for moving over to Xfinty from Tracfone! I have literally spent 24 hours of my life in total time on the phone and it is still not over!

As I am typing this I am still on the phone trying to get help.

@user_MWM​ please make a complaint to the better business bureau. It’s pretty easy and the company will come up as Comcast in Philadelphia when you put in xfinity mobile and That’s fine. Make the complaint and someone will call you from corporate support in less than 24 hrs excluding weekends. It may be the best way, and only way in my personal experience, to get anything resolved.

On my 11/20/22 bill, I was charged $45 per line for unlimited data for 3 lines I had on unlimited, even though I have 10 lines.   in the past it was $20 per unlimited line.  I was also charged for "service with unlimited talk and text" on those 3 lines as well, $4.49 on two of the lines and $4.80 on the third line.  One agent I spoke with said it was because it shows I don't have residential internet.   They credited the amount I was overcharged.

However  on the "current cycle" in the billing page, it still shows a $4.80 charge is being charged for 3 of my lines for the Nov 21st-Dec 20th cycle.   I called xfinity again and the agent I spoke with mentioned said that the $4.80 are prorated connection charges because those 3 lines show they were transferred from another account and they will show on the current cycle, but will be removed from future bills..

user_6ef150 mentioned "I suspect what happened is during to switch to unlimited somehow my Xfinity mobile account lost its link with my Xfinity home internet account"   

 

 Last month, I did change my xfinity residential plan from an older Preferred double play package to their newer cable/internet package (popular TV, superfast internet), but I haven't discontinued service.   

Just wondering, for those who have this billing problem, did they change their residential internet plan lately?    Or maybe this bug is also  occurring even for those who never modified their residential internet plans?

Thanks

@calbear88​ I was given that excuse with my first call after being told first it was for another reason. However, I never made any changes  and have had the same internet service for years with them. Something when we did the upgrade with new phones or the upgrade to the new 5G plan started it. I finally talked to someone from corporate support again yesterday and believe everything is finally resolved. I believe something in their system is totally out of whack and they have yet to recognize that there is a major problem on their end technically that they need to fix. It definitely seems to be an issue though where their mobile is not seeing customers internet service and billing incorrectly. Although I am not sure that is the problem with charging incorrect amount for unlimited lines. Makes sense for the service fee for unlimited talk and text.

Good news!  As of today, 12/02/2022, on the xfinity website/app, under billing, view current cycle, the $4.80 charge on 3 of my lines no longer appears.  Fingers crossed, but it looks like it is fixed, at least for my account.  Hopefully others see the $4.80 charge has disappeared as well.

Thanks

I just checked myself and as of today those $4.80 charges are also gone for me.
