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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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
