Not receiving SMS with security pin for porting out

Hi, I tried to get the security pin to transfer my number, but I never receive an SMS...

I have tried it multiple times...

Seems there is an issue, as the website does say an SMS will be sent...

Same issue here. I am trying to get my transfer PIN for last 3 days without luck. Tried everything. 

1) When tried using my account on Xfinity website, pop up says “A security PIN was successfully sent via text to … XXX”. The text never arrives. Tried sending to both the lines I have. 

2) When tried chatting with Agent via SMS, I am told I need to call to get the PIN. 

3) When called helpline, they say they sent PIN via text. It never arrives. Wasted many hours over last 3 days trying to get my transfer PIN. 

I think they might be scamming into not letting people transfer out. I plan to report this to FTC.

I'm having this problem too. I've tried to send the PIN about 10 times now - still no text. No one on support can help me either. Looks like I'm just getting a new phone number, I'm definitely not staying at Xfinity after this.

Same exact issues here in July… yep sounds like they don’t want people transferring out

the primary reason I am leaving Xfinity is poor customer service and things not working. 

absolutely trash
