Phone Number Won’t Port Over
I bought a phone from Xfinity a few weeks ago and decided to switch to their phone service. I tried to port over my original number (which I had for over a decade) at that time, but after trying for over an hour with the escalation team, the in-store rep was unable to do it. A huge contributing factor to me getting a new phone was the $300 off to port over a number. The rep told me I could get a Google phone number for free and port over at any time within 30 days to still get the deal since it was out of my control. Earlier today, I went into my local store to do just that. The rep had to Google how to complete the process and was still confused. Then I lost service which he said should resolve in minutes. It didn’t. I ended up having to leave for an appointment. The rep had told me that I could still connect to Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots to use my phone in public. Connecting to those no longer works as before. It is now 10 hours since the process began. The rep told me it should take no more than a few hours but some cases take up to two days. This is ridiculous! I’m really frustrated because I have important things to do with my phone.

Hi, @user_390dcd, it's vital we take the right action to get your phone service working and this porting issue resolved. It sounds like you signed up for Xfinity Mobile service. Are you able to let us know if you need support with Xfinity Mobile service or Xfinity Digital Voice service? Digital Voice service is our home phone service. I want to be 100% sure we know exactly what steps we need to take care of your account.

I am having the same issue. I am trying to port out a number that I have had for 10 years and they wont let me port out the number because I have a past due balance. With other Carriers even if you owe a past due balance you can port out a number
