Porting Number New Line Not Activating - This is still a thing??

I am currently having this problem i've read a few times here where my phone won't port over. It's only been 20 hours but this is unacceptable that after 3 years this is still an issue with this service. I am no without phone. I was able to port over another phone on the account within the standard 15 minutes. Why can't the team just reboot the system or something and force it to move through. It seems ludicrous that team members and support also have to waste their time on this.

Hello @user_nrt4cg! Thank you for taking the time to reach out to our team on Forums. I apologize that you are experiencing issues with porting your telephone number. Is this for an Xfinity Mobile cell phone service, or residential landline service?

Cell phone service. There was an issue with using a different SIM card than the one that was sent me (i moved) they inserted a different SIM and were able to resolve it then. Thank you. 

Crazy though, I have had to reset Bluetooth prefs for certain devices which seems strange.

Thank you for the details! I'm glad the issue was resolved by getting a new SIM card inserted. I can't imagine going 10 minutes without my cell phone! :) That is odd that you've had to reset your Bluetooth prefs for certain devices. We have a team of Xfinity Mobile experts that may know why this is happening. Would you like me to provide you with the contact information for this team? I just want to make sure that your issues are fully taken care of!

They could if they are still doing research. Otherwise, everything is all tied back together. Thanks

user_nrt4cg, Understood, I'm just glad you were able to get a resolution, even though it wasn't as smooth as we'd have liked. How has your service been with Mobile or any other services you have with us?
