Trade-In Phone Scam

UPDATE October 23, 2025: The issue has still yet to be resolved for the missing phone that shows delivered on July 31st! They've essentially stolen a phone that was free and clear of any payments and haven't applied the trade-in value to the new phone. I've submitted 5-6 tickets over the past few months with no update on the issue. 

I’ve had one of the worst customer service experiences with Xfinity Mobile. I switched from my previous carrier due to promotional incentives, and it has been nothing but a mess since day one.

My wife and I both traded in our old iPhones (a 12 Pro and 13 Pro) to receive credits toward our new devices. My wife shipped hers on July 31st — it was delivered and received, yet still no trade-in credit. I shipped mine weeks later, and my credit was applied almost immediately.

Since then, I’ve submitted multiple tickets, each time being told I’d receive a resolution by a certain date — only for nothing to happen. No emails, no calls, no follow-ups. I’ve called in numerous times, spoken to multiple supervisors, and been transferred to Assurant (who handles trade-ins), only to be told they either can’t find my case or have no idea what I’m referring to.

Today, I’ve been on hold with a supervisor for over two and a half hours, waiting for a resolution that never came. It’s unbelievable. I’m convinced the offices closed while I was still on the line.

This company’s customer service and accountability are abysmal. I’ve documented every interaction, and am considering filing a formal complaint with the FCC for breach of contract and mishandling of the trade-in process.

I strongly advise anyone considering switching to Xfinity Mobile to stay far away — the incentives are not worth the stress, time, and lack of professionalism.

user_c7jb0d, thanks for reaching out sharing light to your situation. I do apologize for your experience. These should be smooth, and exciting. Even if the office closed, you were still there on hold. I understand this is a forum, but this is something that we can help with. We accept thousands of trade in devices per day, and have millions of Xfinity Mobile customers including myself that has done trade ins. Things happen, and I understand your frustration. I can do the research, and help with this matter. I noticed you mentioned to have filed a complaint with the FCC, it still isn't too late for me to do some digging. I can only help you, if you help me. The beauty in this is, you got your credits rolling so we know the process was followed the first time. Assurant, and Asurion are major competitors in the device protection market, and both work with all major carriers. This can happen with any other company. If you'd like me to look into your concern, send us a direct message with your full name and service address. From there I can authenticate your account and assist you further.
