Trying to buy a new phone but the website doesn't work

I'm trying to upgrade a device on an existing line, but the order never gets to the Review page (https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/error?reason=checkout.review). It just keeps saying "Try again". I've tried on several devices, and it's always the same outcome. And no, I'm not giving my SSN to a customer service agent.

Getting real tired of errors on every single thing I click. Why is the website so bad?

Same thing happening to me. I thought it was just me going through this. Xfinity has been on my bad side lately and I hate that because I Love Xfinity, but I’m growing more and more frustrated with them.

Try using this link: https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant/?channel=xMobile . They will not ask for SSN.

Same exact issue. I don't want to drive to an xfinity store to upgrade my phone. Tried multiple devices and browsers.

Same issue. Every time you get to the review order it gives you the error message. I tried one of the online agents and they did have an answer either just said to call the customer service number to try them.

@screenname137​ I have the same issue. The phone that I paid off recently is not showing therefore I can't replace it. My only option is to add a new line which is not what I want to do.

We paid ours off, they show up, but when I go through all the steps to replace them, at the end it pops up and says we have no lines. What a pain.

I started a chat and had an agent call - it was a few hours before the call, but he was able to unlock my old phone and then successfully placed upgrade orders for both our phones.  He got kicked back on the first try, but finally it worked.  He says they have been inundated with iPhone upgrades and that it can take a few tries to get it to go.

@screenname137​ Thanks for the clarification!

In my case, my paid off phone does not even appear. To confirm, how did you go about ordering a replacement for your existing device?

I go to Shop > Phones > Select the iPhone 14 > Choose "Upgrade a device on existing line" > Select the color/storage. The next page lists two devices but is missing my paid off phone for some reason. 

I guess I will need to call them to figure out what's wrong.

I called yesterday, and the Customer Service Rep. said to just keep trying later as they were working/updating the website. I get the very same issue. The website does not recognize my existing line, and I do not want to add a new one just for the new phone.

Hi. How can I send you a DM? I type in your ID in the DM page but a bunch of other IDs are suggested;", yours doesn't appear there.

This is rubbish. The CS agent requested me to send him information directly as a DM. Please reevaluate the thread before spewing out your nonsensical script.

I forgot to mention that this is day 6 from me trying to get this matter sorted and I am yet to receive any "follow up" call from your customer service department. I don't want a new phone line. I already have one, and have been paying for it to Xfinity Mobile, using my paid off phone and your system is not letting me and other customers preorder the new iphone. Focus on that, and actually offer solutions. Thanks.

I had same problem, unable to upgrade and get $400 discount. Went to Xfinity store and after an hour no luck. 

Called support and after a while we figured out what the problem was. 

Offer is for moving number from a different carrier or upgrading phone originally bought from Xfinity. Go figure. 

I had a Verizon phone that I converted to Xfinity. Looks like it doesn’t qualify though  I could not really tell reading Xfinity web pages. 

Now that iPhone 14 is released should be able to buy it minus the discount. Will buy from Xfinity directly so I do not have problem when I do next upgrade. However at this time, 9/16, there appears to be no way to order a full priced phone and keep my number even though the phone was released today. 

Xfinity has been cheap and reliable and my old phone is a 7 and has no trade in value ($25) so other carrier offers don’t look tempting. But will investigate a little more.

@user_f67654​ That's exactly where I'm at. The terms of the promotion are pretty vague. Guess I'll be switching the internet and mobile to a different provider.

Looking at the terms of the offer:

$400 Off: Offer ends 10/6/2022. Requires purchase of new, eligible iPhone, excluding iPhone SE with 5G, while supplies last, 24-month Xfinity Mobile Device Payment Plan Agreement ("Device Agreement"), and 1) activation of new Xfinity Mobile line and transfer of phone number from another carrier within 30 days of phone purchase date or 2) upgrade of an existing Xfinity Mobile line with purchase of a new eligible iPhone and activation of phone on that line within 15 days of order. Existing phone must be paid in full if eligible phone is purchased online or pre-ordered. At least 50% must be paid if purchased at an Xfinity store, and an upgrade fee may apply. Device credits applied monthly to your account over 24 months so long as Device Agreement is in effect. If line is canceled, voluntarily or involuntarily or device payments are accelerated, balance of credits associated with device payment are forfeited. Not valid with prior purchases, returns or exchanges.

Doesn't this bolded sentence suggest that as long as the existing line is paid off, the offer can be applied to upgrade/replace that line?

That is what I've based every one conversation with their CS; but all this while they insist on forcing me to set-up an all new line or "transfer one from elsewhere?" and on top of that, pay in advance for that new line's set-up, a whole month of service even when the phone would not arrive until almost November. It is not even funny.

Since the original post was from back in April, if you don't mind, can I get you to make a new post? We just want to make sure everyone gets to see this.

$400 Off iphone 14 not working for me, though offer says "upgrade of an existing Xfinity Mobile line with purchase of a new eligible iPhone and activation of phone on that line within 15 days of order. Existing phone must be paid in full if eligible phone is purchased online or pre-ordered"
They are giving vague system error as in issue and suggesting set up a new line, pay in full, after phone gets delivered they will switch and adjust the price
I'm NOT able to trust the process will work
Is anyone able to solve it?
