Trying to switch from Verizon to Xfinity Mobile... taking not minutes...not hours... it is now DAYS...

Trying to make the switch to Xfinity mobile from Verizon has been quite frustrating so far.  I followed the simple steps precisely - account creation, new SIM card, entered all the correct information - and rather than a seamless process, now I've been on hold for many hours. All support has been overseas call-center style support with several layers to work through. There is slight a language barrier, but it is not bad. Spoken with advanced tech support numerous times. The last time I called, their entire call center suddenly dropped all calls and I never received a call back (though I was assured they would call me right back).  They are very friendly, and always assure me they are going to get it 'no problem'... but then there's an awkward pause after the basic steps are taken and the tech seems confused as to why they can't get my number to work for them.  The phone is unlocked, it registers 'Xfinity Mobile' and service bars in the upper left corner, and Xfinity assures me the number is in their system now... And yet, I have no service. But the problem here is now i can no longer go back because my Verizon service has already been cancelled by the action.  I mean, it's like my account never existed with them and there is no one to help on that side of things now either.  This is very frustrating as this is also my business cell phone, and I am losing customer contacts with every hour that goes by without service. I'm truly not sure what else to do.

user_83730d. Thanks for reaching out about your activation issue. I know you have taken time on this issue and the mobile agents need to out in tickets when the issue is not resolved. Did they mention a ticket or elevating to a higher tier? You can also try mobile chat here https://comca.st/37i787u

The bottom of the page will link to Xfinity Assistant which will lead to talking to an agent. If you call again or chat with no progress, let us know here.

@XfinityEthan​ Oh yes, multiple tickets were made (although i was never given a ticket number, only told a ticket was created) and I was elevated to advanced support / higher tier several times.  One time they told me my previous carrier was to blame, but further investigation and confirmation from both Xfinity and the previous carrier confirmed that my number has already successfully ported over to Xfinity. Now I am told that my SIM card is to blame. I was assured a new SIM card would be overnighted to me, but it was not. It was sent standard.  That's twice Xfinity mobile agents have lied to me to avoid taking responsibility.  The mobile chat is a robot. I tried that several times already and get nothing but automated topics. If the SIM card does not work this time, I am switching back to my previous carrier and registering formal complaints against Xfinity mobile with the FCC, BBB, and any other agency that records and reports this sort of treatment. This is the last opportunity I am giving Xfinity Mobile to make this right.

Good morning @user_83730d, and thank you for sharing those details with us; really appreciate it. I realize you've been trying to get this taken care of for quite a while, so please know that your time, patience, and all your efforts into signing up for our mobile service does not go unappreciated. At this time, our Digital Care Team is limited on the support we're able to provide, in terms of our mobile service. To address this matter further, I have attached their contact information below. I'm deeply sorry to hear that this experience has made you feel this way, and I hope that everything goes smoothly with the new sim card!

Thank you. I have tried all of those options and have logged at least 12-14 hours of time on support calls from India. They're always very friendly, but the English language barrier was real these past couple times. As well as the rolling blackouts and call terminations due to the power grid / phone service over there. It's been incredibly frustrating. The new SIM card was received and after another 1+ hour on the phone with a tech, I was able to get it working...however the service is quite sub-par.  I now get 1 bar in most places (with Verizon I had 3-4 bars in the same places).  Many places now I'm not able to even squeak out a text. I'm not quite happy with the service, and have already been in touch with my previous carrier on how to switch back.  I have been an Xfinity customer (phone/internet) for 10 years now. I feel like I've been swindled by the add-on mobile service. There are real financial reasons to switch, it's much cheaper yes, but it's so disjointed from the main Xfinity eco-system that it feels clunky and almost like a Comcast afterthought.  I wish my experiences were better to report than this.  I really wanted to be happy with the service.
