If you need to unlock your Xfinity Mobile phone, so it can be used with another wireless carrier, no problem.
Here are some requirements to be aware of:
The phone must be fully paid off.
At least 60 days must have passed since the phone was activated.
Your Xfinity Mobile account cannot have a past-due balance.
The phone cannot be reported lost, stolen or involved in fraudulent activity.
The phone cannot be active on another Xfinity Mobile account.
Only an account holder, Primary user or Manager may request to have the phone unlocked.

Two weeks and counting for my fully paid off device to be unlocked. I posted a length diatribe about my experience earlier today. I see other complaints about the very same problem. [Edited: "Solicitation"]
I wish I would have researched this sooner, otherwise I wouldn't have purchased a new phone a few months ago, knowing that I would be relocating and thus terminating the service. Right now I am without a phone because I had to shut the service down due to a move. They told me that the unlock would only take about thirty minutes and I received the email stating such but the device never unlocked and now I am on day 4 without a phone. The phone is completely paid off, my balance is completely paid off. After speaking with two representatives and getting nowhere I am now shopping for a new phone with a new carrier though the device currently in my possession belongs to me... yet I cannot use it. My desperation has lead me down a rabbit hole of device unlocking websites which may or may not be legitimate and so i have decided to not make any moves. Some clear direction would be nice but all I see in this forum are people stating the same story without any new information.

I have not seen a CLEAR Disclosure on your website NOR was I EVER notified that my device was eligible to be unlocked.
doesn’t seem legal to me!
