Unlock Phone for Study Abroad

My daughter is studying abroad. We purchased a new mobile phone on a 2 year agreed payment plan. We cannot pay the phone off early without a penalty. I was told by two different representatives that after 60 days we can request a temporary unlock for a student studying abroad. I have made that request and am now being told we have to pay $10 a day for international use. She will be abroad for 4 months, that is $1200! I would not have purchased the new phone if this was going to be an issue. We have been with Xfinity for over 23 years. This is unacceptable. Please help. We need a 4 month unlock.

In the end we ended up having to pay off the phone. It totally sucked but lesson learned. Ultimately none of the employees really know the details of this, so you have to read the fine print. After lots and lots and lots of complaining for two weeks straight I was able to get a credit for a good chunk of what we lost by losing the promotion rate but only because we’ve been with Xfinity for over 20 years.
