Upgrade to byod
So I have an xfinity device with an existing line but I want to upgrade to a device from third party (unlocked apple device) but I wanted to know if I would be able to keep my number or transfer my number to that device with a new sim?

Thanks so much for reaching out to us here in the forums. I appreciate your interest in bringing over another device and I’d love to help you with this.
You can absolutely bring that new device over and we can keep your current number for that phone.

According to another post you can now upgrade or move your sim to another compatible phone as Xfinity Mobile customer support now has the capability to switch your sim/account/IMEI to match your new device. I suggest that you first check the compatibility of the new/different device, and if compliant, power off both devices and move your sim from one phone to the other. Power up the new phone and allow several minutes for it to connect to XM. You may need to power off and on a few times. If this works, you will need to contact XM and have them replace/change the IMEI associated with the pertinent user phone number before all features will work properly.
Good luck.
