Xfinity support keeps saying I will get my SIM unlock email but I never do

I can't even begin to imagine how that must feel! I know it would drive me crazy to not be able to use my phone! The first thing I need to make sure of is that you did call the mobile number, 888-936-4968. If you called them and got nothing, you can let me know in a DM here. You can send me one by following these directions:

Same issue... multiple calls to get phone Sim unlocked, even got an email that they completed things on their end and I should be good to go, but nope, still locked.  Went into store, so they couldn't say I was doing something wrong on the device, showed rep the email saying it was unlocked and all I got was, I needed to wait for the unlock.  Over a week, no phone service because Xfinity will not actually unlock my phone.  FCC and FTC complaints are my next stop.  If you look on this forum and internet this seems to be a common practice by Xfinity, not one off technical issues.

I have been at it for 40 days now with Xfinity Mobile ad 5 times I received emails informiing me that my Iphone was unlocked, but it wasnt. I have had spectrum mibile tech's on it and apple support, but in reality if Xfinity doesnt want to unlock you  they wont. I am living testimony to that

Xfinity doesnt care about its customers, they have discovered that its cheaper to have a [Edit: Language] customer service department than it is to try to please everyone, so there it is......

I'm currently experiencing the same issue and I am beyond frustrated.  The first person I spoke with didn't mention anything about receiving and email and told me to wait "a couple of hours". After 24 hours, I reached out again and was told it would be 48 hours. Meanwhile, I have no call or text capacities on a phone that I have owned outright for years. Utterly ridiculous.  The last person I chatted with (since I can't call because they've royally screwed me over) said they put my request as a "high priority" but I really think they're just bs'ing me. I'm having a hard time figuring our why my phone is locked to begin with - the phone is paid for and I've never been under contract with Xfinity Mobile. When I requested for my service to be switched, the phone should've been unlocked then. For someone who uses their phone constantly (I work from home) this is wildly inconvenient. 

Although I feel bad for others who are dealing with this issue, it's nice to see I'm not the only one.  I have two phones that were supposed to be unlocked after "24 to 48 hours". Both completely paid for. I have never received the emails with the unlock codes. Promised I would get them Monday. Then promised I would get them Tuesday. Called Wednesday and was told that the other two people were wrong and that it needed 48 hours, even though it's been around 72 hours at this point.  I've spent literally hours on the phone with their reps. Last night it was "escalated" and the person I was speaking to had me on hold for 1 hour and 15 minutes while he was talking to the "unlock department" (sounds made up!)  He swore he would get to the bottom of it and call me before his shift ended at 10pm.  No call.  Called this morning (now 4 days) and there weren't even any notes from the guy last night, so I had to start all over again.  After another hour this morning, they said that the email was sent yesterday.  Haha!  No....it wasn't. "Did you check you spam?"  OF COURSE I checked my spam.  I've been refreshing my Inbox and spam folders every few minutes for two days.  They said that they would need to resend it.  I said "if you haven't changed or fixed anything, what makes you think it's going to magically go through this time?"  The response was that they had to go through the "right steps" before he can escalate it, but I spoke to the "escalations department" yesterday for over an hour!!!  

This company has proven to be the absolute worst in terms of quality of service and customer support.  I am in the process of completely eliminating Comcast from my life.  Already changed home internet and phones to another carrier. I had the "best" home internet package with Comcast, yet my download speeds were just over 30mbps!  Atrocious! And it seems obvious to me that they outsource their customer care overseas because there is a definite language barrier and it's more than frustrating having to explain this detailed situation to multiple reps over multiple hours when it's hard to understand them!

I just want this over with so I can complete my purging of Comcast from our lives. Between my cable/internet bundle and having 4 cell lines, it cost me about $500 last month.  Enough is enough.  Switching to a new carrier will save me over $250 per month.  All I need is TWO UNLOCK CODES and it will all be over.  Fingers crossed.

To All:

1.) XM doesn’t always send an email when unlocking phones. You need to check the Carrier Lock setting on your phones. 

2.) To transfer your lines to another carrier read the following carefully:
