XM free line for a year- scam

Signed up for XM with 4 lines in November and the store employees here in MI promised me that I qualify for the free line for a year because I haven't had service with XM in over a year. But they could not add the promotion. They said, just call, they will add it for. I should have known. Several chats and calls later I get people telling me I do not qualify because I had service in the past with XM, even though I disconnected that service over a year ago. So what is it then XM, are we lying to make up sales and then making customers go crazy trying to figure out what is what.

I was on the phone with a girl for like 4 hours just trying to get my Xfinity Essential internet to work. We have 4 coax cables at this resident i just moved to all xfinity but I had to do this long automated service to see if they coax would work it was like an hour long then the whole time I was chatting she was trying to upgrade me and it was through text messaging and she kept saying over and over and over stay in this chat it will close in 1 minute if yoy dont respond. I kept asking about my service have they found the problem it was always at some percent like 49% then she would immediately message and ask me how many lines will I use and asked a couple times because I guess I wasnt answering her questions. Then I just got fed up and said yeah I upgrade dang and again thats all she was worried about getting the mobile line on because it wasnt working so she put me in for a call back for another representative just to push something through so I had to talk to two different people two different ways. The one on the text said she found the problem with my internet and was fixing it and the lady and the phone had to be the one to tell me I needed assistance at my house. Which I figured. 

The lady through text wanted me to get on my Comcast email (which I didnt make she much have or some system did and I didnt know) well my email wouldnt work so I can get through with the free mobile line for a year. The woman on the phone was trying to help because the email would not work then she told me to end the chat with the lady because it was just getting so confusing. Oh why did I tell the chat lady that you could tell she got mad. Asking why she told me that and all kinds of things. All while constantly asking has where am I at with my email so she can get the mobile line working. The lady through the text was only worried about getting a sale and you can tell that was well known. If only ya'll could read the text. 🤦‍♀️

@user_ikz6uo This is definitely not the experience we want for our valued customers. Were you able to get your internet service working or did you still need assistance with that? Also, if you are interested in the Xfinity Mobile service, our team can help you with that. No pressure though, our priority is making sure that your services are working!

No they are not working. Apparently, I have a tech coming out tomorrow (I got my setup either Thursday or Friday). You all were booked up.

Which I had the lady on the "phone call" set it up but the lady on the "chat/text message" was saying she could fix it but never did and when I told her I'm getting someone to come out she asked if I needed someone. I guess she didn't understand my text or something. The lady on the "text" was trying to set my mobile line up (pass it through or something). Either she did or the system put my mobile line on a Comcast email  and I have a Gmail account, well the lady on the "phone" was trying to get my email open and working and yesterday I read it saying that customers will not be able to have or use Comcast email since 2024. I have a Comcast email account for my mobile line, but I'm unable to access it. So I'm not sure if I have the line or not.

The next day after the call I got a text message saying I needed to put my ID in for verification. I did it and then I got a message a little later on the Xfinity website that "XM was closed out" I have no idea what that means. So again I don't know if I've got mobile service but I do know I don't have internet service yet. Hopefully it can be fixed tomorrow.

I can definitely see how that would be frustrating, @user_ikz6uo. I would really like to follow up with you after the appointment, and make sure everything was taken care of. If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

 

To send a Direct Message, please click on the “Direct Message” (speech bubble) icon in the top-right corner of the screen, then the "Start new conversation" (pencil and paper) icon. In the section, type or select "Xfinity Support" and type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window and press Enter to send your message and initiate a live session.
