Invite friends and family encounters You can't make this change right now

Hi, 

When I try to click invite friends and family under account and identity, it brings me to the page

You can't make this change right now

We need to verify your contact information to keep your account secure. Make sure to add your phone number and email address if you haven't already.

It provides link to my contact info page, but I have both phone number and email updated and verified I believe. 

I tried remove cache of the browser, not helping. 
My phone number and email was updated yesterday. I waited until today to try again just in case the database takes some time, but today the problem still exists.

Thank you for reaching out to us here on the Xfinity Forum.  I appreciate the steps you have attempted already to add your family and friends.

 

I am here to help you resolve this issue, you are in good hands.

 

Thank you for clearing your cache and cookies, sometimes that does get in the way.  I have two questions as we get started:

 

-Have you tried a different browser to do this? (Chrome, Firefox or Edge)

-Do you currently have a VPN running on your computer?

 

Thank you!

I tried Firefox first which does not get to that page, but instead constantly letting me re-enter my account email and password, and confirm the service location (my address is the only one, I don't have multiple places), and then loop back to entering email and password. 

Then I switch to safari which gives me this "you cannot change..." page. I cleaned safari's cache and still the same. 

I don't use VPN.  

I can try clean up firefox's cache and see if it helps.

Now clean up Firefox's cache and it behaves the same as safari.

Thanks for trying all that!  Let me ask, have you tried adding them using the Xfinity App?  

 

I do everything on my phone and the App can do so much!  Can you give that a try please?  I am going to see what other solutions I may find.  Thanks so much for working with me!

I don't see the invite friends and family option on the app under account and identity... 
but at least it allows me to update phone number and email. I was not able to change phone number of email on the website. They also leads to "you can't change..." on the website when I am trying to update phone number or email.

If you go to the account section once you are in the app, you should see Roles and Permissions.  When you click on that, something should pop up at the bottom, where you will see "add someone".  It will then ask you to verify your identity.   This will then take you to four steps, the first being "who do you want to add to your account?".  

 

Let me know if you see that on the app?  Thank you!
