Looks like you can't make changes to this plan. Please contact the account owner to continue.

Hi Comcast,

I am experiencing the same issue as these posts:

Almost all useful features on Xfinity are not available to me. I cannot begin a new service. I chatted with a representative on Ask Xfinity and they weren't able to resolve the problem either.

Attempting to create a new profile on a private browser as suggested by an Xfinity employee from link 5 does not work. Once I input my phone number I get the same error message and I am unable to continue in account creation. 

What is the solution?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. your developers ought to find a permanent solution.

Welcome to our community forum, @user_48ca73! I use the online account to manage my service all the time so I'd be upset if I didn't have the options available that I needed. Rest assured, you've reached the perfect team for help and we'll stick with you here until we get this figured out :). Is your profile listed as the Primary? If not, you will need to log in as the Primary to have access to all account features. You can use this helpful link to find your Primary username in case you are using a different one.

Hello @user_a8c504! Can you direct message us your name and address, please? Make sure you are signed in with your Xfinity credentials.

  1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon
  2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)
  4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!
