Issues activating iPhone

I'm an existing Xfinity Mobile customer. I purchased a new iPhone 14 Pro Max through Xfinity to replace my Samsung Galaxy phone. When I attempted to activate the phone yesterday, it said I was going to be texted a code that I had to type in in order to proceed with the activation. However the codes did not come through, so i clicked the send me a new code option a few times, eventually I started to receive codes, however it said they were invalid and eventually said too many incorrect tries and I would have to contact support for the activation.

I contacted chat support, on my first contact with them, the agent sent me an article and told me to follow it, they did not seem to understand my situation, also I noticed after that first contact when I pull up the iPhone under devices it now says New Number, I'm a little worried about this, as I want to transfer my existing number

On my next contact with chat support, I was told there was a "BPM Hold" on my account and it would take 7-10 days for them to resolve it, this seems like an excessive amount of time. I also didn't receive anything like a confirmation email or anything to confirm that someone is actually working on it.

I tried to call yesterday evening, after waiting I was connected to an agent. I explained my issue, they said they were placing me on hold while they looked into it. After waiting on hold for a few minutes I was transferred back to the call queue without warning. I tried waiting awhile longer, but the wait time kept climbing, and when it was exceeding 1 hour I gave up.

Is there any other way for me to get some support on this short of going to an Xfinity store? That will require a 30 mile drive so it is something I would prefer to avoid.

Thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums @user_MJ919. I am sorry to hear you have had trouble activating the new phone. Certainly this is not the experience we hope our customers have.

I am facing the similar issue right now. Did you get your number transferred eventually? This is pathetic customer service overall with no clarity on the process.

@user_9bb5bc​ I broke down and drove to the xfinity store. The associate resolved the issue in 15 minutes

I also have similar issue and the customer service is blackmailing me into not calling then for follow-up as every time I call the resolution time is 7 days from my call, WTH
I hope, right people look into this, never had such issue with any other carrier
