where to file complaint
Does anyone have information on how to file a complaint for Xfinity Mobile (XM)? I requested a Samsung A50 from XM in April, and unfortunately the phone arrived with a hairline crack across the screen. I called them the same day I received the phone to report the damage and spoke to XM rep Rudy [EDIT:EID]. He ordered a replacement that same day, (same phone), told me the $35 re-stocking fee would be waived, which it should be because I received damaged merchandise, told me how to return the phone to XM, asked for my consent to approve the exchange and told me the order went through. There was no call reference # that he could give me to refer to later, only his ID#.
Fedex came to my house on 4/20/20 at 5:53 PM to pick up the defective phone (per the tracking number it was delivered to XM 4/29/20 at 10:15 AM).
When the new phone arrived there was a problem and a rep named LaBarbara assisted with activating the replacement phone.
I foolishly thought all was well until today, 5/04/20, when I received an email from XM stating that my return had been reviewed, and I later saw a charge on my credit card for $350.00 for the defective phone!!!
I immediately started an online chat with XM on 5/04/20 at 10:00AM, with a rep named Deborah who was in Canada. After holding with her for one hour and 28 minutes while she escalated things to Tier 2, she advised she could not resolve my problem, and that I would have to call Account Verification at 844-963-0011, which I did.
My first connection with a rep after holding was horrible, and I had to hang up, call back and wait in the queue again. This time I opted for a call back as the length of the queue had grown. I received a call back from a rep named Rachel, who advised that even though I called the correct number, she was in fact "Customer Service", but as far as she could tell I was charged as if I had damaged the phone.
Rachel transferred me to another queue, and after being on hold for 52 minutes, I spoke with Byron [EDIT:EID]. He advised he would have to file a claim with Fedex to have the case "researched", that this would take from 14 to 21 days, that I would not recieve any kind of contact, but "hopefully" things would be resolved and the charge could then be reversed. Not finding this acceptable, I asked for a supervisor, and was told there was not one who could give me a different resolution. Basically, XM's Tier 3 would work with Fedex to resolve, and there was no way for me as the customer to directly escalate this problem. I asked him what would happen if Fedex denied damaging, which could in fact be true, it could have been damaged before it ever left XM, he had no response other than leaving me to undderstand that the charge would remain. This being completely unacceptable, to be charged for a phone I did not damage with no way of reversing the charge, all he could offer me was a case number for the claim filed with Fedex. This is not customer service, and I need to know how to escalate this on my own- anyone have any info on how to do that?

saying moistuer indicator is on on the a70(lies) You should call the consumer board for your state file complaint there... That's what I'm doing first because the state department doesn't make it hard to file one like Xfinity Mobile does

A website called https://fairshake.com/comcast/file-a-complaint/ includes links for 5 different ways to file a complaint, from the BBB, which I don't think anyone cares about, to Small Claims Court, contesting credit card charges, and the FCC complaint provided by another reader.
I did check the BBB website, and apparently Comcast has multiple cases with various states for over-charging or defrauding customers. Your state's consumer protection office may be another possibility. They may file a suit if there are enough complainants.
It's hard to find, but if you have a customer service problem, there is a link to report it to the office of Tom Karinshak. It says they will respond within 24 hours, but after all the time I've spent on hold, I'm not expecting it.

This is the type of service this company provides. Exactly why I won't change from Verizon to them. My parents switched and I had a similar issue early on. Now, I need a new SIM card to reactive my father's line, because my father dropped his phone in the lake and I have an older device he can use. There is no way to contact a human. And, I finally got someone in chat who could understand a simple request. This company is a hoax in my opinion. I am sorry they have essentially stolen your money. I hope you can get your issue resolved. I spent 4 hours on the phone last time trying to get my parent's issue sorted out.

My advise is to buy at an Xfinity store OR if you choose to take the chance and order online, take your unopened box to an Xfinity store and let them open it and activate it for you. I realize this would be difficult for many people because of distance to a store, but desperate times call for desperate measures to save you headaches and from being robbed.

I am having an issue with XM about my phone bill. They are claiming that I owe a bill from six months ago and they are saying that it's my fault Anyone who has XM knows that there is only a 10 day grace period and that's it. Now they want me to believe that I'm special enough to have a 6 month extension. I have called several times and I am on hold now with them telling me that no supervisor can give me a different outcome. I am on my third phone with them and have been with them for 3 years. They can't change my due date and they won't unlock the phone that is paid out because they're claiming I owe them. My billing cycle started being messed in September of last year and they see that, but won't fix it. Then he states that if I can pay my last two months (which I owe) they will unlock my paid device. THEN he backpeddles and and says they can't unlock it because of the December bill. (THAT IS NOT VALID). THE CHARGES HAD TO BE DISPUTED COLLECTIVELY BECAUSE THEY WERE ATTACHED TO ONE ANOTHER. This has been the worst experience of my life with them. This is an ongoing issue with this company. I have been paying my bill the whole 3 years I've been with them, so why would I not pay it. The supervisor was rude and tried to be disrespectful, but I was not having that. After three years It's time to say goodbye. The reception was great, but they're customer service [Edited: "Language"].

Attempting to activate my phones ending with 3366,6353 and 6041. Tried calling the support team multiple times, long wait time heard various theory that phone is locked, iPhone 8 not supported, need to visit store, need new sim etc. Visited store(Alpharetta, GA) today and and they told(including the manager) that xfinity does nto support iPhone8(it was supporting already prior switching with anoth number). Stragenly, the number ending 3366 I ca nnot make calls, text or access data for more than two weeks. Right now on hold with another person who is having hard time understanding the issue and need to check back with some one else. Its not looking good and I am almost at a point to switch out to another provider cancelling out both internet and 5 phone lines. Very poor technical support team's knowledge base and lack of escalatio menthods noticed. And fnally the support executive just vanishes while I kep on saying hello..hello.. rediculous support team..

Xfinity Technical Support is very poor. Supervisor OFLA hung up on me. Supervisor CHEF had me waiting for 1:45 mins and then hung up on me. Horrible company

Feels like a crew of toddlers work for XM... after two days and counting, still don't have my new sim card activated. Something that takes minutes with other providers, xfinity cannot fix in days. I can assume they have highly incompetent staff members, that have no clue what they are doing. Extremely frustrating...

Hello, Im very shocked by their sales representative practices when I decided to switch from my previous mobile provider the sales representative informed me that :
The phones will be unloked as it was a condition to switch
My home bill (with xfinity) will drop from 40$ to 30$ since It's a promotion to encourage customer to suscribe to xfinity mobile , made sense
Unfortunately to my surprise both statements were lies and good luck making your point with the phone representatives, called ,waited 2 hrs for supervisors ,hung up on me after multiple attempts...their techniques are there to discourage you for asking for your dues...felt like I was dealing with scam company. My problem has not been solved. Xfinity stay away from it!
