Xfinity App is not compatible with my phone.

So...the Xfinity app is the only way to activate my modem?

Thank you for using the Xfinity Forums to check for additional options to activate your gateway. The Xfinity app is our recommended approach because of how easy the process is, but it isn't the only option available. A care agent can assist, and I can certainly help with it! You've reached the right place.


I noticed your post is a couple of days old, do you still need help activating your Xfinity gateway today?

Not today, but, I am moving on Saturday the 31st and will need to activate it then.

Try calling 1-855-652-3446. That is their self-install device activation line. Have the RF / CM / HFC MAC address and the serial number of it handy when you call. Good luck !
