Question   I keep getting a lot of unwanted phone calls. How do I make this stop?   Answer   Blocking of Calls to 900/976 Numbers All calls to 900/976 numbers are automatically blocked.

Telephone numbers beginning with area codes 900, 500, 700, or 976. Telephone numbers with extension 555. 911 telephone numbers. 411 telephone numbers. Long distance numbers may be added to your list. Enter the 10-digit number to block the number (area code seven-digit number); do not enter a 1 at the beginning of the number. Call Screening cannot be turned on unless there is at least one number on your Call Screening list. Call Screening does not rely on Caller ID to operate; inbound callers who have blocked their Caller ID will still be blocked. The Call Screening feature takes priority over other features such as Anonymous Call Rejection and Call Forwarding. For example: If you have Anonymous Call Rejection activated, a caller from a number on your Call Screening list will receive a message stating you are not available instead of receiving a message requesting that the Caller ID information be unblocked. If you have Call Forwarding activated, a caller from a number on your Call Screening list will receive a message stating you are not available, and the call will not be forwarded.     Do Not Call List Comcast strives to honor requests for privacy with regard to promotional or sales communications.

XFINITY Mobile is a new wireless service designed for the way people use their phones today, with the Internet and data at the center of the experience.

 No dial tone on your phone? Here is what you can do to fix it.     Try This First If you're experiencing trouble with your phone service (such as you don't have a dial tone or you can't break it), please check to make sure all phones are on the hook and that cordless phone batteries are charged. Still Having Issues? Please follow the suggestions below to try and restore service: Try to plug a working corded phone into different jacks to find out if the issue is isolated to one phone or jack. Plug the phone directly into your Xfinity Voice modem to determine if the issue may be related to the wiring inside your home. If you have two phone numbers with Xfinity Voice service, and only one is working, please   contact us. Check the lights on your digital voice modem (see below). Depending on the light sequence displaying, you may need to reset your modem.     What the Lights on Your Xfinity Voice Modem Mean An Xfinity Voice modem combines your cable modem and analog telephone adapter. The lights on the modem indicate different functions; this explains what they mean. Note: Here is a typical modem diagram: Below are descriptions of these lights. Telephone 1 or Telephone 2 A solid light indicates the phone(s) are on the hook. A flashing light indicates a phone is off the hook. If the light is off, you'll need to reset the Xfinity Voice modem. See   reset your modem for Xfinity Internet or Xfinity Voice for instructions. If the light is flashing very slowly, please   chat with us.     Battery 1 or Battery 2 If your Xfinity Voice modem is equipped with two battery slots, only one battery is needed in order to receive up to eight hours of backup power. One of the battery lights should be solid if the battery is good and connected properly. Your connection should not be affected by the status of the battery lights as long as you have power to the modem*. If the battery light is   off   and you have a backup battery inserted into the modem or connected to your modem (depends on modem model), make sure the battery is securely connected to the modem. If you do not have a backup battery installed, this light will remain off. If the light is   flashing, your battery is depleted and may not provide backup power in the event of an outage. A backup battery can be installed in your Xfinity Voice modem to provide additional hours of service during a power outage. If your battery is missing or depleted and you would like to purchase a new one,   find out more information on purchasing a battery. Xfinity Voice Service Interruption *If Xfinity Voice service is interrupted as a result of downed cables connecting to your home or cuts to other portions of our network (as can happen in cases of severe storms), the service will not function until those facilities are restored. Depending on the specific facilities impacted, traditional phone providers may be affected.

Question   Why am I getting calls with my name and telephone number on my caller ID?     Answer   I can tell you that I have had similar instances of this occurring on both my cellular phone and home phone. There seems to be a "spoofing" scam where fraudsters are using your own number to call you and others.    The FTC has a a fantastic article about these type of calls and the actions that you can do to protect yourself (article found here:   https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2015/07/getting-calls-your-own-number).   Per that article:   "Bottom line? These calls from your own number are illegal. Don’t pick up — or press buttons to be taken off the call list or to talk to a live person. That just leads to more calls. It’s best to ignore them, and move on with your day."   Unfortunately Comcast cannot stop these actions from happening, but we do have some calling features that can help to combat these type of unwanted calls.    For Xfinity Home Phones To Activate Call Screening Lift the receiver and listen for the dial tone. Press   *60. Follow the prompts to activate the feature and to add, delete or review the numbers on your list. When creating your list, include the area code for local and long distance numbers. To block calls from the last number that called you, press   #   when prompted.   (More details about stopping unwanted calls can be found here: https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Phone/ANSWERED-How-to-stop-unwanted-calls/ta-p/3170369)   For Xfinity Cell Phones  Blocking numbers on iPhones Go to your Phone icon. If you've saved the number in your phone, go to the contact and scroll down to select "Block this Caller." If the number is in your recent calls, select the blue "i" icon and scroll down to select "Block this Caller."   Blocking numbers on Android phones Go to your Phone icon. Go to your recent calls, or your contacts list if you've saved the number already. Depending on which Android phone you have, select More, Details, or an icon with three vertical dots. Then, select Block.   We also always recommend that you report these type of calls (every instance) to the FTC and/or FCC; their information can be found in the article listed above.

International calling plans apply at the account level. One calling plan applies to all lines on your account. How is the per-minute charge calculated?  Usage is billed to the whole minute and rounded up. For example, a one minute plus one second call is billed at two minutes. What happens if I add the calling plan partway through my billing cycle? When you add a calling plan during the middle of the billing cycle: Calls made before the date the calling plan was added are charged at the regular rate. You receive the full block of time (BOT) for use throughout the end of your billing cycle. Note: The BOT begins and cuts off two days before the billing cycle date. What happens if I use more than the block of time (BOT) allowed?  If you exceed your BOT, you will be billed at the regular international per-minute rates for each overage minute. Refer to the   international calling site   for more information. Note:   Some call plans have discounted per-minute rates for each termination type (e.g., Carefree Minutes Latin America 300 and Carefree Minutes World Select 300).   Can unused minutes be carried over to the next billing cycle? No. Unused minutes do not roll over to the next billing cycle. Is there a way for me to track how many minutes I have used? Yes. Follow the steps below: Log in to My Account at   https://customer.xfinity.com   with your Xfinity username and password. Select the   Billing   tab at the top of the page and click   View call log   at the bottom of the page.   Select   Unbilled Activity   from the drop-down to view your international long distance calling plan's used minutes and minutes remaining.   Where can I view my call detail? Carefree Minutes usage displays on the bill similar to domestic long distance calls. You can view your detailed bill online by logging in to My Account at https://customer.xfinity.com with your Xfinity username and password. Select the Billing tab and click View call log at the bottom of the page. From the drop-down, select Unbilled Activity to view your international long distance calling plan's used minutes and minutes remaining. With the Carefree Minutes Latin America 300 plan, will the mobile minutes count against the block of time (BOT) allocation?
