Although it states unknown, CCT is Comcast/Xfinity firmware. When the Pie update becomes available it will pop up on this page likely before anywhere else. Don't waste time manually updating twice a day, wait until it shows up here.

I just want to warn everybody about manually updating - if you haven't done it before and/or don't know what you're doing, DON"T TRY IT. It's certainly not rocket science but if you don't know what you're doing you have a real chance of "bricking" your brand new Note. Also, some carrier features may or may not work anymore on non-official software
As for the suggestion above of manually checking for updates when there's nothing there, that's a typical worthless Xfinity response. If you spin around 5 times and say abracadabra the update will magically appear. Trust me.

I've got the MMS bug on my S9+ and i really wish they would fix it.
I got the Pie/OneUI update a month ago and IMO they released it a little too early, Oreo was working 100% fine and I would have been happy waiting for a bug free update. Pie has a lot of great features but at this point it's got too many bugs on Samsung 9 series devices.

Verizon Note 9 has not updated to Pie/OneUI yet and is still on the December security patch, same as XM. The firmware updates are very closely related to each other and although XM updated the S9/S9+ a couple of days before Verizon, in every other case Verizon has pushed out an update XM follows a couple of days later. There must be an issue with the Verizon branded Note 9 and Pie that they are working on and I don't believe XM will update until Verizon gives them the all clear.
The Samsung 9 series and Pie are still very much in the development stage and hopefully Samsung will push out monthly bug fixes to address some of the issues that many S9/S9+ useres are experiencing.

How about that, Xfinity beats all the other US carriers with the Pie update!
Available as of January 28th, if you want it and it hasn't downloaded yet manually check for updates and it should pop right up.

There is no need for wi-fi calling unless you are in an area with little to no signal, only in that case is it useful.
Also, you are never billed data usage for phone calls. whether you are on Wi-fi, CDMA or VoLTE.

Go to your mobile account home page, click on devices near the top and click on make a payment. It will show you how much is still owed on the phone and you can make a partial or full payment there.

BYOD = bring your own device, the wording confused me.
If the two new phones you purchased (and ported numbers to) were not an Apple or Samsung device, you received what you were owed at $150 per phone/line. If they were an Apple or Samsung device you woud be owed more. I suspect it's the former and that you received what was promised.

I also agree that t here needs to be a more precise billing data total, Xfinity has this info and I don't understand why it would be so hard to tie this to your online account like every other major carrier.
M aybe someday.

BYOD was $150 per device so you're all set, never was $300 per.
Sometimes the rebate center is messed up, mine showed gift cards that I was never entitled to and they were cancelled out eventually.

If you go to Settings > Notifications is the voicemail app checked on? If it is try unchecking it, restart the phone and turn it back on.
Also, you should/will recieve notifications whether you are on wifi or cellular.

I automatically received the software update overnight on my S9+ so it should be available to all S9/S9+ models. If you have not received it yet, perfrom a manual update and it should pop right up.

No need to say sorry, I assumed it was a S8 since she received the update. Just wanted to make sure as nobody on this thread with a S9 or S9+ has gotten it yet.

Why are the S8 models getting an update before the S9 models? The S8 is not even listed as having wifi calling available yet and the S9/S9+ are listed as of having it 6 days ago...

There was no update rolled out on October 29th and it is still not rolled out as of November 2nd at 4:00 am. If it was rolled out you could force push it to your device by manually checking for updates which currently shows nothing available.
I'll believe it when I see it.

No, there are no links to that deal, they were located at https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/ which will only show you the current deals available.

I know all that and you failed to answer my question in the pm I sent.
Are the updates provided directly from Verizon or Xfinity Mobile?
My device is not unlocked so I'm not getting anything from Samsung. They release the update to the carriers to allow them to test/customize it for their devices and then it is released through the carriers. It's either Verizon or Xfiinity Mobile.

I had assumed that we were on the Verizon schedule as I would always get a firmware update a day or two after Verizon released them. With the October patch, Verizon released it over a week ago and I still have not received it (automatically or manually) for my Samsung S9+. So now I'm thinking that we're not on the Verozon schedule and that Xfinity Mobile is actually the one pushing them out? Not complaining, as I don't think these security updates every month are all that urgent but I would like to know for future reference.
Does anybody have a definitive answer on this?

You were lucky to get the $100, the terms clearly state that you need to port an existing number to qualify for the gift card. I'm amazed at how many people on this board don't bother to take a minute to read the terms instead of simply accepting a verbal agreement from somebody who obviously did not know whay they were talking about. gderf is right on here.
I received my gift card (and spent it!) before the 90 days were even up, so no, it is not a scam.

I’m 100% happy with Xfinity Mobile and with Xfinity in general.
Purchased a Samsung S9+ by the month with a by the gig plan and still saving a large amount of money over paying Verizon for just a 1g plan with my old S5. When I received the phone and ported the number over it was completely set up from the get go. Voicemail was already set up with the standard greeting (which is what I wanted) and all I had to do was transfer contacts and photos from the old phone. It has worked perfectly for over two months now and I don’t expect any changes in the future.
I do know a couple of people who brought over their Apple phones and they had some small problems which they got sorted out, they are happy now. If you buy your phone from Xfinity you shouldn’t experience any problems at all.

As far as I know a $200 rebate was only offered for Samsung phones (and Apple BYOD) when you made the purchase, is that what you ordered? There is a $150 rebate on the lower priced Android phones (can’t remember if it was Motorola or LG or both) recently that went into effect after the Samsung deal was over (believe June 24) which is still going on. The Samsung rebate is now $300. If you did not purchase a Samsung phone then I don’t know what you could do, if you were told that a different phone qualified for the rebate then the rep didn’t know what they were talking about - a recurring theme here. Have you checked the rewards site? If you put in your main Xfinity account number and it shows that you are eligible for a rebate then you should be ok. If not, you’re not going to get a rebate. The rewards site is definitive, calling them is not and will get you nowhere. This will also show if the phone your husband purchased is eligible for a rebate.

Dan, Aren't all calls to Xfinity recorded and monitored? This salesperson outright lied. She even gave me her direct line to call her back after the first initial call. I called her right back on it as soon as I called Verizon.
The need to have a $45 unlimited plan is patently untrue, that guy doesn't know what he was talking about.
You did port your same number from Verizon to Xfinity, correct? If not, that's why you were told that you are ineligible for the promotion as it is a requirement of the rebate. If the phone you chose was not eligible for the promotion then yes, you were lied to but more likely is that the rep didn't know what they were talking about.

Triple (or Quad) Play package has to be Preferred or above to qualify for this deal.
I received mine a couple weeks ago and have been very pleased with it, never felt the need for a tablet but I have found it very useful.
