Message button not showing number of incoming messages You have to do a reset. Go to settings and then down to reset. Select Reset all settings. That should do it. I had this problem and this corrected it. It was on a iPhone SE.

No I haven’t seen or heard of an app like that either. I would like Xifinty to show this information, (gb.mb) on the Xifinty Mobile app. The Xfinify app where you can check your billing, activity, devices and support instead of .1 gb. I would like to know how much actual data I used. And I am sure XM has this information.

I understand how billing works. I would like to know how much actual data I have used. My suggestion is to show data used as gb.mg not as .1 gb. That way you would know as close to real time how much data you used.

Wouldn’t it be nice if XM could show how much data you used as gb and mb. Example same as dollars and cents. Instead of .1 gb show it as .055 mb used. Or if you go over the .1 gb show the usage as .857 mb to show how much data you used before you go into the next billing tier ie 1.945, 1gb 945mb. I am sure that XM has this information because that’s how they bill your account. I think it would be very easy for them to show this on their XFINITY App.

I also am waiting for any information about BYOD Android. Like you said in the beginning of the year there was a lot of discussion of when BYOD Android would be announced. As I remember it was going to be sometime this year. I have a perfectly good MOTO that I would like to add to my account. I tried my SIM card in it and it seems to work. I have an iPhone on XFINITY and I like that I can read my texts and answer my phone on my iPad, but I miss my MOTO.

I have been a XM customer since November. I haven’t had any problems with my iPhone or service with Xfinity. I only use the iPhone for talk and text. I am on the by-the-gig plan and have not yet exceeded my monthly allowance. So my billing is only for the monthly price of the iPhone SE and taxes. The monthly taxes are in the neighborhood of $2.20 and $14.59 for the SE. Hope this helps you. The only thing that I would like to see is real time data usage so that you know how much data you’re using.

Hi Lakino
My iPad is only WiFi so as long as I have an internet connection I will be ok.
iMessages come in blue and regular messages come in green. So if I see someone sending
me a iMessage I will know what to do. Thanks for your help.

So as long as I am on WiFi sending MMS either regular message or iMessage with
the cellular data button on I will not incur data charges. I would only incur charges if
I was on cellular not WiFi. Is this correct?

Hi Ken
Cellular is on I have 4 bars. I am not talking about cellular I am questioning the button cellular data in settings. I need the button cellular data turned on to send a MMS via a WiFi connection, regular message not iMessage. Do I need the cellular data button on to send iMessage MMS via WiFi?
If iMessage MMS sent WiFi will I incur data charges. I just don’t understand Xfinity message iMessage’s will count as data.

I use my phone mostly in my home on WiFi. I know that to send a regular MMS not iMessage, I need cellular data turned on when connected by WiFi. If I don’t have cellular data turned on I get a message not sent. What about iMessage’s, do I need cellular data turned on when connected by WiFi? This is what I don’t understand, I need cellular data turned on even though I am on WiFi to send MMS.

Hi ComcastKenF I understand if I am on WiFi at home I will not use any data sending an iMessage. What about sending an iMessage with a pic MMS? Also do I need to have cellular data turned on or off to send an iMessage with a pic? I know that if I send a message with a pic MMS (not iMessage) it has to be on. Should cellular data be left on or off? What’s the point of cellular data?

From Xfinity
Text away! Your text messages—including SMS and MMS—are covered in the unlimited nationwide texting that's included with all XFINITY Mobile lines. They do not count toward your data usage. If you're an iPhone user, your iMessages do count as data.
IF YOU’RE AN iPHONE USER, YOUR iMESSAGES DO COUNT AS DATA? LAST LINE.
If Xfinity sells iPhones why should you be charged for using data on a phone you purchased, if you have iMessage turned on?
How much data do you use sending an iMessage? Is it sent by cellular or WiFi?
Also I have a question about Cellular Data, should it be on or off? I know that you cannot send MMS unless it is on. This is my first iPhone and I have a iPad so I would like to leave iMessage on but I don’t want to use my data up.

Thank you Mike. I just checked my phone data and you are correct. It shows a MMS message going to my other phone and the data did not increase. I will send some pics of the snowstorm in NJ to my family over Xfinity and check my data later. I think my question has been answered. Just keep iMessage turned off.

Hi SRG Just reviewed the thread you suggested. It was interesting and informative but I didn’t see any answers to my question. I hope your right that they don’t count toward your GB usage. I just wish I could get an answer from Xfinity. I sent a text to Xfinity’s support but I didn’t get a reply yet. Maybe a Xfinity rep will see this and be able to help.

Thank you SRG I will try with cellular data on. I will try to send a pic to my moto.
The pix and text went through
I just checked my data usage and it now shows 0.1GB before it was 0 GB
I thought Xfinity Mobile said use all the text and data text away
From now on I will not be using Xfinity Mobile for data text

Can anyone with a iPhone help me

Thanks for your reply. This is my first iPhone and don’t understand all the differences between the iPhone options so, I think my answer is to turn off iMessage and then I can send as MMS on WiFi or cellular is that right?

I have a second phone on Trackfone and I don’t use data sending a text with a pix.
If I send a text with a photo do I use data?
I have asked this question every time I speak with Xfinity reps some say yes and some say no.
I have cellular data turned off.
