@HD-Tech wrote: Frustrating weekend of dropped calls and/or calls that dont connect this weekend.  I literally called my wife 8 times in a row in back to back succession and the first case was immediate failed call.  The remaining 7 times were cases where the call rang on my phone for the full number of rings and then went to VM (which I didnt leave).   Upon checking my wifes phone and call log a few minutes later, not a single one of her calls rang on her side.    WOW.  THANK GOD IT WASNT AN EMERGENCY.  Come on Comcast, step up here and actually try.  This is absolutely rediculous  This was the same thing that happened to me. I signed up for Xfinity mobile on a new iPhone SE last year and for 6 months, everything was fine. Then all of a sudden, I got those same isses. Calls wouldn't go out (call failed) or they would go right to voicemail. Some SMS texts wouldn't go through even though I never got an error on my side. It wasn't consistent, but I would get at least one of those problems once a week.   Finally, I got tired of dealing with it and had my phone unlocked and ported it to T-Mobile prepaid. Everything started working again. No issues whatsoever. I still believe it's something on Comcast's end or something with how Verizon MVNOs operate because I never had a problem being on Verizon prepaid before going to Xfinity mobile.   The only thing that did work was data, so web browsing and iMessage texts were fine. So I'd say if anyone can't move from Xfinity mobile right away, try using a 3rd party calling service like Google Voice or something like that without linking it to your phone number. It's not convenient, but at least you'll have something to fall back on if your calls can't go out. ... View more

I've also been starting to experience similar problems on my iPhone SE about two month ago. Usually what will happen is that things will work fine for a bit and then one day I'll have problems either making calls or getting calls. The errors when making calls will usually either be a call failed message or the number will ring two times and then go to voicemail. It happens whether it's on Wi-Fi or on a tower.   The fix I've had to do is play the switcharoo game of forcing the phone on wifi, trying to call, forcing it off wi-fi and turning off wi-fi calling, trying again, and then rebooting the phone. If the problem happens when someone makes a call, they either get sent to my voicemail or they just get dead air.   Unfortunately, I had this problem happen when I had a phone interview. I was lucky they were patient, but some other people might not be so fortunate. ... View more

There was another post from a Comcast rep somewhere that said the holdup was due to their billing system. So, maybe something will start moving once the billing system is upgraded in November. But yeah, it's kind of annoying that you can't even BYOD an existing Xfinity Android device. Pretty much every MVNO I've seen allows you to port over an Android device. ... View more
