You actually don't even need the phone at all. Sounds weird, but as long as you enter an IMEI that passes their compatibility check and qualifies you for the promo, you can just order the SIM and then activate it online. No need to put the sim into a phone at all to activate it. Once it is activated online the service is started, and that is what counts for the 90 days of active service terms.

True story, for this promo I used the IMEI of an iPhone 12 that I got from visible and had already sold(!), but still had the IMEI written down somewhere, and used that to pass the compatibility check and order the SIM card. Once I got the shipping confirmation the next day, I activated my service online (select "I already rec'd my SIM card'), and ported in my expiring Tello number...all before receiving the physical SIM card, which looks like it will be delivered tomorrow.

I've done this BYOD promo several times over the years and never had a problem receiving the git card. They don't check if you are actually using the SIM or phone it was signed up with, just that you have the active line and are paying the bills. Of course, YMMV!
I looked at their site and do not see any option for talk/text only. I also see that you must have Xfinity internet, so many of us do not have any options with them. For those of you who do, sounds like a nice deal.
I used google voice number in the past for BYOD promo and always work. you need to unlock your google voice number from google unlock page [google.com] and pay $3. I recommended to change your voicemail PIN in the google voice setting. This is going to be used by mobile provider for porting. After you complete the unlocking of your GV number, go to xfinity website and place the BYOD order. You should be able to select google voice as your carrier and select "keep my number" to use your GV number. Xfinity will send you the sim card. The porting process start once you receive your sim card and start the activation process. It may take few days to complete the activation. As long as you provide the GV number account information correctly including the PIN (use GV number if you never setup PIN), the porting should be smooth and easy. At the end you need only to pay extra $2 per month for an additional line within the shared plan. .

Don't use fast.com as that will tell you what video speeds you get since it is hosted by netflix. Regular internet speeds will be much faster usually.

Use speedtest.net or something like that to get a full impression of the speeds you can get for anything other than video.

For video the xfinity unlimited plans are sd video streaming so you'll see the same 1.7Mbps. By the gig will be faster but obviously limited data.
Thank you. You're right I got better numbers on Speedtest. I'm sitting at about 3-5 Mbps after a few tests. Does XM have better speeds or are they deprioritized like Verizon Unlimited Start plan?

Comcast has a line fee charge of $25/mo that is waived while you maintain being a Comcast internet customer while being serviced by XM

How many lines can I have on my account

As a new Xfinity Mobile customer, you may be eligible for up five lines based on a credit check or your history as an Xfinity Internet customer. Once you've established a billing history with Xfinity Mobile, you may become eligible for up to 10 lines. You'll be notified by email if you become eligible for additional lines.

tl:dr; You can start the porting process BEFORE you receive the physical SIM card from XM

My Tello account expires in about 5 days, so I was cutting it close in order to port the number before the plan ends. But I got my SIM card shipping confirmation about an hour ago, so I logged into my XM account online and started the activation process for the new line. For Tello, you will need your account number (you can get that in your tello account) and PIN which is 0000. During the activation process I had selected "Other/Not sure" as the carrier, entered the number I was porting and the required account number and PIN 0000. Only took about 5 minutes and I got the confirmation screen that my number was transferred. I logged into my tello account and the line was removed from my account there.
Thanks for this information. I think I won't be receiving my SIM card before the new billing cycle starts with my current carrier. Was wondering what if I go to a nearby Xfinity store and try to pick up the SIM card there instead of the delivery.

If you order online you can generally expect a shipping confirmation within 1 day from my experience. As soon as you get the shipping confirmation you can start the activation process online. They don't ask for the sim card number or anything. If that's still too tight, then Yes I believe you can just go into the store and have them handle the byod/promo for you and give you a sim to activate in the spot. Good luck!

Been bouncing some spare phones between Ting, Visible, and Xfinity Mobile for almost two years now. It's a great way to monetize those old phones.

Unlocked Fold3 is not eligible. Too new of a model to be in their system to port in. But xfinity branded fold3 is ok.

You can do the $15 shared by the gig plan and have multiple lines on it. Turn off data and all you'll get charged are taxes and fees which is around $2.5 per line Chicago suburbs.

Good find OP. I saw this tonight too but you beat me to it posting it here. Repped.
Not anymore. That was only for the early people who signed up a long time ago. Now whether you sue data or not you get charged $15.

Don't believe anything xfinity tells you if you haven't seen it in writing.

They told me if I signed up and changed my mind before activating the phone it wouldn't start. I kept the phone for weeks before activating... It had started my cycle from weeks before I activated.

They told me that I could go to the store and get a sim card even though a shipped one was on the way. I walked in rain and then got told oops no you cant do it, it's too early.

Before I activated, I told them they changed $25 promotion to $50 and asked if I activate can i get the $50. They said yes, I activated, they sent me the $25 and then said oh well nothing they could do about someone lying to me that I'd get the $50.

So I moved on to mint for 6 months at $20 total combined ($45 plus tax minus almost $30 for sellig the free guy steelbook).

And of course they changed $25 to $50 and now $200. lol. So my timing was way off, getting $175 less than now.
