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. .

As someone who has had xfinity mobile for a few years and xfinity internet for much longer, I wouldn't do it on the last day. When it comes to Xfinity, it is very much a DIY process. You need to read all the small print and rely on yourself to be your own customer service rep manager. Then you tell the customer service rep what service you need them to do for you. And you confirm two to three times with them that they did what you asked before hanging up.

Depending on where you are transferring from, it may not transfer over in one day. They may not activate your internet account in time. Lot of possible issues. Always assume the worst and you will be ok with xfinity.

Your $300 deal looks like a better deal than $200 and is for newbies. But you probably should check to see if there is a different limitation on how long you have to keep the line.
I just went to the main website, and it's a different deal with these conditions: "$300 Prepaid Card Offer: Ends 11/21/21. For new Xfinity Internet customers adding Xfinity Mobile by 12/31/21. Must maintain the new line with an account in good standing for 90 days following line activation. Visa Prepaid Cards are issued by MetaBank®, National Association, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa® U.S.A. Inc. This card can be used anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. Prepaid card mailed to Xfinity account holder within 16-18 weeks of activation of all required services and expires in 180 days. Limited to one $300 card per account."

Xfinity you can use same gig plan for multiple lines.

Transferred my number on 30th.. lost the deal by 2 days. Got $50.
How did you get $50 within a week after you brought your own device? I thought you need to wait for 3-4 months before you actually get the $50. Isn't?

I got the SIM card before the $200 promo but haven't activated yet, will I get $200? Or maybe I should try to cancel the pending transfer and redo the transfer again?

yes. That's the real constraint for this MoneyMaker.

You need to use a recent Galaxy or IPhone 6+ I think..
does the phone activating the line needs to match IMEI? or can I use 1 phone and activate all the other lines?

yeah and then all they said was pretty much oops too bad because they can't do anything about other customer service people telling me misinformation. Basically the guy on the phone was pushing me to complete the switch and I said well I am not totally sure so I may just wait. Then he said well once you get the phone you can always just not activate it and then you don't pay!

Then all that other misinformation. And ps it was from FOUR different people telling me some of those various things I mentioned.

Anyway, so I stayed the 90 days, only got the $25 vs what is now $200, then switched to mint for 6 months at a total of $20 combined. Maybe then i will be considered a new xfinity mobile customer again? lol.

One positive is xfinity did port my number to mint in literally 1 minute.
How to get Xfinity mobile account number and pin when port out needed? Via chat/phone?

I don't think so.. i am xfinity mobile customer for past 5 years.. changed to numerous unlocked phones.. but xfinity site still shows same old phone with my number in site... so just activate it.. after that you can transfer to any phone.

If you go into your account online there was some link that said something like "cancel line" and then when you go there there was some other link that said request port out pin. (they may have been worded slightly different, but close to that).
