This is untrue. I recently got the free iPhone SE 3 from Xfinity and the SIM and phone were separate. I didn't have to insert the sim into the phone to activate it at all. In fact, you can activate the SIM once it ships. You don't need to have either the phone or SIM in hand to activate it.

You also don't get nagging e-mails about using a different phone. It's only noted in your account under devices. I've never received an e-mail or text from Xfinity telling me I'm using a different phone.



You can sell the phone to another Xfinity Mobile user, you just have to let them know that the phone is tied to your account for 2 years. They can't use the phone to activate a new line, but they can use it on an already activated line.

You can also use the phone as a trade-in with another carrier. A lot of carriers don't require the phone to be unlocked for trade-ins.
You're like VERY certain I can use a different phone and still get the bill credits for the pixel? I just want to make sure before I do it and lose the money.

I was stuck on 5 mobile + 1 tablet line for a long time; almost 3 years, whenever I tried to add a line I was told that I was at the maximum approved, even though website says upto 10. Spoke to XM customer service many times but never got any reason / explanation

Last year when Comcast had the "$30 off internet if you add a line promo" - I applied for that; initially ran into the same issue, but this time contact was with the Xfinity Internet side customer rep (since I was talking about the internet); he escalated to a higher level CS person who reviewed my account and raised the limit to 10.

You may need to find a way to escalate; if the CS tells you that you are at max approved, ask to speak to their supervisor / manager, and go up till you find a person who has the authority to raise the number of eligible lines.
Thanks for this info, I will give it a try. Escalate, escalate!

They really don't want to show you plan costs easily but it looks like 3GB would be $30/month per line which is insanely expensive in this day and age. Since it's about double what other providers offer you are simply getting a phone for $360 on a payment plan. Chances of bloatware are high as well.
Xfinity mobile has no bloatware in my experience.

Most of the plans are actually pretty competitive if you don't use/want a ton a data. Data is bullied as shared data and this is a good option for seniors who may not use much data!

Yes, I'm using an Android phone on my free iPhone line and I'm still getting bill credits.

It doesn't make sense for Xfinity to stop bill credits just because you're using a different phone. The goal of the free phone is to tie you Xfinity for 2 years. They don't care what phone you use as long as it works with Xfinity.

Has anyone tried porting out their Xfinity landline number to Xfinity Mobile? How much did your bundled bill go down?

I'm currently on a Quad-play and looking to ditch the landline to lower the monthly bill. The decrease in bill might be enough to offset the new $15 by-the-gig plan with a new phone.

Going to depend on your contract and local area, call them.

Does anyone know how long do you have to wait If you port out a number from xfinity? I mean for the same number to be eligible to port in (for a free phone or for $100).

Yes you can use a different phone.

User Deviltaz's experience on the "nag" factor is different from mine; but that said, I have switched sims to other phones and been able to keep using it.

The only catch I've found is with regard to the phone being locked (which means you can't use other carriers); tied to your Xfinity account (which means selling to someone else to use on a Verizon MVNO isn't possible); about the only possible way to still use it is on yet another line or account on XM itself. Or keeping it unused until the 24 months are over and then getting it unlocked.

Thanks for confirming! Someone else here had mentioned Xfinity's customer service being less than stellar but that's a risk worth taking I think. Now to figure out if my 80 yo dad's Kyocera DURA XV flip phone will work with XM. Hopefully since it's all Verizon's network popping in the XM SIM would do the trick.
Yes all Verizon phone work perfectly. Everyone poopoo Xfinity, but their mobile plan is the best. It's the closest thing to a formal carrier plan as you can get. Man MVNO plans don't have wifi callling or VoLTE. XM is basically Verizon without any downgrades.
