If you plan to try out US Mobile, nothing to pay
So do we need to actually pay for a plan or can we use the 10 day free trial and no need to do any airtime purchase? As far phone compatibility do we really need it to complete port or that is just necessary if we want to actually use the service on a phone. But if we just want to do a port in with them and cancel the line on other carrier we can just complete those steps and it should port out? Have you done this before with US Mobile?

desi_babu_2010so on chat they simply cancel the lines?

is it done immediately ?

and u can verify it online account?

i see the value in not involving a human, (stay under radar), so porting out is best.

but it adds cost that may be unnecessary.
Yes.
Easy peasy.
​It just took like 30 min.
Be sure to look at your account billing to see when your month ends.
I went by the due date, so I still had another bill to pay.

The cancellation was fine.
Dealing with Xfinity to get my 5x$200 was a PITA.
You'd think the system would honor the activation and $200 bonus automatically.
Nope.
I had to call once, and they had to elevate a ticket.
I still didn't get all of my $200 bonuses, but I didn't have time to deal with calling them and staying on line. I got a different bonus (opening a line), so it made up for the missing port bonuses. I think I was short $150, but in the end, I still made out, so I moved on.

Which is the cheapest and quickest way to port out a line?

Can someone explain how a port out works to a carriet that uses eSIM? When carriers talk about using eSiM instead of regular SIM when porting in does it even matter what phone IMEI we use or does the phone be compatible to work with eSIM? Can we just do the port in with eSIM and not really need the actual phone since we just want to cancel the line and not really use it with the new carrier?
My parents just ported their ATT numbers to an eSIM on xfinity mobile. There is an IMEI that is associated with the eSIM that you give to xfinity mobile. They use that to activate your phone on their network by sending a notification to it via Wi-Fi. So yes, you do need the actual phone with you to accept the message and activate the eSIM. This is not specific to xfinity mobile, I went through a similar process activating an eSIM on TMobile.

So exactly how much profit would there be per line after keeping service for so many months? Is it worth to do this and makes sense to do multiple lines?
Roughly about $160 depends on your state taxes and how you can find cheap numbers to port in. I think it's worth doing with multiple lines (maximize it) if you already have xfinity internet.

Is that per line? But aren't you paying like $15/mo +taxes for like 4-5 months per line plus other fees for new numbers to port in and port out? So wouldn't that be around $65-$80 in costs..so figure around $135-$120 net profit?

So if you do say 5 lines how do you get around the issue with needing 5 compatible devices for those 5 lines? Don't they require 5 different IMEIs and a unique one for each line opened?

That $160 is profit per line. The $15/gig is shared plan. You can have 5 or 10 lines sharing same $15/gig plan.
$15 + $2.xx or $3.xx each line. I pay about $28/month for 5 lines. Plus the cost of buying numbers to port in.

OK thanks for the clarification.

So if I am only doing this to get the $200 GC only and will port in 5 line and port all 5 lines out after getting the GC how do you get around the issue with needing 5 compatible devices for those 5 lines? Don't they require 5 different IMEIs and a unique one for each line opened?

Quote from Otis23 :
I was a huge proponent of this service at one time. The coverage is excellent and the price is low. However, their customer service is so poor that I absolutely would not recommend it to anyone. I spent at least 8 hours on the phone with them when I tried to simply move a line to another account. Instead of transferring, they disconnected the line and I lost access to it. You have been warned.
Just to throw in some balance ... I think it is a random quality of who you get on the call which is similar in most giant service provider companies.

Yes I've had many frustrating calls with them, but also many good ones lately. And one REAL surprise was that I've been on since almost the beginning when it was limited to 4 or 5 lines (can't remember) per account. I was taking care of my parents phone too so I had to have some lines on my account on some on theirs which meant extra cost since they barely used any data. Fast forward to 10 lines per account and they were able and willing to move the lines all to my account seamlessly and instantly. They did this and in the process I was saving AT LEAST the minimum of $15 for 1GB shared data (which at the time was during peak Covid so it halved my monthly bill.

I used my old phone IMEIs. I bought those XR/11 from TW/TF and family phones.

No. I didn't even put the sim card in any phone. You just need to port a number and keep the line active.
Okay this has peaked my interest. How did that work? Did you get your cash card from doing this? Because all the terms insist you need to actually activate the line. How did you activate the line without putting in the SIM? I've always seen 'not activated' until I actually put the sim in a phone and get the number ported over (can make a test call, etc.).

Make sure they are unlocked, otherwise you may have issue during activation.

It is soft-unlock by using white sim I think. During activation, xfinity needs the phone to be officially unlocked in apple database, otherwise activation process will be blocked.
