Trouble Unlocking iPhone
Hello. I recently spent well over an hour on the chat support feature in the Xfinity mobile app attempting to get help with unlocking my iPhone. My device was paid off a long time ago, but the first rep I chatted with said I had no balance for the cell plan and didn’t know why it wouldn’t unlock automatically. The 2nd rep investigated further and said that I owed money on the account.. which is news to me and I’ll try and dispute and/or resolve that promptly. However, I was under the impression that as long as I own the device outright, then it should be able to be unlocked. I’ve attached a screen shot from my end when logging into my Xfinity account. Can you please help?

Thank you for reaching out to us
The phone should automatically unlock within 48 hours of being paid off. Although, if there is a past due balance of the mobile account, that can prevent the device from being unlocked. For more information on our unlock requirements, we have this dedicated article here.
