Why do I have VoIP and how can I get it changed?
I switched my mobile service to Xfinity last year in June due to a promotion when I moved into senior living. Then, in March I found out that I have a VoiP line - because a government site wouldn't allow this number to be used for a verification number.
I don't know why I have VoiP instead of cell, for this smartphone. I spent over 4 hours on the phone with level 1 tier representatives who all claimed not to understand what VoiP is, could not switch me to cell, and also screwed up my account - which I still have to clean up. I also tried chat; and AI and then a person couldn't help me.
I really need help either in knowing what I can do, or by being able to tell the next rep what to do, or by being directed to someone who can help with moving my Xfinity-purchased cell phone (with ported number) be an actual cell, not VoiP. As far as I can tell, I don't want or need VoIP.
I saw in this forum another person who had this solved by - I think it was - Natalie. But that was a year ago. Could someone help me with this? If so, I'd be really grateful. Both the topics I found below said send a direct message - but the direction are no longer accurate.
Help please.
Thanks so much!
