Will not unlock phone

Phones have been paid off in full for 6months to a year, will not unlock them. Was told several times that it will be unlocked! Phones should unlock automatically within 48 hrs after paid in full! Terrible business how are they doing their customers this way! Trapping them. I will go to corporate!

Hi Richard,

No, it has not been taken care of. I’ve been lied to for months waiting 24 hrs which turns into days and weeks! It has not been done. Phones are legally mines. I do not see why false information is noted on their website. Huge inconvenience for people who spend their hard earned money on devices and get the runaround about having them unlocked. Then try to use your bill against. Whole time xfinity is the one delaying the process. Would not recommend them to anyone. There are too many complaints for the same reason.

Same issue here.  Phones fully paid off 2 weeks ago, and still locked.  Attempted several messages through help and no response.  Filed an FCC complaint and got a response from Xfinity's  FCC compliance team, but still no results.  I am confident this is not on purpose by Xfinity, but it irritates me that their systems are so poor not to handle this automatically.  This must put quite a bit of extra workload on their support teams for no reason.

Success!  Xfinity was able to unlock it this time with just one quick call.  Not sure why it did not unlock before but it was instantaneous when I called them to do it.  Thanks, Xfinity!!
