No dial tone after new gateway install

Installed new gateway XB8T and there is no dial tone on the land line.  Tried all the suggestions on fixing it, no luck.

I have the same problem.  The new gateway was installed and now there is no dial tone on landline.  I've reset the gateway.  The phone is connected directly to the gateway, so it is not house wiring.  I've confirmed phone connections on the gateway, applying them exactly the way they were in the old gateway and as per instructions.  Television and Internet are working.  This should be a simple swap.  Technology nowadays is not like the 1980s.

Yeah, and you can't talk to a human being anymore.  Probably an easy fix but you have to jump through 50 hoops to converse with someone.  Hopefully we can get it resolved!

The human just remotely rebooted the gateway.  It did not fix it.  Tech is coming over today.  If that is not fix, I will return the gateway. if that does not work, will switch to verizon.

A Xfinity Technician came out and had the Xfinity reprovision my phone lines.  Now it works.  This is a task that cannot be done over the phone or by the customer.  My local Xfinity outlet called it in.   My phone works now.

gjp0928 The phone services traditionally have a 24-hour provisioning period to activate the service. Has it been longer than the initial 24-hour period since the new device was activated?

Yes.  And if it takes 24 hours to provision the phones, the customer needs to know that. It is unbelievable your company would be so inconsiderate for those that need that service for their very survival.  Put the warning out.  I will tell put local office of this incredible lack of technological capabilities.  I am flabbergasted.  I rather it would have been a mistake because those happen, but to be told it is by design.  WE had this service with you for several years. We will avoid any more upgrades in the future until your company somehow acquires the technology to support your customers.

Yes, it has been over 48 hours since we activated the device.
