Installed new Xfinity Modem and now no dial tone. Performed all trouble shooting. Nothing has worked. Have seen that Xfinity Rep must activate Voice on new modem. Please help!

I have the same problem.  I just installed the new gateway and now there is no dial tone on landline.  All incoming calls go directly to voicemail.  I've reset the gateway.  The phone is connected directly to the gateway, so it is not house wiring.  I have confirmed phone connections on the gateway are applied correctly to the telephone port, applying them exactly the way they were in the old gateway and as per new instructions.  Television and Internet are working.  I have rebooted the gateway, and it did not solve any problems.  I cannot be down for days like so many of your other customers are experiencing.  I hope you can see how concerning this is.  The remote technician rebooted the gateway and said the television and internet services are working.  I told him a third time it is the voice (telephone service).  This is a KNOWN ongoing problem.  Why did they send out broken gateways?  Does anyone know if there is a class-action law suit over this?

I called the 800 number and finally got a human.  I asked them to ACTIVATE my land line now that I had the new modem/router and the woman was happy to assist and knew exactly what I was talking about.  Xfinity should just do this for the customer, but instead we are made to jump through silly hoops when all they have to do is handle it on their end right from the start.  Poor execution of new equipment but I do love the xfinity products.

How do I contact a real person? I have called 1-800-934-6489 several times and there is no option to speak to a live representative. Please help!

When I called the 800 number I just kept saying customer service over and over again and finally a human was dispatched to me. Isn't it soooooo frustrating though.
