No international mobile service

We have the mobile plus plan with international roaming because canceling our internet while we are away for a while was necessary but, after finding out we are going to the Philippines , they suggested this mobile plus plan which will work there.  Spent a couple of hours getting the phones set up and after that, we get to the Philippines and no service.  Contacted customer support(an additional couple of hours), couldn't help.  Escalated the issue(yet more time) and was told I should hear from someone within the hour, still waiting 4 hrs+.  I've been on the live chat so much that I feel like they have control of timing out the chat and they repeat the same process over and over again when I have to start a live chat after they disconnected.   We have not had the issue resolved.  Tech support had me delete the eSIM while troubleshooting, reinstall it, reset the network and still nothing.  Only to have another tech support "specialist" tell me that this eSIM needed to be downloaded into my phone in the USA and cannot help me until it is back there.  I just arrived to the Philippines.  I am waiting for someone from their management team or supervisor of their tech support to make this right and get our service up and running.  I have banking things I need to square away and this is probably going to cause my accounts to freeze.

Still waiting nearly 2 days later and no Xfinity email response.  I will update this thread when that happens.  Ridiculous.

Been dealing with this same issue for 3 weeks. Xfinity hasn’t been able to fix it. I travel weekly between USA and Asia. Unreal they can’t fix it. Filed FCC complaint and got a call from corporate executive office and they can’t even figure it out. I ended up paying for a second line on my phone with US mobile. Worked first trip. Xfinity is just incompetent. Good luck getting anything done.

I had to go to a different service.  I'm not coming back to the states for a while so I had to get a mobile service that would help me.  I went with Ultra Mobile and it's okay but it gets the job done.  

Sorry you're going through the same thing.  

The person who contacted me said there was nothing they can do and even the people above them couldn't do anything.  They couldn't even give me a contact to relate the issue.  I filed an FCC complaint too.  I've never been so angry at a company.

Hey there, user_z1kfks. We never wish for you to feel this way regarding your mobile experience. We understand you mentioned you spoke with our Corporate Executive team recently. Please confirm if you require any further assistance with this matter.
