Charged for an xfinity mobile line that was NEVER ACTIVATED?

​​I’m being charged for an xfinity mobile line that I never activated. I did try to activate it but the website gave me error message after error message so I cancelled the order and the agent told me everything was taken care of. I guess not since 1 month later I am being charged. The bill is claiming line activation fee and data usage even though you guys claim to have a ‘free activation’ (even though I didn’t even activate the phone) and how am I going to get charged for data usage when my phone wasn’t even activated in your network? I’ve read through multiple customers having the same problem and it seems like xfinity is just trying to charge people under their noses.​​

I have the same issues! I tried transferring 4 lines over and ended up with 6 lines in my account! 3 of which are only active! BUt they are trying to charge me for all 6 lines when 3 are not even in service! I tried reaching out multiple times through chat and phone and they have told me they will remove the devices. I reached back after 2 weeks because the device is still showing in my app. They answered with the app is slow so give it a couple more days for them to fall off. 

NOW they are telling me they cannot because its been more than 7 days? I am being charged over $350 for 3 lines that are suppose to be $30 each!! If i knew xfinity mobile was this unorganized I would never have transferred over! This is fraud on a whole new level! DO NOT TRANSFER TO XFINITY MOBILE!

@user_895112​ 

are they forcing you to pay it? I spoke with a couple representatives that told me the charges were valid, and would not help me any further than just telling me I owe them money. They wouldn’t even give me an explanation or a breakdown on the charges for data and activation that I didn’t even use. I basically had to pay the bill or let it go to collections so it could ruin my good credit. This company is absolutely ridiculous and the customer service is beyond subpar. I hope other people read this thread before they decide to sign up for xfinity mobile.

Same here, I've been charged for 2 lines I never activated. The guy on the phone told me I would not be charged until I activated them at the time. The numbers are with a different company so they never actually transferred. Been charged forever a year now and when I called they said the same as above, that the charges are valid because I didn't cancel in 7 days.

Same thing happened to me. SO frustrating. I didn't even get the SIM cards as they were sent to the wrong address. Did you do anything else to get it waived?

The same thing happened to me-- DO NOT SWITCH OR OPEN A LINE WITH XFINITY MOBILE-- IT'S ESSENTIALLY A SCAM!!!****

Customer service is friendly, but their policy is awful and they are given no lenience to issue a refund (which is very unusual). No refund after 7 days even though the SIM card was NEVER even taken out of the box. Absolutely absurd. They know their mobile services are incomparable to competitors, and just want your money. They don't tell you you will be charged even if you don't activate it, again, to steal your money.

If this happens to you through another service-- even if it's unrelated to this issue-- any other service will most likely issue the refund (especially if no one informed you of the policy). Xfinity? Not a chance. Don't know what's going on over there, but Xfinity Mobile really is a scam.

@user_fdb16c​ agree, I inquired with them about whether they would impose charges for inactive lines when I switched to Xfinity, and they assured me that there would be no charges. However, I ended up being billed for three inactive lines for a duration of two months. Over the course of 2 months, I requested on four separate occasions for them to deactivate these lines. They only complied with my request on the fourth attempt and informed me that they were unable to provide a refund for the unused lines

Me, too. I've been charged for an inactive line for months. Then when I finally want to activate, I can't online. Then, the representative tries for 4 hours to activate it. CANT. And then tells me it will be active in 3 days. And they will call me back, do not call them back. They never called. Comcast is run by the antichrist. Im convinced.

That’s a funny response to three of your customers who all clearly tried resolving these issues with your “exceptional team of Mobile experts”…

Me Too!! I've been calling to get my refund for the last 3 months and they said they would resolve the matter and refund my account within 10 days! And nothing! I called again the rep stated she would send the info on her screen to show they returned my money via email...3 hours later still no email! They owe $238 worth of services that I do not have! Originally they stated they would send me Sim cards and all I had to do was return them and this would stop any charges toy account! I never received the Sim cards, I called them back told them I didn't and to not charge me cus I didn't wasn't transferring my service, they rep said ok there would be no charges and the next day I was charged!!!! 3 months of charges!!! I HAVE CALLED 5 TIMES TO STOP THIS! Even if I could transfer my services,  I definitely would not transfer to them now!!!!!

This happened to me too. I was asking about the affordable connectivity program and the agent on the chat enrolled me in xfinity mobile saying it would be free. I said I'd consider trying it but wasn't committed and she said I won't be charged if I never activate it. I never switched over from my previous service and don't think I ever got a sim card from xfinity, but they still are charging me every month. The chat agents don't help and they never callback when they say they will. A scam and a waste of several hours.

Xfinity Mobile is a scam. We got WiFi and security service through them. The guy offered the mobile service. We said we would think about it. Now we are being charged for never switching over. He didn’t tell us nothing about the 7 day cancellation. He only stated we would never be charged for it. I called and escalated to a supervisor. Now u have to wait 7 days for my call to be listened to to confirm he gave us inaccurate info smh.

if I wasn’t going to be charged for cancelling my other services. I would leave them completely.
