Xfinity mobil is scamming us?

Back in November of last year, I signed up for an internet plan and received an offer for a mobile line free of charge for 12 months. The offer seemed great, so I accepted it. I canceled my current plan and benefits with T-Mobile, got a new phone, and switched, thinking I would save on my mobile bill.

However, since getting the mobile line, Xfinity has been billing me monthly for the service and has not honored the promotion. Every month since then, I’ve had to call or chat with their support team to request either a refund or the removal of the charges. Each time, I spend countless hours resolving the issue, and though they remove the charges temporarily, the same problem happens again the next month.

Last month, Xfinity charged me $71.48, which included the monthly service fee (supposed to be $0) and an activation fee. This fee was added when their support team couldn’t link my new device to my existing line. They assured me that this was the only way to proceed and promised I would not be charged. But they still billed me for it.

I’ve contacted Xfinity multiple times about this. Each time, the agents lie and claim they can see the refund in my account or that they’ve submitted a request. They always assure me the issue is fixed, but when I check, nothing has been done, and no refund has been processed. I even spoke to a supervisor on the phone, who also lied and failed to issue my refund. I’ve tried reaching out via chat several times, but the same thing keeps happening.

I’m exhausted and frustrated with the terrible service this company provides. The agents are deceptive and repeatedly lie about resolving the issue.

Is anyone else dealing with this situation? How are you resolving it? Would it take making this issue viral or even suing Xfinity to finally get them to address the problem?

XM support has been absolutely TERRIBLE from Day One.  I am a XM legacy customer and have felt the same frustration as you on different issues I initially had.  However, once i FINALLY got everything straightened out, it has been smooth sailing for the last three years.  My advice:  keep a contact log of  the specific agent and when you spoke with them and for how long.  Keep calling back at the end of each billing cycle if things are not right.  Stick with it.  If they say they will call you back (yeah, right) , nail them down to "when" and if they don't , call them back the next business day.  The squeaky wheel does get the grease.  Good luck.

In the same boat since December 2024. Billed for 3 months already, always promising that the credits will apply next billing cycle. Calling them every month and only the last guy applied $40 credit ($2 something tax will be my responsibility). Finally I can see the credit in my account. Not sure how to escalate further...

If the credit has finally shown up on your account, in my experience, they will either credit it toward your next statement or if the account is closed, they will refund to your payment method on file.  It will take a few week for said refund to occur.   If this credit satisfies your complaint, just be patient, no need to further escalate.

Well, yes, as my initial post said, I have been charged for the promotional mobile line that should be free of charges, along with an extra line that supports open and closed to add my device. They promised me I wouldn't get charges for that, but I got charged as well. I'm looking for my refund of $71.28 and also a definitive fix to my account so I won't get charged in the future.

Hey @user_w8nwkl, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Reddit community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience regarding the Xfinity Mobile account and services. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance looking into this further for you.

 

We do offer promotional plans that include a complimentary Xfinity Mobile Unlimited Data Line for 12 months that I know I have signed many customers without issue. This would only cover the Unlimited Data plan, not any device, taxes, and fees. Do you have a monthly Device Payment Plan (DPP) or subscribe to the Unlimited Data Plus plan by any chance?

I have the unlimited plan subscription which is $40 a month but with the promotion should be $0
