Xfinity Mobile Free Line Activation

I am an existing Xfinity Internet customer, and my account currently shows the “Claim your free line” offer for Xfinity Mobile.
I am an F-1 international student and do not have an SSN. I attempted to activate the line, but the activation process requires an SSN. I have seen previous responses in the Xfinity Community mentioning alternative account verification methods for customers without an SSN. Since the free-line offer is already attached to my account, could an Xfinity representative please review my account and determine whether manual or alternative identity verification is available for activating this promotional line?
I can provide my passport, F-1 visa, I-20, Xfinity account information, and payment information privately if needed.

Thanks for your help! I reached out to Xfinity Support as suggested, and they verified my account and looked into the available options. Unfortunately, I was ultimately told that an SSN is required to establish Xfinity Mobile service, and that the alternative verification methods do not apply to Xfinity Mobile. They mentioned NOW Mobile as an option without an SSN, but it is not eligible for the free line offer.

I appreciate you and the support team taking the time to check this for me. I just wanted to post an update here in case other international students without an SSN have the same question.
