I bought an iPhone 15 Pro Max on July 13, 2024. I wanted to move my number(ending 0801) from my iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I went to an Xfinity store (at ************************************). The agent there could not do that and told me to call 611. I called 611 from my home in the evening. The agent on the other end said that in order to port the number, she had to create a temporary number. I would not be charged. The line was free if I cancelled it within one month. I OK'ed that. She created a temp number for my new phone. However, She couldn't swap the temp number and my old number (ending 0801) and told me to go to a store next day. I went to another Xfinity store(at *************************************). The agent there used my phone to call 611 and directed the people on the other end to finish porting.Similar thing happened to one of my daughters when she bought a new phone and got her number ported to the new phone in November 2023.I switched all lines in my account to another wireless company on July 19, 2024.I received a bill of $190.37 from Xfinity yesterday. I felt this was not a correct amount because the monthly bill had been about $130 for quite a few months. So I called the Xfinity customer service. The agent on the other end obviously could not understand basic English. She said the billing period started on the 19th of each month. The bill was from June 19 to July 19 (one billing period plus one day) and I was charged for the temp line created by the Xfinity agent for porting the number. That is unacceptable. An Xfinity agent created the temp number to port my existing number. She told me it was free. That temp number was entirely new. I could not remember what it was and did not use it. The bottom line is Xfinity hires the agents outside **. It is unacceptable that Xfinity charges the customers for what the agents say is free.Business Response

I have been a customer of ******* for 35 years, within 1 single week of switching to Comcast (because my new apartment doesn't support *******), it appears that the ONLY way, that my requested changes to my service will be completed, will be filing a Better Business Bureau complaint.I am a mentally disabled individual (severe Autism), and I spent approximately 2 hours on chat, over a period of several days. I requested my voicemail be turned off, call waiting be turned off, and call interruptions be turned off. My comcast voice landline is ************.I can NOT even hang up, my landline. On a daily basis I call my 94 year old mother, and when I say good bye, and hang up, the phone doesn't hang up. This is because of call waiting. And not only did this interfere with my line, but my mother, who is 94, doesn't understand technology, and because when I hang up, the phone stays connected, she had trouble making another phone on her line. Since we were still connected.Apparently 2 hours on chat, over a several day period, asking this to be fixed, is not sufficient to get it fixed. Apparently the only way to get my service setup correctly is to file a Better Business Bureau complaint to get it FIXED.I want the call waiting, voicemail, and call interruptions, turned off on my comcast voice line at ************. I would of done it myself, but I don't see anyway to make those changes on Comcast's website or the Xfinity (dumb name) app on my cell phone.So please fix it immediately.Business Response

I called into xfinity as they screwed up and applied a promotion on the wrong account. When I called in they agreed to $120 credit to fix the overpay. They then said it would be $50 a month for internet plus an iPad. Once I activate the iPad it would make it $40 month. I called a week later and xfinity had lost the iPad. I said to please deliver it to the other address on my account as I was told fed ex would call me to change the address previously. **** with the station. Number *********** said to just put the iPad under the 621 address and once received would transfer it to the 1130 address so I could receive the additional $10 off. He called me to activate but I was at work. I called back alter and I was told it could just be transferred for 2 months and that there was a $10 a month charge for data. I told them its supposed to be bundled and total $40 a month with unlimited data. I have recorded the conversations. I have called multiple times getting the run around. I do not know where my accounts stand at this point. Their staff continues to transfer and hang up on me. I now want additional compensation on top of my issues corrected. I want to email the phone conversations. It is not letting me upload it.Business Response

Case Number: 22115697
Date of Notice: August 9, 2024
Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau, by ***********************, regarding Xfinity service.
On August 12, 2024, I spoke with ***********************, regarding a billing-related concern. On July 27, 2024, a Xfinity Mobile order was placed, at the above service address. On the same date, the order was cancelled.
***************** has two service addresses, on August 5, 2024, in error, a second Xfinity Mobile order was placed at the second service address. On August ******, *********************** purchased Apple iPad (10th Generation). At that time, Xfinity Mobile offered a promotion through which eligible customers could qualify to receive monthly device payment credits for 24 months, provided they satisfied certain requirements. To qualify for the promotion, customers were required to purchase an eligible device (either paid in full or with a DPP) and activate a new line within 30 days of the order. If the line is canceled, voluntarily or involuntarily, or device payments are accelerated,credits associated with device payments are lost.
On August 9, 2024, we linked the existing mobile account to the second service address at *************************************************************. On August 15, 2024, I advised the mobile breakdown for the existing mobile account. ***************** understands the monthly mobile billing regarding the data plan, monthly device payment plan (DPP), and monthly promotional credit for 24-months, as long as the iPad stays active, and final taxes. On August 15, 2024, as a courtesy, I applied two credits to the billing cycle ending September 10, 2024,and to be utilized until fully depleted.
Mr. ******** claim of being advised that the account number ending 4861 would receive a quoted price a month on the internet account, if he added an iPad line to the Xfinity Mobile account, cannot be found. On August 13, 2024, an executive customer relations specialist, educated ****************, we were not offering a promotion for the service address on *************************************************************, for internet services that includes an iPad. However, ***************** has the Fast internet package from July 27, 2024, to August 22, 2026,at a contract discounted rate, and a modem rental rate at no charge from July 27, 2024, to August 22, 2026.
On August 13, 2024, a discount for mobile has been added for two specific amounts off from the backend, this is putting the internet bill at lower amount per month. There is nothing further we can do for the internet account and will not discount internet for free services to make up difference for having iPad line. No additional credits or discounts are due. ****************** is aware and understand that mobile and internet billing are invoiced separately, and Comcast cannot promise ****************** both bills being a certain amount for all services. We apologized for any inconvenience that may have caused ******************, while attempting to resolve this matter.
I trust that this ****** provides your office with the information required for resolution in this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at ********************************.

Xfinity offered my mother a "FREE" Apple Watch because she had been an Xfinity customer for 23 years and had earned "rewards" that provided her with $300 to get a "FREE" watch. The salesman did not set up the watch and sent her home with it in a box...where it sat for a month until I visited and helped her set it up. She wore it one day, discovered that she couldn't read it because it was so small and put it back in the box. I discovered that they were charging her $10/ month for a cellular line for the watch. I called to cancel the watch line because my 81-year old mother does not need a cellular watch. Xfinity said, sure you can cancel, but then we will charge you $12/month to buy the watch. I explained that it was supposedly a "Free" watch, and they have said that was only if you pay for a line.Business Response

For the past month and currently, my internet and television service has been interrupted several times. A couple of weeks ago my internet was out for more than 24 hours. After numerous attempts interacting with their chat bots, I was finally able to speak with a representative and a supervisor. After talking to them both I was promised a $25 + credit to my bill. When I received my bill last week, the credit didn't appear. I have been trying to have that credit applied to my current bill without success. The chat bots have not been able to resolve the issue. My bill was due today and in the conversation I had with the supervisor, I was advised not to pay the bill until it was updated with the credit. I just advised my bank to send a check for $155 to Xfinity/ Comcast. I would like to have the credit that was promised applied to my bill and recieve a credit each and every time my service has an interruption. I would also like to speak directly to a representative when there issues. Their chat bots have not been helpful at all.Business Response

Upon receipt of the complaint a review was completed, and a check of the return label/box database did not indicate an order had been placed.

I have been trying to get internet service since 7/23/24. After several repeat phone calls, most lasting more than one hour, I was told that I had been approved (****************). On 7/26 I called again as they had not bothered to check my modem on the original call, now this person did, and found it would not work with their system. We seemed to be communicating until she transferred me, as they always ended up doing, I was connected with another **** that I could not understand. On every phone call I was assured service was set up and approved and equipment would be sent. I don't want this to be too long, let me just say, as of this date 8/8 I still do not have service nor have I received equipment or any emails. I was told by one rep that an order was opened and closed on 7/27? No explanation was offered. On 7/30 I was assured by ******* that equipment would arrive in 3-5 days. No email confirmed this and it never came! Each time I call, they start all over again, all the same questions again. It is maddening! But the last chat (8/3) that I had with them after numerous phone calls, this chat lasted forever and I was transferred to no less than 9 people!!! I started keeping names after the first 2 (MM, *****, ******, *****, ****************************** again then ******* (vconda921). The plan I am attempting to sign up for costs $9.95 per month and is for low income folks. After all that time being transferred around, confirming Internet Essentials for $9.95, ******** wanted me to confirm a plan he presented me for $ll5 per month. WHAT??? I do NOT understand the problem here. I did not just land on this planet, I have always had internet service. This is a new address and they are the local provider. No one should have to go through all this trouble. And why I do not have service or at least an inquiry is beyond me. What can you do when you are assured EVERYTIME that the matter is settled but it is not. As a last resort I am asking that service be ordered for me.Business Response

Case Number: 22114973
Date of Notice: August 9, 2024
Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to your office by *************************.
On August 12, 2024, I spoke with ************************* regarding a service and billing concern. **************** indicated that she had been approved for Internet Essentials but has not received the modem. Comcast records indicate **************** was approved for Internet Essentials on July 26, 2024. Attempts to ship the modem failed on July *******, July 31, 2024, and August 12, 2024. Through a ticket that was created, it was determined a professional installation should be scheduled to activate ****************** Internet Essentials service and this was completed as ordered on August 15, 2024.
Our records indicate the professional installation charge was reversed on August 16, 2024, and the credit will be reflected on the August 19, 2024, billing statement. In addition, a credit was applied to the account on August 16, 2024, and will be reflected on the August 19, 2024,billing statement.
**************** subscribed to Internet Essentials at the regular retail rate of $9.95, effective August ******, when her application was approved. Equipment, taxes and fees are not included in the package price. I attempted to follow up with **************** on August 16, 2024, and August 19, 2024, without success.
Our records indicate all signal levels to the home and equipment are within specification and the equipment is working normally.
I apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.
Please contact me directly should you have any additions or concerns.
Sincerely,

Better Business Bureau:
I appreciate your assistance in this matter. I am considering this complaint resolved although I still think there is a serious need for improvement by this company, regarding their customer service and assistance.Even the letter sent to you by the company states that I was approved for Internet Essentials on "July 26". She then goes on to say the application was approved on "August 6". Why two different times, on two different dates??Despite attempting to sign up for service on July 26, they admit, "Attempts to ship the modem failed on July 26, 2024, July 31, 2024, and August 12, 2024." Why in the world was this such a production?
When I finally spoke to **** (it was a very long call in the evening hours), after everything seemed to have a green light, she came back and said there was a problem?! We continued for some time until this new issue was resolved,while she waited for someone else to assist us. Ridiculous!
When the installer finally came, he told me he was almost not going to come as it was the end of his day. ??? When he did try to install he had some problem, as there appeared to be some "filter" that would not let him connect. If I had gone the normal route of this company, I would not have been able to "self install" as is their policy, due to this issue. More problems that would have been encountered!
I cannot stress enough, how frustrating this whole experience has been. The right hand doesn't seem to know what the left hand is doing. While this letter seems to admit to most of the issues, it does not state "why" or "how" they would prevent this aggravating encounter from happening to other customers. They do not even pretend to explain why it went this way for me. Certainly, through nothing I did.
They used up the minutes on my phone plan, kept me on the phone much later in the evening than I would care to be and overall have done nothing to improve the reputation of this company, in my view.
I accept this resolution and appreciate the assistance of the BBB. I wish to have no further communication with this company.
Regards,
