 Xfinity Mobile is a new wireless service built for the way people use their phones today, with the internet at the center of the experience. All Xfinity Mobile plans include free unlimited talk and text, so all you need to worry about is how much data you want. There are two data plans to choose from: By The Gig and Unlimited. 

Xfinity Mobile is only available to Xfinity Internet customers.

The Good

  • Available Devices
  • Mix and Match Data Plans
  • Pricing, Charges, and Fees
  • Mobile Coverage

Available Devices

iPhone users can choose from Apple's latest models, such as the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, and the 12 Pro Max. In December 2020, there was a deal for new customers to receive $250 off their purchase of an eligible iPhone (as long as you transfer your number within 30 days). Existing customers can also get a $250 Visa PrePaid Card when they replace or upgrade their current device. 

As far as Android devices, Xfinity customers can purchase the Galaxy S20 and the Note 20 models.

If you're looking for something that doesn't require a small down payment, Xfinity has several LG and Motorola devices that shouldn't break the bank. 

If there's not a deal for the type of phone you want, we recommend waiting a few weeks as the sales change.  

If buying a new phone doesn't fit in your budget, Xfinity does allow you to bring over your current phone — as long as it's compatible. If you're worried about your phone's compatibility, simply use Xfinity's site to check. All you need to do is enter what type of phone you have, your current carrier, and the IMEI. Most iPhones, Galaxy phones, and Pixels are compatible with Xfinity Mobile, but it never hurts to check. 

Mix and Match Data Plans

First things first: All Xfinity Mobile plans come with free unlimited talk and text. 

You only pay for the data, and Xfinity Mobile only offers two data plans: By The Gig or Unlimited. 

Xfinity's By The Gig plan lets you choose between 1GB for $15 per month, 3GB for $30 per month, or 10GB for $60 per month. It's not a great option if you use a lot of data — as you will be charged $15 for each GB or partial GB of data overage.

The Unlimited plan is reasonably priced at just $45 per month. If you're continually going over your data limit with the By The Gig plan, it might be worth it to switch to the Unlimited. With that in mind, we should mention that Xfinity Mobile doesn't penalize users for changing plans. So you can easily switch from the By The Gig plan to an Unlimited plan if you know you're going to be using more data for a while. Then you can easily switch back when you're done. 

Pricing, Charges, and Fees

Although Xfinity Mobile isn't the cheapest option out there, it certainly is affordable. If you can get by with only 1GB of data, you definitely will save a fair amount of money each month. 

The Unlimited plan for $45 per month is a good middle-of-the-road solution. Yes, there are cheaper plans out there, but you often have to worry about going over your minutes or text. 

Xfinity Mobile does its best not to overwhelm consumers with a bombardment of fees and extra charges. There are no activation fees, assuming you already have Comcast's Xfinity Internet (if you're a new customer, signing up for Xfinity Internet is the activation fee). You don't have to pay shipping fees should you order a new phone. There is also no early termination fee if you want to cancel. Remember that you will need to cancel your Xfinity Mobile plan within 30 days of your next billing cycle. You will be responsible for charges for the current month on the account and any remaining device payments (if you have any). 

Mobile Coverage

You should have pretty good coverage with Xfinity Mobile since the MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) uses Verizon's cell towers. This is good news for Xfinity Mobile users since Verizon offers the best coverage in the United States.

The Bad

  • Only Available to Current Xfinity Customers
  • No Deals for Bundling

Only Available to Current Xfinity Customers

Xfinity Mobile is a great option for those who already have Comcast's Xfinity Internet — as the service plans are only available to Xfinity Internet customers.

It's also a great option if you were planning on switching to Comcast's Xfinity Internet service and just so happen to be in the market for a new phone plan. Once you sign up for Xfinity Internet, you can take advantage of Xfinity Mobile's free unlimited talk and text, affordable pricing, and extensive coverage. 

It's not ideal if you already have an internet service provider and will have to pay early termination fees to switch. And while there are no activation fees for Xfinity Mobile, there are for Xfinity's internet service. If you sign up for Xfinity Internet and Xfinity Mobile, only to later cancel your internet service, you can still keep your phone plan. However, you can expect to see an additional $25 Line Access Fee on your monthly bill (no matter the plan). 

No Deals for Bundling

Currently, there are no discounts for customers who want to bundle Xfinity Mobile with other Xfinity Services (such as Xfinity Internet or Comcast Cable TV).

The Bottom Line

Xfinity Mobile is best for those who are already Xfinity Internet customers. The By The Gig and Unlimited plans are incredibly affordable. Just keep in mind that you will need to factor in state taxes and fees (these will vary depending on your state) and internet activation fees (given you are a new Xfinity customer). The plans are simple, straightforward, and fairly comprehensive. We appreciate that Xfinity Mobile allows consumers to easily switch their plans with no fees and doesn't penalize consumers for canceling.

I had a problem with 1 of my apple iPhone 13. I started my calls back in 10/2/23 to xfinity. In turn they hooked me up with apple care. Apple care made an appt to take phone in for repair. Took it in and picked up when it was ready. Still did not work after calling xfinity to activate it. Took back to Apple Store to repair again. Still not working. Took back to Apple Store got loaner phone. It did not work. Picked up new replacement phone. Did not work. Called xfinity again. This time I could understand the man Michael (I think) and he took me by the hand and got the new phone to work! After a month with no service this man knew what he was doing! All it took was a little time and patience. Apple Genius Bar is not genius! They could not fix the problem. But Michael from xfinity got the job done! If you get an apple phone from xfinity just know that the insurance you pay for each phone does not even kick in until one year because apple care takes care of all repairs for the first year. I have anxiety and the Apple Store is a chaotic mess! I hope I never have to go there again!

I had the Xfinity phone service for about 4 months and loved it. They made swapping from my other carrier a seamless and easy process. All I had to do was fill out the proper papers and authorizations and they had it done in less than an hour. The coverage is wonderful and the phones are affordable. Everything by Xfinity is good!

Has the best plan for the best price for me and my husband in our area. I can tell that their service is sometimes a little slow, but I've had very little time being completely disconnected. Works great on the go with Google Maps, which I use a lot on the road. Reasons why I can't give them full 5 stars is that their customer service could be better. Their chat agents are irritating to deal with, they want to advertise and sell so much and spend absurd amounts of time on sounding nice rather than answering your questions. I sometimes feel pressured to buy or take on deals (I never do, but I don't appreciate the feeling). But overall it's a good service, for the money at least compared to other providers in our area.

Connection is excellent. Speed is excellent. Plan Options/Pricing are excellent. The only issue I have is the security. There is no help past the basic troubleshooting steps, albeit they sure do advertise this award winning customer care & security bring a priority. God Forbid you experience an advanced security threat, other than that, they are excellent all the way around. (4yr. Cust.)

Xfinity has been a reliable service for a while, but in recent years, the provider has not been as functional as other providers we have tried. Service tends to be slow and for the cost of the service, it may not be worth as much as it used to be.

Xfinity is definitely better for landlines and cable/ internet rather than cellular service. Their packages are great though and would recommend if you like watching free movies. You should note that if you live somewhere where it rains a lot, their tolerance towards bad weather is not the best.

Took advantage of 2 cell promotions that came with gift cards for getting service with them. And, where I asked multiple Xfinity Mobile reps if I was eligible and was guaranteed to receive gift cards. Received emails that read your gift card is on its way in so many weeks! Waited months reached out to their rewards(gift card) dept. never heard back. Sent complaint to CEO, and in the end they all tell me I wasn’t eligible for gift cards?! Ridiculous, as a consumer to be lied to by multiple reps of Xfinity and being told yes to then having their superiors not honor it! When indeed you have proof(screen shots of reps guaranteeing me the deal, as well as emails). It’s fraudulent and deceiving to say the least! So, consumers please be aware....

I contacted X-finity for wifi calling at my home. Currently there isn't xfinity services provided on my new developed cul-de-sac, so they couldn't provide the service. I spoke to several representatives and service people. they were very nice and helpful, but couldn't do much since the company didn't have their services where I live.

This is hands down the cheapest phone service out there. As long as you have internet services through Xfinity you are able to get services (credit check of course) which comes with free unlimited talk and text.

We switched to Xfinity for our phones, mostly because we could bundle and it ended up being cheaper price for more service. I love paying the same amount that I was, but now have unlimited data. That said, I have found that I drop calls and have issues with data once and awhile. Still, I like saving money so I will probably stay.

Absolutely awful. I’ve been into the xfinity store three times over the span of five days trying to purchase a new phone and port my existing number over to xfinity services... to no avail. My porting process is “stuck in the servers.” The service at the location is absolutely dreadful. No one seems to care about the issue or do anything to resolve it. It’s incredibly frustrating and I’d do anything to just get out of this absolute mess.

Xfinity cellphones was the cheaper option as we have Xfinity ISP and they were able to bundle. Unfortunately, the signal strength in my home was very poor. We had to replace it so that we could use our cellphones in our home.
