However, our tests found that Xfinity Mobile subscribers saw an average download speed of 12.6 Mbps, compared to the Verizon average of 24.0 Mbps (measured only in regions where Xfinity Mobile is available). While Comcast may not be actively throttling customers' speeds, the same is not true for other MVNOs.

If you can't let go of that phone number you've had for 10 years, you can keep it when joining Xfinity Mobile. We accept phone numbers from all carriers.
Since Xfinity Mobile runs on Verizon's network, the coverage map looks a lot like the one for Verizon's postpaid service. The difference is that Xfinity Mobile also has millions of Wi-Fi hotspots. A great feature is that Xfinity Mobile supports Voice over LTE (VoLTE), which let me talk and use data at the same time.
You must have Xfinity internet to sign up for Xfinity Mobile. Service comes via Verizon's towers and Comcast's network of Xfinity hotspots. Xfinity Mobile now supports 5G on Verizon's network, though you'll need a 5G phone to use it.

- T-Mobile Essentials: Best cheap major carrier unlimited data plan.
- AT&T Prepaid Unlimited Plus: Best cheap prepaid unlimited data plan.
- Metro by T-Mobile $60 Unlimited: Best cheap unlimited family plan.
- Visible $40 Unlimited Plan: Best cheap unlimited plan for great coverage.
Xfinity Mobile is Comcast's MVNO that's available exclusively to the company's home internet customers and runs on the Verizon network. For now, the range of Android phones that Comcast will accept is limited to unlocked Samsung devices, including the Galaxy S9, S9 Plus, S8, S8 Plus, Note 9 and Note 8.
With Xfinity, you can now bundle TV and Internet and get your mobile phone service for free (you just pay for any data you want), so you could finally get rid of that outdated home phone. Check the length of your bundle: A bundle that lasts for less than the time on the contract you've signed is no bundle at all.
You can switch anytime (if you're not in a contract)The only thing that may “tether” you to your old carrier is your old phone. If you own that phone, or can pay it off, you may still need to “unlock it” from your old carrier, so it will work on your new network.
Good news is, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, or LG X power, your phone is already unlocked. If you meet the unlock eligibility requirements, contact an Xfinity Mobile specialist via chat or text at (888) 936-4968 to request the unlock.
Only unlocked devices can come to Xfinity Mobile. When a device is unlocked, it means it can be used on different carriers. Carriers often lock the phones they sell so they won't work on any other network. Your phone may also be locked if you still owe money on it.
The Unlimited Saver plan includes unlimited nationwide calling and popular calling features like Caller ID, Call Waiting and Caller ID with Call Waiting, all for $20.00 per month (plus taxes and fees).
This home phone service does not require an Internet connection. You basically purchase a $50 wireless base station that you put wherever you happen to get a good signal in your home. From there, it operates just like a normal landline phone. And you can even port your number over from the monopoly local phone company.
To use Xfinity Voice service you need a telephone handset and electrical outlets. Inside wiring and jacks are not required for service. Handsets may be connected directly to a Comcast Wireless Gateway device, or inside wiring and jacks can be connected to provide phone service throughout a residence.
To connect a telephone line:
- Connect one end of the phone cable to the Tel1 (Voice) port on the rear panel of the modem router.
- Connect the other end of the phone cable to the telephone.
- Call Comcast XFINITY customer service at 1-800-XFINITY (1-800-934-6489) or 1-855-OK-BEGIN and ask them to register the phone lines.
The minimum equipment requirements for Xfinity Voice are a telephone handset and electrical outlets. You can connect handsets directly to a Comcast wireless gateway device or to inside wiring and jacks. Comcast wireless gateways offer the functionality of a Wi-Fi router with cable and voice modem in a single device.
