Customers Can Now Bring Select, Unlocked
iPhones; Additional Devices Expected Later in 2018
Comcast announced today that Xfinity Internet customers can now
bring their own device (BYOD) to Xfinity Mobile by visiting Xfinity
Store locations across the country. Select, unlocked iPhone models
can be activated on the Xfinity Mobile network, and devices that
don’t qualify may be eligible to be traded in for a gift card equal
to the value of the phone, which can be used to bring down the cost
of upgrading to a new device.

“With the introduction of BYOD, we now have a convenient way for
iPhone users to switch to Xfinity Mobile and get access to the best
4G LTE network plus 18 million WiFi hotspots without having to
purchase a new phone,” said Rui Costa, vice president of product
management and customer experience for Xfinity Mobile. “A core
tenet of Xfinity Mobile is that it’s simple and easy, and our
in-store BYOD experience will be no different,” added Costa. “We
are committed to simplifying the mobile experience from the moment
a customer signs up, through activation and account
management.”
Customers are encouraged to visit www.xfinity.com/mobile/byod
for additional details and to determine if their device is eligible
to bring to Xfinity Mobile. Comcast expects to be able to activate
devices from additional manufacturers on the Xfinity Mobile network
in stores later in 2018.
Xfinity Mobile is available to all Xfinity Internet customers,
and includes up to five lines of unlimited nationwide talk and
text, no line access fees, and 100 MB of shared data. When a
customer brings their device to Xfinity Mobile they can choose from
two straightforward data options – “By the Gig” for $12 per GB of
shared data across all lines on their account, or Unlimited for $45
per month per line. In addition, customers with Xfinity Mobile and
Xfinity TV have a complete entertainment solution at home and on
the go, including access to 200+ live TV channels, 40K On Demand
movies and shows, and cloud DVR.
