Qualifying Xfinity Internet Plans

To qualify for Xfinity Mobile, customers must subscribe to an Xfinity Internet plan with speeds of at least 300 Mbps. These plans often come with a 5-year price guarantee, providing stability in pricing for new customers. However, it's important to verify the specific details and availability of these plans in your area, as they can vary.

Xfinity Mobile's pricing structure is designed to incentivize bundling with Xfinity Internet. The base price for internet starts at $30–$40 per month for 300 Mbps, with promotional discounts available for bundling. The Unlimited Mobile plan is priced at $40 per month for the first line, with additional lines available at a reduced rate.

Long-term Price Guarantees

Xfinity Mobile offers a 5-year price guarantee on new internet plans, which includes a free Unlimited Mobile line for the first year. However, it's crucial to understand that while the internet price may be locked, mobile promotional discounts typically expire after 12 months. After this period, standard rates apply, which can lead to a significant increase in monthly costs.

Exit and Cancellation Costs

While Xfinity Mobile does not have early termination fees, canceling Xfinity Internet will result in the termination of the mobile service. Additionally, if you choose to maintain Xfinity Mobile without Xfinity Internet, a $25 monthly fee per account will apply. It's important to review any device payment obligations, as canceling a line can trigger the immediate due of any remaining balance.
