At that time anyone who had Comcast for TV service could get the free mobile service. Our friends were so satisfied, and like us, travel a good deal, etc. At that time they only accepted certain brands of phones. We use Samsung Note phones, so when we needed new ones and found XF price for a note was approximately 50% less than any other place, we decided to take a chance ! In the two plus years since, it is the best move we've ever made phone wise, and we personally don't know a single person who took them up on the free service to any existing Comcast costumer including our son and family in another state. We are NOT huge consumers of data, so the largest overcharge we have ever received has been $15 including any taxes, usually there is no charge since we downloaded the XF Hotspots App which connects automatically to hundreds of thousands of XF hotspots. Service in on the Verizon system and honestly we have not noticed any difference than our many years with Sprint ! I might add that we think we have noticed a lot fewer dropped calls since we changed. If you are hesitant I understand, for us going from $170 plus a month for cell phone service to $-0- or maybe $11, $15 at times was just not believable, but we also knew our friends who told us about it would tell us any "down side" if one existed. Frankly, if you are a high data user, I think it would still be a huge savings even if you purchased additional data. Don't remember because we've never needed it, but think it runs $10 a gig.... but have not checked for a long time. You can SHARE the gig(s) if you purchase same. When we started there were no "packages", the offer was any existing Comcast customer could switch their mobile service to XF and have NO cell phone bills unless you go over your minimum data, works great for us, if we FB, or Zoom, watch a movie, etc. on our phones we are always using free wifi in airports, terminals, coffee shops, etc. or on one of the XF hotspots. Talk and texts are unlimited.

To clarify, when Xfinity Mobile service was first offered, if you used less than 100MB of data in a month, there was no charge for the cell phone service. However, that feature has changed. Now, you are charged for at least 1GB of data regardless of how much you use. I always use less than 1GB of data, and my monthly bill is $13.70.
