Xfinity Mobile is a popular low-cost option for cell phone service that uses Verizon's network. Yes, I said Xfinity and low-cost in the same sentence. This service is available to Xfinity's internet customers, but it isn't a no-brainer for everyone. In today's video, I explain the biggest mistake people make when switching to Xfinity Mobile.

I would never have considered this. Thank you for this & all your other videos. They are so easy to understand. I appreciate the clarity.
Unfortunately xfinity is the only high speed internet in my area that is through a cable. I have it for that reason. I also have two mobile phones for $32 a month for 2 years. That's the price for 2 phones. $16 each. We use the wifi for the majority of our data. The internet speed is 400 mps, and we pay $65 a month for that. I really can't complain about the price for everything. I will say that xfinity is a monopoly around here, and their customer service sucks! Thanks for your time and videos.
I made this video for people in your exact situation. There are millions. You’re not alone. I think you are making the best of it. If you had those two lines with Verizon, your bill would be much higher. Thank you for watching even though you seem to have a good setup already!
@@MichaelSaves I really do enjoy your videos. I'm also subscribed to your newsletter.
I have gotten my internet service, streaming services and mobile service because of you. Thank you. I have Disney +, TH-camTV, Netflix, and Hulu. It's a wonder how I find time to watch TH-cam videos. I've been considering getting the ad free TH-cam because I hate getting 5 or 10 ads watching a video on TH-cam. I just don't know if it is worth it. I see a new video with new content for the future of your channel. I'm just saying. Thanks again.
@@whitieinvermont Thank you for the suggestion. I have a few videos on YT Premium, but it's time for an update. The ads are getting worse. (I know because I don't have Premium at the moment!)
@@MichaelSaves I never watched the TH-cam Premium videos because I never considered it in the past. The ads are getting ridiculous now. It isn't personal that I didn't watch the past videos. Now I have a reason to considered getting the TH-cam Premium. They may end up changing it again. I noticed that some channels are doing the ads in the videos instead of doing the 30-90 second ads. Everything is always changing.
Your download speed is 400 Mbps but your upload speeds must only be 10 Mbps or 20 Mbps at best with Xfinity. Upload speeds are just overlooked by a vast majority of customers and deliberately hidden by coax internet providers like Xfinity and Spectrum. Upload speeds are equally important as download speeds to make clear video calls, uploading videos, and a households security system where cameras upload videos to the cloud. Fiber Internet by default is just way superior due to symmetrical download and upload speeds. So my 300 Mbps AT&T Fiber plan also gives me 300 Mbps upload speeds. Backing my computers and phones data to the cloud is just a breeze with 300 Mbps upload speeds. It also provides my home’s security cameras with more than adequate bandwidth to upload videos. If and when Fiber comes to your area, just sign up without thinking twice about it.
Thanks for the information Michael.
I had my Xfinity mobile service for 3 years unlimited for $50 a month with no problems and no increases
We got rid of Xfinity for cable and home phone, and we always are receiving ads for going to xfinity
mobile, because we still have
Xfinity Internet. Never. Thanks 😊
A lot of people feel that way and I think it’s fine. Understand completely. I am just sharing the dollars and cents part of it all.
@MichaelSaves Thanks, it was informative, By the way we have AT&T wireless elite over 5 years now for two lines and are satisfied with it,
My T-Mobile alone for 4 line was $191 with no payment for any phones. That’s crazy. I’m paying for internet and four lines for less then $120. What’s even greater is my phone or internet service does not drop whether I am at home or out anywhere like it did with T-Mobile and I never lose the gps. I’m really happy with it. T mobile was always adding strange fees on top that made no sense.
Did t-mobile provide unlimited hotspot like xfinity ?
Definitely a helpful video! We are hoping to keep Verizon 5g home where we are moving to but Xfinity is essentially one of two options as AT&T fiber is possibly available as well.
Do you think the NOW plans are worth trying if Xfinity is the only option since the pricing seems to be stable? The 200mbps plan would work for us possibly.
I can't say for sure, but I plan to try the NOW plans. I am back living in an Xfinity area, so I will be able to test it out pretty soon. I hope you can keep Verizon 5G when you move. That's been my favorite of the 5G services so far.
If you haven't moved yet and are considering Xfinity home internet. I would suggest taking up Xfinity mobile and bring your own phones (you avoid the 24-month lock-in). There are also some promos ending Jun 30th for a by one get one free line (no contract), and another for bringing your own phones ($100 credited over 10 months for each phone)
Depending on your location, you can get great bundle deals where you get a discount on your home internet for activating a mobile line (up to -$40 per month if you're lucky)
Still learning more about Verizon deals
Also, if there are no gamers in the house, then 100 Mbps should be sufficient at least for small families. In 2022 I was working remotely with a 3 monitor set-up, but my 2015 computer's WiFi maxed out 100 Mbps because it was 4G. Cable based internet service varies so I usually got around 70 Mbps, but I still did ok. Bottom line is that 150 to 200 Mbps would be perfect for most people, and families, but seems like the ISPs are pushing the higher rates so they can charge more OR eventually charge more.
Visible is a keeper for me. The hotspot works great. Thank you for sharing those updates.
Yes the Visible hotspot has saved me so many times.
This is one of the most fair reviews I’ve seen and I agree. I love Xfinity Internet and Mobile.
Me too man. Xfinity has been great. .
My parents switched to them because they wanted to save some money. They use T-Mobile towers in our area. But they are given a lower priority than T-Mobile users. T-Mobile works average at our house, but their Xfinity phones have very poor connection. They complained and Xfinity said they would contact T-Mobile to raise their priority level. It never worked. After many complaints it not got resolved.
I got TH-cam to watch your video today . They have game you can play on TH-cam now.
I can't really come up with a compelling reason to consider a Xfinity/Comcast/Spectrum type of plan when for the same or often less you can get something like Mint/Visible etc.... Outside of offering something to their installed base I don't see any benefit.
Yes I agree with you for the most part. But for some customers, the combination of the bundle discount and new phone discount is worth it. They have a market. As far as coverage, Xfinity and Spectrum both use Verizon’s network as well as their respective WiFi hotspots. Mint and Visible are great though and you have more flexibility, particularly with a Visible monthly plan.
I have Spectrum Mobile and they gave me a great deal on a new phone. A lot of those other cheap carriers don't offer good phone promotions. I only pay like $7.50 for my phone per month
I just switched to xfinity mobile for the free google pixel 8s. Got 2 of them. Figured over the next two years it will be worth it. Just hope I can get a decent deal on the internet when my current deal expires.
Find the competitors (michaelsaves.com/internet-plan-comparison-tool/) and see if Xfinity will give you another deal once the current one expires. This doesn't always work, but it is more likely to work when you have competition. At least you're getting the mobile discount now. I'm jealous of your new phones!
Im with xfinity and with my low income using the ACP support got low internet with payment plan for their phone. Gov. no longer supports that plan. A couple more months and the phone will be paid off, then I will have to keep a close watch to see if price goes up. Other carriers Ive talked will only give you the similar internet rate if you buy their phone, so it appears a no win situation for people like me. I currently pay $30 a month with 100 speed till that price goes up.
Are you on Internet Essentials? That is not going away, even though ACP is. I personally have asked Comcast about this recently.
I'm so glad my small town doesn't have Xfinity ripping people off, & that we have good signals with T-Mobile, and AT&T.
The big internet increases can be avoided by just going into an Xfinity store before promo price ends.
Yup, it's the "what if's" that got my wife's phone locked and it's now a useless brick. She went on an employee plan with her daughter, bought the phone, paid cash and was on with the daughter's husband too. Well things changed and now Xfinity will not unlock her phone to go with another carrier. Stay away from these guys!
Every single internet provider has entry discounts this is not xfinity specify Fios plays the exact same ball game
im thinking of switching from tmobile to xfinity i can save $100 a month

I've been with verizon since 1995 and they could care less, so I left them and save $100 a month
Xfinity is a ripoff
For a lot of people, it definitely is! But when it's your only internet option, adding the phone plan can reduce overall costs if you have a big carrier like Verizon. That is why I think Xfinity Mobile has done so well.
@@MichaelSaves I went with Verizon home internet and phone and my wifi bill is only 40
Xfinity is worst ever
Totally understand and hear that from many people. But they are being more competitive (in areas with competition) due to market pressure.
