Whether you are getting a new phone number or want to use your current one, Xfinity Mobile’s activation process is simple. You can do it online by accessing the activation link, i.e., xfinitymobile.com/activate. Let us walk you through the step-by-step activation process.

Before you start the process and activate your new or existing phone on Xfinity Mobile, ensure your phone is turned off and should stay off throughout the entire activation process.

Guide to Activate Your New Phone with Xfinity Mobile

Before you begin the activation process, ensure you have the following:

1. New Xfinity Mobile phone: This could be a phone you purchased from Xfinity Mobile or a compatible BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phone.
2. Xfinity Mobile SIM card: If you’re activating a new phone line, you’ll need an Xfinity Mobile SIM card. You may need to order a SIM card separately if you bring your own device.
3. Xfinity Mobile account: You’ll need to have an existing Xfinity Mobile account or create a new one if you’re a first-time customer.
4. Account details: Keep your Xfinity Mobile account details handy, including your account number and phone number (if you’re transferring an existing number).

It will take less than 10 minutes to activate your new phone on Xfinity Mobile at xfinitymobile.com/activate.

Step 1 – Unboxing Your New Phone and SIM Card

The process begins with unboxing the new device. First, open the box and take out everything it has, including your new phone, Xfinity Mobile SIM Card, charger, and any other essentials/ accessories.

Keep the phone switched off and follow the instructions in the box to insert the new Xfinity Mobile SIM Card correctly.

Step 2 – Go to Xfinity Mobile My Account

• After inserting the new SIM card, visit xfinitymobile.com/activate on another device such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
• Now, sign in with your Xfinity ID. If you have created your Xfinity account using your email, mobile, or username, use the respective credentials.
• Click the Let’s go button. (If you haven’t created an account yet, click the Create a new Xfinity ID option.)
• After logging into your Xfinity account, select the phone that you want to activate.
• When prompted, enter the account and PIN from the previous carrier if you are transferring a phone number.
• Also, provide your billing address. You will find this information on an old bill.
• If you want a new number, select I want a new number. A new number will be assigned to you automatically once the phone is activated.
• You will then have one from Xfinity once your phone is activated and ready.
• Then, click the Activate option. That’s it!

You will get a confirmation email when the activation is complete. Typically, most numbers get transferred in 10 minutes. However, it depends on the carrier.

You can now switch on your device and use the fastest 5G network in your area.
