Xfinity Mobile Cellphone Plans Review

Performance

Xfinity Mobile doesn't operate any of its cell towers. Instead, it leases tower space from Verizon so the company is able to offer nationwide 5G cell phone service to its customers. According to J.D.Power, Verizon has the most reliable 5G cell phone network in the United States.  5G service is included in all of Xfinity's mobile plans at no extra charge. Xfinity also operates millions of secure Xfinity WiFi hotspots around the country to keep customers connected wherever they may be.

Like other cellular service companies, Xfinity Mobile doesn't guarantee 5G speeds 100% of the time. Some rural areas may routinely deliver slower speeds. You can check to see if your location has access to 5G by entering your zip code on Xfinity Mobile's website. You may also experience reduced speeds during times of high network traffic. In addition, you will not receive 5G speeds after your premium data usage exceeds 20 GB for the billing cycle. 

Price

Users pay no activation fee to get started with Xfinity Mobile. The service offers two types of plans: by-the-gig and unlimited. Its Unlimited plan costs $45 per month for a single line,  but the price per line is lower if you connect multiple lines to your account. For example, if you connect four lines through your plan, you'll pay just $40 per month per line for a total cost of $120. That's a very favorable deal for families. If you bundle your cell service with Xfinity TV or home phone service, you may enjoy additional savings. The company offer periodic promotions that can lower the cost of multiple services, too.  

Those who don't use as much data will appreciate Xfinity Mobile's by-the-gig plans which enable you to pay for 1 GB of data for $15 per month, 3 GB for $30 per month, or 10 GB for $60 per month. Xfinity Mobile gives households a great deal of flexibility by allowing customers to mix and match plans by assigning varying amounts of data to each line connected to a single account. You can even assign one line to an unlimited plan and another to a by-the-gig plan. This makes it a great choice for households whose individual members may require more or less data throughout a billing cycle. If at any time during the month you realize you need to adjust your data plan, you may do so at no additional charge.

There's one other nice feature of Xfinity Mobile plans that we should point out. Xfinity is one of the few companies offering high-performance cellular service without requiring a long-term contract. This gives customers the opportunity to take the service out for a test drive before making a major financial commitment and risking high cancellation fees.

Trustworthiness

Xfinity Mobile was launched in 2017. The service is brought to you by Comcast, a company that is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and earns an A rating from that organization. Xfinity's network has been judged superior by independent review organizations, so that should give customers confidence in its ability to deliver high-quality mobile service.
