Comcast today announced that Xfinity Internet customers can now
bring their own Android-based devices to Xfinity Mobile by visiting
Xfinity Store locations across the country. Initially, Samsung

From July 16 to August 4, customers can get a $100 prepaid card
when they bring their own eligible Android phone, activate a new
line, and port their number to Xfinity Mobile. Devices that don’t
qualify may also be eligible to be traded in for a gift card, which
can be used to bring down the cost of upgrading to a new
device.
“By expanding our BYOD capabilities to Android-based
smartphones, we’re enabling more Xfinity Internet customers to take
advantage of the flexibility and savings Xfinity Mobile offers
while keeping the phone they already know and love,” said Billy
Stephens, Senior Vice President of Wireless Devices for Xfinity
Mobile. “Consumers are holding onto their phones longer, and we’re
looking forward to continuing to expand the lineup of Android
devices customers can bring to our network in the near future.”
Xfinity Mobile is available to Xfinity Internet customers, and
includes up to five lines of unlimited nationwide talk and text,
and no phone line access fees. Customers and can choose from two
straightforward data options for smartphones and tablets – By the
Gig or Unlimited. Unlike other providers, Xfinity Mobile gives
customers the flexibility to mix-and-match data options per user on
an account, and switch any line on an account between data options,
at any time during their billing cycle. These features, plus the
ability to access millions of Xfinity WiFi hotspots for free, are
helping Xfinity Mobile customers save hundreds of dollars per year
on their wireless bills.
