Questions & Answers

Q: QuestionI purchased an unlocked Pixel 8 128GB from Best Buy Last Week. Xfinity Mobile told me the IMEI was not compatible. Xfinity sells the Pixel 8. Googling tells me others have the same issue with Xfinity. What can I do? I have already sent BB my trade in.

• A:Answer Hey Groch, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Xfinity Mobile not accepting your unlocked Pixel 8. This is a known issue, and it's because Xfinity is slow to update their compatibility list. Contact Xfinity Mobile support. Let them know that you have an unlocked Pixel 8 that you purchased from Best Buy, and that you're trying to activate it on their service. They may be able to manually activate the phone for you or try to switch carriers. I hope everything gets resolved!

• A:Answer I think it definitely should. Unlocked should work with every company. It certainly works with Verizon, and they are the ones that make you think you need to pay more for their special Verizon version of a phone.
