Anyone have any good or bad experiences to share? We've been long-time Verizon mobile customers, but are SERIOUSLY considering switching to Xfinity Mobile. Prices blow away Verizon's.

We could get three brand new 256GB iPhone XR phones and a 10GB/month plan for 32 cents less per month than we're paying Verizon for 6GB/month and paid off phones (no lease charges for phones) since all three are older iPhone 6 or 6S.

My only concern is the fact that Xfinity defaults to WIFI over cellular on any hotspot. Wondering how that affects data speeds or call quality.

    Anyone? Probably a long shot. Maybe we'll be the guinea pigs! :p I've heard good things about them from a local friend who switched to them last year, but I like to (over) analyze things before jumping in!

    I haven’t used xfinity but I used google fi for a few years which had the same “default to WiFi” caking and such when WiFi was available. I had zero issues with it and didn’t notice any change in call quality. I only switched back because you could only use nexus/pixel 1 phones when I had it and both phones had serious issues I wasn’t willing to put up with anymore

    Thanks Zach! That's very helpful, and since that was my main concern, it'll reinforce our decision if we do decide to give Xfinity a try.
