Most of us are familiar with the BYO concept of “bring your own,” especially when invited to a party or to watch the big game. Well, tapping into that concept, the Benton Harbor Comcast Xfinity Store in the Fairplain Plaza is now inviting you to BYOD — “bring your own device” — to the shop for those interested in switching to the Xfinity Mobile network.
Comcast announced this week that Xfinity Internet customers can now bring their own device to Xfinity Mobile by visiting Xfinity Store locations across the country, including the local store in the Fairplain Plaza. Select, unlocked iPhone models can be activated on the Xfinity Mobile network, and devices that don’t qualify may be eligible to be traded in for a gift card equal to the value of the phone, which can be used to bring down the cost of upgrading to a new device.
Rui Costa is Vice President of Product Management & Customer Experience for Xfinity Mobile, and says, “With the introduction of BYOD, we now have a convenient way for iPhone users to switch to Xfinity Mobile and get access to the best 4G LTE network plus 18 million WiFi hotspots without having to purchase a new phone.” Costa says, “A core tenet of Xfinity Mobile is that it’s simple and easy, and our in-store BYOD experience will be no different.” Costa concludes, “We are committed to simplifying the mobile experience from the moment a customer signs up, through activation and account management.”
Interested customers are invited to visit the link below for additional details and to determine if their device is eligible to take in to Xfinity Mobile. Comcast says they expect to be able to activate devices from additional manufacturers on the Xfinity Mobile network in stores later in 2018. Here’s the link:

Costa points out that “Xfinity Mobile is available to all Xfinity Internet customers, and includes up to five lines of unlimited nationwide talk and text, no line access fees, and 100 MB of shared data,” and adds, “When a customer brings their device to Xfinity Mobile they can choose from two straightforward data options – ‘By the Gig’ for $12 per GB of shared data across all lines on their account, or Unlimited for $45 per month per line.”
The Benton Township Xfinity store from Comcast is located in the corner of the Fairplain Plaza, next to Ulta Beauty.
