Xfinity Mobile Premium Unlimited Plan: 5 key points to understand

      Xfinity Mobile is shaking up the market and positioning itself as a strong rival to other providers with the introduction of the new Xfinity Mobile Premium Unlimited Plan, which features some impressive benefits. Whether you're an existing Xfinity Mobile user or considering switching carriers, here are the essential details about this plan.

      The Premium Unlimited plan essentially enhances the current Unlimited plan by adding more features and improving existing ones.

      You can upgrade your phone twice yearly

      Xfinity now provides an Elite Upgrade option with its Premium Unlimited Service. This feature permits you to upgrade your phone up to twice a year, as long as you meet the criteria, which are not as strict as you might expect. Naturally, you need to be a Premium Unlimited subscriber, and new subscribers must complete two full billing cycles before becoming eligible.

      Afterward, you simply buy a new phone through a 24-month device plan, with the cost allocated as a credit over that period. When you're ready for an upgrade, you trade in your current phone to eliminate its remaining balance and receive a discount on the new device. If you upgrade twice in a year, you'll have to wait 12 months from your first upgrade before upgrading again, and the second upgrade can only occur after 60 days from the first.

      Most individuals are unlikely to upgrade twice within a year. After all, there’s usually little incentive to do so—however, it’s good to know that the option exists in case you choose something like a Samsung and later realize you'd prefer the iPhone 17.

      Bid farewell to spam calls

      Another highly beneficial feature is Xfinity Call Guard, which alerts you to potential scam calls. It allows you to block specific numbers and simplifies the process of reporting spam calls. Xfinity refers to it as a “force field for your phone,” and given the estimated 5 billion spam calls made each month, it’s an essential addition.

      Xfinity Mobile is now faster than ever

      Xfinity WiFi PowerBoost can offer speeds exceeding a gig, whether you're at home or on the move. This service utilizes Xfinity's hotspots nationwide to provide quicker and more secure connections. There are currently over 15 million Xfinity hotspots available for all customers with compatible devices.

      Additionally, Premium Unlimited subscribers benefit from 30GB of 5G hotspot data monthly. If you need to connect another device like a tablet or laptop (or even share your hotspot with friends), you’ll have plenty of data available. Even after exhausting the 30GB, you can still use the hotspot at reduced maximum speeds.

      You can enjoy streaming in 4K UHD

      Most people use their phones for video streaming. Even if you’re not watching Netflix, you likely enjoy content on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Typically, video content streams at standard resolutions, usually around 480p to 720p, and occasionally at 1080p.

      With the Premium Unlimited plan, you can stream your favorite shows in stunning 4K resolution. Every detail and color will stand out more vividly, especially for content designed for 4K, such as Life on Our Planet on Netflix. Even if you don't often watch in 4K, having access to that capacity will reduce buffering considerably.

      Premium Unlimited has no usage limits

      As indicated by its name, the Premium Unlimited plan imposes no limits on the number of calls, texts, or data usage. This includes calls and texts to and from Mexico and Canada, giving users complete access to anyone across North America. Moreover, adding an extra line costs just $30, making it extremely affordable.

      If this sounds enticing, Xfinity offers a savings calculator to determine the cost of switching and estimate potential savings compared to your current plan. In a time when economic conditions may lead to increased costs for electronic devices, this is a great deal.

      Xfinity’s Premium Unlimited plan exemplifies the growing trend of such offers across the industry, much like T-Mobile's incentive of up to $3,200 for switching or Verizon's new three-year price lock. As competition among carriers intensifies, expect to see more of these types of services emerging. Nevertheless, the twice-a-year upgrade option in the Premium Unlimited plan is unique and presents a tough benefit to surpass.
