- Transferring Service: Moving and can’t take Xfinity with you? Transfer your service to another resident at your current address. Xfinity has specific guidelines for such transfers.
- Account Inactivation: Unsure about permanent deletion? Inactivate your account temporarily. This suspends service and charges but allows easy reactivation if needed.
