Cell phone plans can be overly complicated, so Comcast’s pitch for the simplicity of Xfinity Mobile is quite attractive — especially at a time when everything is more expensive than ever. Today, the company is announcing two simpler plans priced at $30 and $45 per month, with some serious feature pricing.
The $30 Mobile Select plan covers the core basics, including 50GB of “premium” full-speed data; Global Travel Pass to cover yourself when traveling to 215 different countries; and Xfinity’s Wi-Fi PowerBoost. That latter feature takes advantage of Xfinity’s extensive network of Wi-Fi hotspots across the country. Your phone will automatically connect to them when you’re out and about, and you’ll get priority speeds of up to 1 gigabit on those networks as well as at home.
The $45 Mobile Plus plan adds some important features. For starters, you’ll get unlimited premium data and 4K video streaming (the Select plan limits you to 720p). But more importantly, the Plus plan promises device upgrades at virtually any time. At this point, most carriers offer ways to upgrade before the usual three-year device payment plan is up, but as someone who did this late last year, I can confirm that the constantly changing promotions around phone upgrades make it difficult to know exactly what you’ll be eligible for.
However, Comcast says Mobile Plus customers can upgrade their phones at any time. I asked how this would work if I was crazy enough to switch to the Galaxy S26 six months after getting the iPhone 17 Pro, and they said it wouldn’t be a problem, no matter how much I beat up my iPhone. I’m trying to find out if there is an issue, but the company rep was very adamant about “upgrade at any time” as they put it.
Likewise, the Plus plan also includes lifetime device protection, another thing most carriers charge separately for. This also applies to any devices linked to your plan, like a smartwatch or iPad, in addition to your phone. If you need a replacement, just bring it.
Xfinity Mobile is still limited to those who subscribe to an Xfinity Internet plan. But Xfinity promises a five-year price guarantee and even lets customers try the Mobile Select plan for free for a year (or the Plus plan for $15/month), so there’s very little risk involved here.
