Xfinity also offers a Mobile Phone Finder feature to help locate a misplaced phone at home. To use it, pick up your Xfinity Voice Remote and say, “Xfinity Mobile, find my phone” or “find [family member’s name]’s phone.” Be sure to say “Xfinity Mobile” first. If you have multiple devices, you can assign and edit nicknames to make them easier to identify. It’s also recommended to keep your phone’s ringer on, as you may not hear it if it’s set to silent or vibrate. Have questions about tracking your lost or stolen device? Contact Support today.
