Pairing Comcast Business Mobile SIM with a new device
I need help with a Comcast Business Mobile SIM that was originally assigned to a tablet. I moved it to an iPhone to use for data (dual-SIM with my existing service for Voice) and the SIM‑pairing page hangs indefinitely. Data works fine but I can't enable Personal Hotspot. I need the IMEI updated and the carrier bundle re‑pushed. Live Chat seems to be always unavailable and phone support could not (or would not) resolve it or escalate to someone who can. I asked for Level 2 support as I'm told Level 1 can't do this but Level 2 can; there was a long long pause before he said he *was* Level 2 (doubtful; why the pause?). He insisted I had to add another [phone] line for $40+/month. Can any support rep in these forums please assist?
Thanks

Hi there, @user_c95cfd ! I’m really sorry you’ve been running into so many roadblocks trying to get this resolved, that sounds incredibly frustrating, especially when you already know exactly what needs to be done. I’d love to help take a closer look at this with you. From what you described, it does sound like the line may still be provisioned as a tablet, which would explain why Personal Hotspot isn’t enabling even though data is working. Getting the IMEI updated and the line properly reprovisioned should definitely be the right next step and you shouldn’t need to add another line just to fix that. You can attempt an IMEI update by logging into your Comcast Business My Account portal, navigating to Devices > Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and entering your new iPhone's IMEI.
