Xfinity's home phone is $40 a month before taxes and fees, only works with Xfinity Internet, and if you cancel the bundle before porting out, Comcast keeps your number. BabbleBlue Home is $11.99 a month flat over any connection — keep Xfinity Internet if you like it, and the phone stops caring who your ISP is.
Comcast's own pricing list, effective January 2026. Bundling with Xfinity Internet can drop the line to about $20 at checkout — a price Comcast doesn't publish, tied to keeping the bundle.
Per month, no contract, cancel anytime. Works over any internet — including Xfinity's. Taxes where required by law.
Xfinity Voice requires Xfinity Internet and their voice-capable gateway. Switch ISPs or move outside their footprint and the line dies with the bundle — and if you cancel before porting out, your number goes back into Comcast's pool. Our adapter plugs into whatever router you have and doesn't ask who your internet provider is.
Taxes, fees, and surcharges add roughly $10 to $12 a month on top, per independent reviews — including a "Regulatory Cost Recovery" fee that Comcast's own pricing list admits is "neither government mandated nor a tax." Older plans add a gateway lease of up to $15 a month, activation is $29.95, and battery backup is a $65 case with the batteries sold separately.
Comcast simplified its internet pricing in 2025 and its TV pricing that December; home phone got neither. Every voice plan except $40 Premier is closed to new customers, and their own annual report expects wireline voice to keep shrinking. Home phone is our main business, not a line item we forgot about.

Xfinity Voice pricing and plan details from Comcast's residential pricing lists (effective January 1, 2026) and xfinity.com, July 2026. Comcast doesn't publish a bundled price for Voice; the ≈$20 figure is reported by independent reviews. Plans and pricing change; check their site for current terms.
Takes a few minutes. If you'd rather do the whole thing over the phone with a person, call (855) 801-2441 and we'll set you up start to finish.
Grab your Comcast account number from a bill and your Home Phone Security PIN from your Xfinity account (Account & Identity → Service Access); we file everything else. The one rule: keep Xfinity Voice active until the port completes, or Comcast reclaims the number.
It ships with the service. Router on one side, your existing phone on the other, dial tone in the middle. It works over any connection — so keep Xfinity Internet if it's good where you live. The phone just doesn't have to be on their bill anymore.
No, and most people don't. BabbleBlue runs over any internet connection, Xfinity's included — the adapter plugs straight into their gateway. One honest caveat: if your Voice line was part of a bundle discount, your internet price may shift when you drop it. Check what internet-only costs before you cancel the line, then do the math against $11.99. It usually still works out well in your favor.
Yes, and it's not close at the sticker price: $40 a month plus roughly $10 to $12 in taxes and fees versus our $11.99 flat. Bundled with their internet, Voice can drop to around $20 at checkout — but Comcast doesn't publish that price, it rides on the bundle staying intact, and it's still more than $11.99 before the fees land on top.
Yes. Porting from Xfinity is free and we handle the paperwork. You'll need your Comcast account number and your 4-digit Home Phone Security PIN (in your Xfinity account under Account & Identity → Service Access — note it's not the same as an Xfinity Mobile transfer PIN, which trips up their own reps sometimes). And the golden rule: keep your Xfinity service active until the port completes. Cancel first and the number returns to Comcast's pool.
No. The adapter ships as part of the service — no gateway lease, no $29.95 activation, no install kit fee. Your existing corded or cordless phones plug into it and work like they always have.
The same thing that happens to Xfinity Voice: any phone that runs over the internet needs power and a working connection. The difference is what happens next. Their answer is a $65 battery case — six lantern batteries sold separately, really — which keeps the modem up in a power outage but does nothing when their network is down. Ours is automatic failover, included: set a backup number in your panel (your cell, say) and the moment your adapter drops offline, calls forward there until it's back. Voicemail still emails you either way, and the mobile app keeps working from your phone.
Yes. Canadian numbers, Canadian service addresses, and 9-1-1 are all supported, and unlimited US & Canada calling is included on every plan. One caveat: we currently ship adapters to US addresses only, so Canadian customers bring their own standard ATA (we'll recommend one if you call) or use the app. Prices are in USD.
No. $11.99 a month, month to month, cancel anytime. And if you leave, your number ports out the same way it ported in: free, with no security-PIN scavenger hunt.
$11.99 a month over any connection, with the adapter, porting, and features included. No gateway lease, no fee stack, no bundle holding your number hostage.
