    10th Anniversary Bundle

    I can't totally help, but I can some. I use a Mac for work and use the apple buds on conference calls all day and everyone tells me I sound great. I also take several calls on my Note 10+ with the samsung buds and everyone tells me I sound great. Although, the hubby says there is a slight echo...

    Who still can't make up their mind... Note 10 or nah?

    I, too, just jumped on the black friday deal. I'm thinking that when the new note comes out next summer, the trade in value should be about the same, if not more, than what I am paying. Especially factoring in the free buds.

    Who still can't make up their mind... Note 10 or nah?

    I was on the fence, too. But, there just isn't enough reason to upgrade for me. I'll wait until next August. This will be the first time I haven't preordered in several years.

    Do I need to roll back to Oreo to download the Pie? No update yet.

    I am on standard build on the unlocked model and have NOT received the Pie update, yet. It's a little depressing.

    iTunes or iTunes Replacement?

    Here is a link with more info. I don't think it's in the apple store. I didn't get it from the app store originally, years ago. https://play.google.com/intl/en-US_us/about/music/unlock/

    Voicemail on unlocked

    Visual voicemail came preinstalled on my unlocked Note 9. I think it is an android app, rather than a Samsung one. But, it is a purple/blue icon with the voicemail symbol on it.

    Verizon and Unlocked

    Well, it is an unlocked phone. I don't recall installing any app and just remember it being there. It's got a purple icon and I believe it is an android app since the icon did not change when I applied my current theme. Verizon's voicemail app icon on the Note 8 was red and white.

    Verizon and Unlocked

    Actually, the default voicemail app on the Note 9 is visual voicemail!

    Verizon and Unlocked

    I have an unlocked that I bought through Samsung and use on Verizon. In my opinion, you have more options, not less. One of the things I always hated with Verizon were the apps they loaded to get you to pay more money that were already features of android (caller ID and spam blocking is a...

    First Impressions

    Super easy. You can either type in your commands or speak them. I was actually surprised by how easy it was!

    What are the benefits of an unlocked phone vs a carrier phone?

    My Note 9 is still covered under the multi-device plan. If you don't have that, you may want to check.

    What are the benefits of an unlocked phone vs a carrier phone?

    I got the phone from Samsung. I guess I assumed that would still be applicable since I have the family protection plan being billed to my account. I'll have to check that out! I'll update here once I find out.

    What are the benefits of an unlocked phone vs a carrier phone?

    I am on Verizon and this is my first unlocked phone. Verizon (and other carriers, I believe) block certain stock apps and install their own apps that you cannot delete. For example, the spam blocking app on Samsung is removed and replaced with Verizon's that requires a monthly fee. There are...

    Post Pictures Taken With Your Note 9

    Re: Post Pictures Taken With Note 9 I tried to post my pics but the forum won't let me. :-( I agree that the colors are a bit warm.
