Re: Sprint offering replacements

The Sprint store won't exchange mine because I'm on a contract plan. I'm sitting in the parking lot trying to get through to Sprint on the phone.

Edit: Been on hold forever. Reps put me on hold then I was cut off twice. Back to the beginning of the queue.

For those of you with a Note 7 BOGO deal (AT&T)

Don't quote me on this, and a lot of you may already know this, just thought I would share. I just confirmed with AT&T that they will still honor the BOGO deal with any 2 phones I choose to switch to. Finally some decent news. I am so sad to let this phone go, I will never forget you Note 7 ... Best phone ... Ever.

AT&T rep told me "No more Note 7s, EVER" 😠

I just spoke with an AT&T rep, and she told me because of all of the trouble with the note 7s, they will never sell it again. This was like a punch in the gut. I really don't want to see it go, was fun while it lasted.

Samsung discontinued the note 7

Does it say that on their site though? I thought it just said they are continuing their ongoing investigation.

Verizon says the same... I bet it will become available again in other countries, but no u.s. carriers will touch it with a 50' pole...

That's my biggest concern, I used an upgrade to get this phone and without authorization how can I return it?

Well, I still have not spoken with someone who can help. The first tier support has agreed to call me when they have the next level in the line. This last try took an hour of being on hold.

Re: Sprint offering replacements

I'm most irritated that I used an upgrade for this phone and passed on my n5 to my son. I would be willing to wait for n8 if I can purchase it at upgrade price (I'm not going to lease a phone) - I wonder if this will be considered a special case and let us have a lot of leeway in this instance? I hate how this looks for Samsung, I also heard that the s8 may be pushed out sooner than originally planned. Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure they aren't going to have a choice, soon.

The plan is a complete purge by end of year. By then they might figure out the problem.

Need advice: going from BB to AT&T

I had 2 lines. Walked out of best buy with 3 lines on the BoGO deal Note 7 release. I want to trade in my N7s to best buy and then deal with AT&T. I traded in one phone for a N7, I paid an upgrade fee for another N7 and added new line on that Note 7. New line number went to my old note 5 which I gave to my son. Will I lose the new number if I return the note 7 and go to AT&T to add a phone there ? Basically I put the new line on an old phone. Does it matter?

Any other slick advice on how to return 2 note 7s to best buy. Should I pay them off, then say thanks now I want my refund for the Note 7s? .

I just don't want to deal with BB Anymore, most of the employees are morons.

I also want on the v20 Pre-order thru att and I want to keep the new number I got on note 7 release , I don't want to screw the kid over with another new number, he is disabled and a new number would confuse the hell out of him.

I am getting confused writing this so I hope I makes sense.

You will not lose the 3rd line no matter what you do with the n7 devices. The rest made my head hurt.

Re: Sprint offering replacements

After many hours, here is the best option I was given. Return my Note to the store for a refund. My contact will be cancelled, making me eligible for an upgrade. Order a Edge online.

I'm thinking of the Pixel.
