Carrier Recall Thread

And of course Verizon is completely silent about the issue.

The battery supplier doesn't need to be publicly outed to get a bad rap. I'm sure they are footing the bill for the batteries at the very least or they just lost their Samsung contract which could put them out of business.

I'm talking from a public standpoint. If you read the op's post I'm sure you realized this thread is about the batteries NOT being the reason for the recall in the first place. Obviously if the batteries are not the real problem why would they lose their samsung contract. If they recall for glass then corning gets a bad rap since we all know who manufactured the glass. Then Corning would blame it on Samsung for having modified the integrity of the glass by curving it...and so on. This would be a public perception nightmare. Anyways, I'm just having fun with this conspiracy theory. It's highly improbable that this is what is going as the battery manufacturer would have a hell of a case against samsung...unless of course they are a subsidiary of samsung

Re: Recall just a cover up for bad GG5?

perhaps there will be a fire-retardant case issued to all owners in the meantime.

Yup I think that is going to be the trend. Get a S7 for free while u wait. Samsung cannot expose themselves to the risk of someone getting hurt while they wait for new note 7 in 2 weeks.

I hope T-Mobile does the same. Give us a similar device while we wait for a replacement.

Yup might be a refurbished one. But still a good deal from a customer perspective

All Carriers including Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon are all saying the same thing Call Samsung!!!

I wouldn't care as long as I have something to use while my phone is replaced.

What's Verizon got to say?

Messaged Verizon this morning. Was told phone orders were being processed as normal and new orders were being taken.

Sprints update via Twitter

Immediate exchanges until it's resolved.

What the "bleep" is a comparable phone? I traded my iPhone 6s Plus for the Note 7 because it was far from comparable to the quality, features, and size of the GN7...a really stupid statement by Sprint.

Stop. Just stop posting for 5 minutes and relax.

Three of the four carrcars have made material, public communications yet you are sitting there calling and speaking to phone reps who know less than we do about this recall.

Are you sure they are loaners? Seems expensive burden on carriers, since they do not maintain in-box premium loaners. Be careful, since might be a permanent exchange.

Sprint already released a statement. It says you can check with Samsung for updates but they will be exchanging for temporary phones while everything is sorted out.

I don't know how that exchange would work with my EIP if it were permanent. I would have to get something in writing that would say this is a loaner until I get my replacement.

And of course Verizon is completely silent about the issue.

They should say: "Please refer to Samsung's statement. Since Samsung still is not sure and will take a up to few weeks to understand the actual impact, we will update when Samsung does."

What else could they objectively say at this point?

The phone is still for sale on the site.

If that's actually true someone at Verizon ought to be looking for a job.

I haven't heard anything from At&t either, but it's still early.

I just noticed that the Note 7 is not listed at all for sale on the ATT site right now.

There's a sticky that contains statements from Samsung and the carriers.

Though I'd keep this thread open just so we can get updated info.
