When I got home from returning our Note 7's I ordered a S7 Edge online and got the 32 inch tv ( going to my great grand daughter 5 yrs old haha). Very cool.
I switched the Type C cable for a regular MicroUSB cable. lol
But I left the power plug.
I think I was eligible because I was at best buy with the wife and I was going to turn in my note 7 for a cheap go phone so the BB employee cleared my phone for upgrade thinking she was going to swap phones. She took so long with my wife (3 hours) I was bored and got online with Att and went thru the pre order motions and bam, it said I was upgrade eligible so I ordered it while I could. Sure beats hours and hours at best buy and now I don't have to shell out for a temp phone either, I'll just beat the hell out of this N7 until the 28th when v20 arrives at door.
I also seen when buying att LG v20 you get a $200 credit with trade in and free headphones. I may have to visit ATT for trade in credit info. http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v20/promo/att
Returning my N7 tomorrow, did they ask for the headphones and charger?
BB has an LG Phoenix go phone for $50. Return note 7, purchase that and activate it. Go to att and pre-order v20. Or wait it out until 28th. I jumped on the pre order, who knows how many phones will be avail when released since a good note 7 crowd may be snatching them up.I traded my v10 in when I got the note 7 at the att store so I guess I'm screwed?
I wonder if I'll get my mem card? They approved it but it was not shipped yet?

I think att even has a $30 phone. Return to best buy and walk out empty handed. Buy $30 phone and pre order. But man I bet a 30 phone for a week or two would be torture LOL
I just want to get settled into a new phone and be DONE with it. The last few months have been crazy annoying.
Keep it until the V20 is released at AT&T. On V20 release day return to BB, walk out empty handed and start over with the V20 at ATT. Or return to BB now, buy a cheap temp at ATT and also get on the v20 pre order. No matter what I would run from BB while you have the chance
Hello All
Just found this thread this evening and admit up front that I did not read the 53 pages before putting up this post. As of today, I just went to Best Buy to return my "Original" Note 7 (never received a replacement - nor never had one adverse issue whatsoever) and when I went to BB in FairLakes, VA I brought all my accessories and original bag with me, intent I was there to return it and walk out with another device. That did not end up transpiring at all folks!
After discussing the matter with the Mobile Rep and Store Manager this is what I learned.
1) that I was not bound nor mandated to return the Note 7 by my carrier (VZW) nor Best Buy.
2) that if I wished to return it for the next best thing, a S7 Edge I would have to take the ONLY color they had in stock (Rose Gold) Black was the only one I had any liking toward.
3) that if I kept my Note 7 and ever had a problem with all these reported fires and melting it WOULD in fact be covered by their Geek Squad insurance coverage regardless if it burned into my bedroom dresser or not! I made sure they knew what they were saying - confirming this. They said the only thing they could obviously replace it with would be the S7 Edge. Which sounded fine by me!
Therefore I walked out of there with my same original Note 7 phone and all my gear!
What I'd like to know, after seeing it posted elsewhere in this forum, is will I NOT receive anymore security or Samsung updates since they've ceased production of this phone now?
If true then have no future w it don't I? Please tell me folks, what other negative aspects of keeping this Note 7 am I looking at here that I've decided to keep it folks? Should I just get it over with and get a Black S7 Edge or what? Please someone fill me in on what Pros and Cons am I looking at now?
Again. This visit to Best Buy was at 3pm TODAY and was even told (off the record) by a BB rep was to just keep it if I'm not experiencing any flaws or of issues whatsoever! Imagine that!

You can put the pre paid go phone on your line. You basically activating a pre paid phone but it's not on Pre pay if you have a line. It works for Both. I wish I bought one, maybe I will, it would be nice to have a beater backup phone.I have never used a prepaid in my life. How does it work. I have a VZ contract. I return Note 7. I buy LG Optimus Zone 3 4G LTE prepaid for $29.99 till whenever The LG V20 comes out. Do I just activate it and buy prepaid minutes on top of my family plan already in place? THanks for the info anyone.
