T-Mobile Note 7 Recall Thread

[anon(782252)]

I just talked to T-Force on Twitter. They told me current Note owners would get dibs on the replacements. We'd get a text on how to proceed. She said the new one would be shipped to me with a return label for the loaner and recalled device. No bothering with a retail location at all. Sounds good to me!

They told me the exact same thing.

I called T-Mobile this morning to try and set up having a replacement Note 7 mailed to me and that rep said that I will have to go into a retail store to do the exchange and turn in my loaner. Kind of bummed because that will just add to the amount of time I have to spend there compared to just going in and dropping them off. Obviously this info may vary depending on which rep you talk to but it's what I was told this morning. The only reason I can think they wouldn't ship to individuals it is cuts down on time for them to get the units out; as in just put a bunch on a pallet and send them to a store instead of having to package each one individually and create labels for them.

I hope T-Force was right and the rep you spoke to is wrong. I live pretty far from a retail store and am currently working 6 days a week. There's no way I'm driving to a store on my one day off.

Do they know you want one and have it shipped? I was looking in the Note 5 section and someone likes the Note 5 better. They returned to the Note 5 when they had to stop using the N7 and may not go back.

That might have been me, or perhaps a few of us. Now though I've been debating and I want my Note 7 back

They haven't shipped one yet. I'm definitely on their list that I signed up for to get a replacement though.

I called two local tmobile stores in my NE Ohio area and both said they're expecting stock on the 21st

That's great news, on another note... Playing with my girlfriends iPhone 7 plus Apple made a great device... Battery life is amazing so far

That irritates me because I was told less than a week ago that it wouldn't matter. That's the main reason I returned ours.

I would be so ooo pissed if I can't get it right away. I was pressured into returning for a loaner with the impression I can swap when it came out. If I get put in the back of the line, I'm going to lose it!

Agreed. Same thing with me.

Hmm, I received a call from my local T-Mo store this morning. The person I always deal with there told me that they received some Coral Blue Note 7s that are replacement phones. She also told me that they would be receiving more units on the 21st as well. I decided to factory reset my current Note 7, box it all up, and swap it out. I literally just stopped by and exchanged it for a new one. Since I was in a bit of a hurry, I didn't even bother to fiddle around with the new one. Plus I'm still using my Note 5 as we speak. I really didn't see a reason to bother with it at the time. So I tossed it in my backpack and continued on with my day. I got home several hours later and decided to pull the box out. I didn't even break the seal on it yet because I caught a glimpse of the label on the box. I called the store and spoke to the girl about the phone. I told her that it's one of the devices that Samsung has recalled, given the date on the label. But she stated that these were devices that Samsung just sent back to their store. She even reassured me that they wouldn't even be allowed to sell them if they weren't cleared, but either way I can still exchange it again for another one on the 21st. I honestly believe that my first Note 7 wasn't defective because out of 1 million devices in the US, the percentage is miniscule. I may just play around with this new one and exchange it anyways.

I don't get it I called T-Mobile 3 times and they said they aren't shipping Note 7's out. They have to be traded in store. I would prefer for mine to be shipped out......than sitting in the store waiting for Smart switch to work....Ugh!

What state are you in. I'm really surprised they're already being distributed

Well I'm from California, and I'm not entirely sure if the new replacement I got today was actually passed by Samsung. Or if it is merely just confusion on my local stores part. Wouldn't the label look different compared to the one I posted? It's the same looking label that my other Note 7 box had. IIRC, shouldn't there be a black square or "S" sticker on the upper right-hand corner?

Check the IMEI on the recall site....
Looks the same as the Blue one my coworker got last week... Same production date

Did his IMEI come up as part of the recall? Because this one did, but with that production date. All of them will appear on Samsung's recall database.

 

[nobrakes]

I thought Samsung said all devices sold before September 15th, not manufactured before September 15th that were recalled

I just checked his imei from the photo he posted and it says it is AFFECTED
