If you want a nice case but don't want to stump up 50 quid for one, I walked into O2 today (in Stafford) and they discounted the s view stand case from 50 quid to 37 without me even asking.
Worth trying if you are in O2 and fancy a nice case.

Cheers Andy.
Been wanting a decent flip case. See they are now on amazon for that price. Will wait till they drop a bit yet.
1 non oem now showing up now for a tenner or so also.

Loving my Spigen ultra hybrid and winged defender screen protector setup for now. Works great.

Hi UK N8'ers.

I am looking for some info re providers.
Time for me to start looking for a new sim deal.

Who you with, do they provide both VoLTE and VoWifi?
Did you buy direct from Samsung or via the provider?

I'm currently with EE. No issues at all. Had to flash the EE software for VoLTE as my Note is direct from Samsung.

Cheers,

I'm with BT who use EE network(I think BT own EE) as I'm with their internet also, I get a SIM for £5 per month, 400 mins, unlimited texts and 500mb data.
I changed jobs recently which allows me to have WiFi on tap all day so I didn't need much data.
No issues at all and I also have the WiFi calling option, although I've not tried it or know if BT support it but the option is there.

Was almost certain bt didn't offer Volte or wifi calling.
Can you confirm.? ( turn off mobile network - do you get the WiFi calling symbol and make calls?)
If you get Volte, the symbol should be present most of the time.

Price, well I am always going to get stung as I need a lot of data.

 

[evohicks]

Yeah BT are in the process of setting it up apparently. Not sure how to disable mobile network without turning on airplane mode

Anyone heard back from Samsung about the DeX yet?

 

[Papi11on]

I contacted Samsung's Customer Service team yesterday (6 Oct) and again I was asked to submit a PDF of proof of the date I ordered my Note8 and a purchase receipt. Still haven't heard back from anyone if my Claim Number will be honoured.

 

[Kath1404]

[evohicks]

I hope we get them before the 26th, I go on holiday for 2 weeks then

I’m off on holiday on the 28th. I agree it would be nice to get it before then.

I got a rejected email yesterday. Saying my attachments were unreadable....
It was a screenshots of my invoice. I still have the screenshot and it's perfectly fine.
Anyway, resubmitted a new one.
