Verizon: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

[leodgr81]

I still have not received my return packaging for my Note 5. I received my Note 8 on the 5th and today is the 11th. I have already got the credit on my bill $20.00 off my bill and it also says $480.00 applied. What gives?

Where actually on VZW's site mentions the store availability date of the Note 8?

I can't find it anywhere and chatted with a CS online who said date is unknown which was BS.

It's supposed to be Sept 14, but where does it actually say that?

The official release is the 15th, when you can get it in the stores. The 14th is what was on the preorder, it had deliver by 9/14 on mine.

This from Verizon? I ordered yesterday, already received ship confirm and tracking, delivery on Wednesday. I asked about promo codes, box to return Note 5 and credit... Verizon told me it could take one or two billing cycles. I thought that was really... strange!

Was I supposed to have received email confirm regarding the $480.00 promo offer? Frankly, the VZ rep and supervisor left a lot to be desired as their promo knowledge was VERY... weak.

In the past, I received the emails after they got the trade in phones. It does take a couple to three billing cycles for the credits to appear on your bill. If it takes 3 cycles to appear on your bill you will have 4 credits on your forth bill, three credits for the cycles there were no credits and one for the new bill. In the end you will get all 24 credits, just plan on paying extra $20 a month until the credits are approved. It's usually done by the second bill cycle.

My s8+ ends in a U, so that means it's unlocked?

All Verizon phones are SIM unlocked from the factory

I had to wait a little bit before ordering. I am getting it Wednesday! never had a note but going from the s7e!

I tried to pre-order keeping my 7GB plan and trading in my Note5 but it doesn't show a trade-in on the trade-in field in the shopping cart. I tried again using the mobile app and it has a check box that says "I am trading in a device and I have an unlimited data plan or I am switching to one."

Where the mother loving hell did THAT come from? I've seen nothing in the small print until then indicating unlimited (or the new Verizon plan) was a requirement. I'll keep my Note 5 until it dies as I have no need to pay $50 more a month for data I won't use.

I just tried on my desktop again and selected change my plan and the screen said "to continue with this purchase, you'll need to select a new plan".

Disappointing to say the least.

I've got the 7GB with carryover plan for $50.00 a month and ordered the Note 8 on the phone. Granted, the reps are not that good with ordering so I had to get the supervisor on the line. He completed the order and I'll have to go back in once I've activated the Note 8 to make arrangements to trade in my Note 5. Many times with VZ, it's not as simple and effortless a process as they tell us it is. Good luck!

Did you order your Note 8 online through Verizon or from a Verizon store? I ordered my Note 8 from my local Verizon store, but the Note 8 was delivered to my home. Upon delivery of my Note 8 to my home, I turned in my S7E at the Verizon store and received a receipt from the Verizon store employee indicating I had the 50% promo. It was that simple. No waiting for boxes to return my old phone.

I ordered over the phone as I've always done w/o any problems prior. I want to run through the Note 8 to make sure I've got a good one w/o any problems before sending in my Note 5. I could probably return to Verizon store but have not confirmed this yet. Not too worried about getting the trade in credit and promo... will keep all receipts and tracking numbers. This promo with 'credits' is a first for me... we'll see how it goes.

I went to the nearest corp. store to check out the display model and then asked what my options were. The woman said the easiest was to order online. I may make a stop to the corp. store near work Wed. to explain my problem and see if they can help.

I love the Note series, just waiting for the first price drop. I don't need another SD card or Wireless charger.

I used the Verizon app this afternoon and there was no checkbox for unlimited and it let me order nice and easy. Got back e-mails confirming my 7GB plan is still good and the $480 estimate on my Note 5. I'm glad I didn't give up on it.

My Note 8 should be here Friday, if I'm home to sign for it.

The only quirk I have is a few times my phone called people I recently texted. I've had that occur with several Samsung phones. I haven't set anything up to do that so not sure why it happens. Not a big deal just a lite quirk.

I've had since 9.7 and it's thru Tmobile

I get a bunch of random Bixby voice prompts. But otherwise this phone is awesome.
