Verizon S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Discussion

[trucksmoveamerica#AC]

My day is filled with stalking my credit card to see if it was charged and stalking the royal Caribbean website to see if my cabin has been assigned smh

Have fun

I ask because of the distance you would have to drive to pick it up

I don't trust the CS reps over the phone. Screw that. Going to the store to make sure everything is correct!

And there is a good bakery close to the store!

My order was all messed up! I decided to go to a store and pay upgrade amount and taxes, which I knew had to be done but 3 reps, THREE, told me I would be billed. Customer service dropped the ball. So I cancelled that order and will be at the Verizon store, AN HOUR AWAY, when they open! Can't trust the phone reps!

Have you decided on the S8 or S8+ ?

I have an iPhone 7 and ordered my s8 plus straight from Samsung website.

Do I just have to swap my SIM card?

Also, does Verizon allow me to turn in my iPhone 7 without trading it towards anything?

If I'm not mistaken iPhone Sim card won't fit samsung, I went samsung to samsung no problem but when I tried 6s plus didn't work verizon said it wouldn't they gave me another one for iphone

I switch mine between my phones all the time. Same Sim in iPhone, Galaxy and Moto.

The iphone and Galaxy S8, S6, S7 all take nano sims. They are completely interchangeable.
I switch sims between my Pixel XL and 7+ all the time.

Always is that way. Sounds like Verizon is possibly starting Sunday. Question remains, will they deliver right away or will we see a note 7 shipping situation with future delivery dates?

What happened with the note 7?

 

[trucksmoveamerica#AC]

What happened with the note 7?

Everybody with all carriers were getting their shipping notices early like now, and then they say at the delivery hub with future delivery dates of release date, which here would be next Friday. Created a lot of mad people.

Verizon was more known for this. Others like T-Mobile just let them go.

Pretty sure on the note 7, all carriers did that. T-Mobile did get theirs first as usual.

Well yeah -- But if T-Mobile told them a specific date they would have waited. Verizon purposely does this to have it come out on release date so the carrier listens. T-Mobile just hands the package and says "2 day sir" so UPS/FedEx just says "OK" and gets it moving.

When I had to reorder the S8 the rep on the phone advised me that we should be getting them before the 21st (take that with a grain of salt) and i got Overnight shipping because of the mixup. Thanks Fraud Dept.

I was saying I hope they don't do what they did with the note 7. I'm well aware of Verizon's way of doing things, been with them for 18 years, LOL.

It's all good, hoping for a no repeat. I'm sure T-Mobile will be first and Verizon last as usual.

I keep clicking and checking on the status of my order.... aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, Verizon is weird when it comes to Sim cards between IPhone and Android. It'll fit and it'll work, BUT it does mess with visual voicemail. Verizon makes 2 different sim cards, a Nano NFC which is for all Android phones that use the Nano size and a Nano sim without NFC which is for Iphones.

You can swap it and if you run into voicemail issues, Then I would request a new sim.

This is correct.

So, does the nano NFC work just fine with the iPhone?

Or does it still mess up?

I'm wondering if the phone is going to arrive from Samsung with a new SIM card in it.

Idk how I would activate it at that point. I guess call them.
