Hey All!
I started this thread as I saw one similar for Amazon but wanted an area to discuss the recall specifically from Verizon as I have heard many different things and little information is available online as well as it keeps changing.
1st DiscussionI had:
I broke my Note 7 the same day Samsung announced the recall. Of course Verizonor Samsung reps were not helpful at all this day.
2nd Discusion:
A few days later I called Samsung and discussed what was going on and all they could say was to go through my carrier to see what procedures they have in place but they are taking them back in ANY condition.
3rd Discussion:
Called Verizon store and they said I couldexchange it or return it but had to be before Sept. 30th. I advised I think I was past due so he said i needed to be current. Ihad a rough chat after this as I explained I got a recalled device but they wont have replacement Note 7s by that time and if I return my phone I wont have one to use and the next best thing being the S7 Edge which I traded in my S7 for the Note 7 sowhy the heck would I go back to my original device that I owned and have to pay installments on it? I said this is all depending I can get current prior tothe 30th. He basically said good luck and that was that.
4th Discussion:
Same day I immediately called customer care and they toldmesimilar but turns out I wasonly 12$ past due smh.
5th Discussion:
Same day went down to the store and paid the 12$. Thinking I had no choice, Iexchanged my broken Note 7 for aNew S7 Edge. I was told once I exchanged it that was it and I cannot get the Note 7 when they recieve replacements. I told the lady I had no choice and made the switch.
6th Discussion:
Today I called customer care to make a payment and figured I would ask about the Note 7 again. This rep proceeds to tell me that even though I exchanged it for another device, I CAN STILL change it again for the Note 7 once available. She stated that the store rep advised incorrectly and that might have been the case at that moment in time but they have internal links and documents stores can reference saying we will replace it for all original Note 7 users regardless if they already exchanged it. So essentially she is saying I exchanged my original Note 7 for a new S7 Edge and can exchange it again for a new Note 7 once available.
I have read others being advised differently so post below your experiences and any related links or documents confirming my last discussion or call them yourselves and share what they advise to you!
I really hope I can get a Note 7 once available again as that is the phone I wanted and originally purchased but initial associates forced me to exchange by making it seem there was no other option on top of a strict deadline with 0 idea when new ones would be available.
She also said it would b3 possible to complete over the phone once they have replacement devices availablesoIcanavoid the storealtogether
just went into the store forsome accessories nasked again and he told me if i wanted the Note 7 I wouldve had towait that the rep over the phone was lying lol
such a mess and they cant gettheir facts straight

Should of told him he was lying and to do his damn job.
I exchanged my Note 7 for an HTC 10 on Monday 9/12, the lady that helped me told me that i could go back and exchange the HTC 10 for a replacement Note 7 once they get them in stock. She said it would be one to two weeks and that i would have to keep checking in to see if they had them in, there was no wait list or anything like that.
But you're right, the in-store people mostly don't know. i had gone the day before, Sunday 9/11, and the person i talked to that day told me that i would have to hold onto my original Note 7 till they got replacements, that they weren't doing any exchanges.

yea man, theyre ridiculous for sure lol i am diggin the s7 edge but would definitely like to get the Note 7 back once in.. it wasnt our fault they recalled the device lol i am hoping when they get them in stock that i can just deal over customer service instead of the store.. he seemed oblivious still at the whole process.

Thing is how many were sold in Canada and they said up to 22,000 by end of month.
from what i have been reading on verizon forums I do believe you need to exchange your N7 for another device before Sept. 30th and once new N7 devices are available you can switch back.. ive been told this over the phone and many others onthe forums.. you can ONLY switch your exhanged "loaner" device for another N7 of course..
i really hope this is true and wish Verizon would post this process publicly if so
I just got an email from Samsung that retail outlets should have replacements by 9/21. Can't wait to dump this Verizon loaner.

on phon3 with vzw tryna see if i can still exchange it, she dont know so contacting another dept to find out.. such a pita
That's for sure the case and they can jerk you around all they want but it will happen. When I exchanged my Note for the HTC 10 they didn't have a list or anything but I made it clear in no uncertain terms I'd be dumping it on their counter for a Note 7 the day they returned. They completely agreed but there was no system in place. They were confused despite there being others there doing the same. Just check in every day do they have it? Show up with your phone. Problems? Keep asking to speak to a manager. You're not going to get answers ahead of time because they just don't know.

after an hour n 20min., she called the store and then in their policies it clearly states we can exchange n7 for another "interim" device and back to the n7 when available.
you can even trade the interim device for another non n7 but in that situation it would be a restocking fee.
she clearly documented my account with the store rep and their managers nameand all the details. I also recorded the entire conversation this time.
she also said vzw is supposed to notify us when they have them no later than the 21st but i surely will call them every day lol
luckily she called my store so when i go in i have names and documentation on my account.
the interim phone does need to be in good shape so dont damage your "loaner" lol
Nice. I have my loaner in a box, I hated it. I only kept it so I wouldn't get jerked around getting my 7 back. I do not believe they will call us, every news report said Verizon won't have a replacement for everyone on first pass and knowing them they will sell them to new customers too. I'm sure they had the largest initial sell through.

hopefully everyones buyin the Apples lol. i broke my initial n7 so best believe i bought a glass protector and a otterbox defender for my interim s7e just in case lmao
They still have no idea when they will be in. Could be up to a month is what she told me on phone despite Samsung's email. This whole experience has become so frustrating, maybe a different phone is the right idea. I had a moment of madness where I thought I'd go get the 7Plus to spite...myself? Ugh.

Just wondering how the turnout was. Any lines how many others on the pre order list etc? Someone on engadget posted this, im kinda surprised ...
" Pre ordered mine in Alabama- got there after church early service about 1.5 hours before BB opened at 11. I went ahead and stood at the doors even though nobody was there yet-just messed with my phone for awhile. About 20 minutes before the doors opened, a line started to form and by 11 there were about 30-35 people in line for pre orders, surprisingly a wide range of ages- about 25-30% female and 70-75% male. I was shocked to see a line period. Figured I'd be the only one."

Dude, please tell me you have pictures? My BB had lots of people out line, but none of them for the XOOM. Do you live in a tech savvy district? I find it odd that anywhere would have a line for the XOOM, but it's encouraging.
I just bee-lined for the mobile department and some cute chick handled my pre-order. I played with a galaxy tab for about two minutes then left.
Heh, what line? I went in at 11:00am-ish and they open at 10am. Went over to wait for help in the celluar area, talked to the salesperson about pre-ordering and then left. I asked and they said I was the first person even to ask about pre-ordering.

That's what I get for skimming the post
The BB's in MA don't open until 11:00 on Sundays (vestiges of the old Blue Laws). I got to the store at 10:45. There were a dozen or so cars in the parking lot with people waiting, as no one wanted to stand outside in the cold (20* F) and wind. They opened the doors right at 11:00 and I was the first one in the store. I walked right over to the mobile counter and asked about the pre-order. They pulled a spiral notebook out of the locked cabinet behind them which had the pre-order info in it (for the Xoom and Thunderbolt), scanned the bar code on it and filled in my info on the first page, then rung up the pre-order with the $50 gift card. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes, and none of the other people waiting were there for the Xoom.
I did find it interesting that not all BB's were doing pre-orders for the Xoom. I called 3 last night, and 2 out of the 3 were doing pre-orders.
BB in my area was a joke
Only myself and one other person were there at open yesterday to pre-order. Both of us were told they were not doing pre-orders for the xoom. I laughed and said its on your website so look it up. 10 min later they found it and placed our orders. Considering we all know this was in their play book, they had training and this is usually a good best buy I was disappointed by their stupidity. In the end its ordered so as long as it comes in and I get a call on Thursday I will be happy.
I just returned from Best Buy (Knoxville, TN), worked yesterday so I didn't have time to stop by. The person at the Mobile center wasn't sure they were taking pre-orders, she had to ask a couple of people. Funny thing is when she got confirmation she knew exactly where to go in their little folder of pre-order forms, flipped right to the XOOM and pulled one out. Based on what I saw there was only one other pre-order from this location. All in all, quick and painless.
I just left Best Buy in Miami, FL and tried to inquire about pre ordering the xoom, and also to check if I could use a 10% coupon. I went to the mobile section and asked a girl about the xoom and she gave me a "deer caught in the headlights" look. She said, "oh, you mean the iPad thingy?" I said, "please don't call it an iPad." She checked with another of the associates and sent me to the computer section. I just decided to leave ASAP. I'll try another Best Buy later.

No matter where I have worked, I learned as much as I could. It bothered me in my first week at a new job, having to ask for help, how can these people go years oblivious.
I went to the bestbuy in georgia..at about 10:45 there were maybe 10-15 people there.When the doors opened I thought for sure everyone was headed for the Xoom..but it turned out that none of them went near the mobile center.I was the only & 1st person to pre-order the Xoom.

Same here 12:20 and I was the first one pre order. Its funny though cuz the sales rep I spoke to didn't even know what it was. She thought it was a phone. But I said its not a phone. Then she looked into the inventory then asked me is it a tablet? I was satisfied finally she got what I was asking for. I kept waiting for another 20 mins while she trying to look for where to do pre order. As long as I got my xoom im happy.

Ours was weird. I stood in line at the mobile center for maybe 15 minutes while people got their phones replaced, wireless modem cards fixed, etc. When I asked about the Xoom, he asked me to follow him to the magnolia room and did the pre-order back there. Never had that happen before. No idea how many people ultimately pre-ordered in our store.
i walked in today around 3pm and asked about it. the staff said that the preorder guaranteed a unit if they shipped to that store, not that they (the store) were guaranteed units in the first place.
no thanks bb...... ill chance a direct buy from vzw or or costco....

Well lets wait until motorola out the number of xoom sold then we'll all know, at least nationwide not one store particularly. But best buy site says xoom pre order is now on back order. Wondering if they really just sold their whole stock ones on day one.

That is always the deal on pre-orders. The date is subject to change and they often don't know how many they will get if any.
i agree, but preorder to me says i will definitely get a unit on release date, not that i will get one if they ship. the least bb as a corp could do is say yes this store will get a delivery of units. but i guess in this day and age of advanced supply and management systems a store cant tell if they are going to get them.
if i preorder and the store says sorry we did not get any, i would run my complaint as far up as i could go.

I'm gonna be pretty pissed if my store doesn't get at least 2 units (I was #2) - They shouldn't advertise you can pick up the unit in that store on the 24th if you aren't guaranteed it.

It is possible to activate the 3G with another carrier? or it's blocked to Verizon ? like here, in Canada..
I think that's specific enough - I'm kicking myself for this but I've got just as excited as everyone else about what is just another phone, techgasm indeed. However, now it's happened I'm going to embrace it.
Anyone heard anything from T-Mobile yet? I ordered mine on 22nd Feb, I've been receiving annoying weekly txts ever since telling me they haven't forgotten me, including one yesterday, I phoned 150 to ask when it was coming and they said shipping on the 16th. That strikes me as codswallop, no-one does anything on the weekend, and the phone call was so vague "Nothing on your record to say there are any delays" but no real info.
Anyone? Anything? Entitlement much?
And I'm even talking to myself - So the T-Mobile site has gone down, and there is no facility to have an online chat with someone (phone chat is utterly pointless). T-Mobile are WORSE THAN HITLER (unless it arrives today)
I think guys tmobile won't be delivering anything until 29th as no news of stock news available.
P4U do have upgrade stock ready for dispatch today.

Welcome to my world.
There is only one reason & one reason alone that I am with T-Mobile & that is my fnf discount. If it was not for that I would have left them years ago.
When the phone went live on there website I called them to order the phone. After going through the plans I was told I could not order the phone !! Eventually I was allowed to order the phone on 1st March but only after being told I had to switch to ee to keep my discount ( nice try ).
So I have been trawlling T Mobile's social meadia & they are so full of it.
Anyway I got a message yesterday via the HTC facebook page that they were shipping phones to T-Mobile today. So I guess once they have put there logo & crappy software on the phone then you will get it.
Right, well I just got off the phone again because my last conversation wasn't in the least bit convincing but this time at least the chap was certain, T-Mobile don't have any in stock and won't have until the end of the month (it'll "definitely" be in my hand by the 1st April but that date is highly auspicious considering events thus far).
On the plus side he did credit my account with a £20 "good will" credit as I've been waiting so long. You might as well get onto them, see how many different answers we get and who gets the best goodwill handout.

I've now been told they are expecting the stock NEXT week! After telling me several times that I would be getting my phone this week......and they took the money 2 weeks ago when I ordered......
I was offered no cash incentive for the delay or offer to refund the cost of the handset like others have had......i'm looking for a deal elsewhere me thinks!

I called back, asked for a tracking number, the Philippine? call handler hung up.
I called back, got through to a Scottish call handler who put me through to Customer Connect for a tracking number.
No tracking number because no stock in the warehouse.
An entry onto the computer system's Inappropriate Call Log has been made about the fact that I was lied to.
I'm escalating the matter for a discount/compo.

Same - I am getting a good deal......but think it might be worth trying elsewhere....problem is I won't get such a good 18 month deal - really don't want 2 year contract.
I just wish they would be straight with us and tell us whats going on - you can tell when you call that they are fed up with us calling - i spoke to an Australian guy that I spoke to 2 weeks ago - he just keep saying things like we should be getting it next week or whatever - the really should know!

i last early upgraded to iphone 5 in november and i was eligible for a full upgrade yesterday over the phone after a few threats of going to tmobile. maybe its because i have a premier acct? idk but it works every time a new phone i want comes out

Wow, that's not even close to a year of usage and you got an early upgrade. What did you tell them? Nice.

no Service issues. Which was mostly true though. Several Note 2 replacements and SAME issue kept happening Was not a network issue as did not happen on any other device I stuck my sim in. I think it had to do with the area and the phone not liking how it kept wanting to connect to LTE
I tried a few days ago by calling in but they wouldn't budge for me, my contract ends in Jun 2013. I just did a test call to my nearest ATT Company store & mentioned that I'm thinking of leaving to TMO if I wasn't able to get an early upgrade for $199. They basic said ok cya in not so many words but would be willing to do an early upgrade for $499. Very disappointed with this but their lost. I;ll try calling AT&T in a few days when I make up my mind in staying if I plan to stay with AT&T to see if I can get an early upgrade. I'll give it a few tries before giving up if they turn me down.

I think it depends on who speak with. There are some nice people who have no issues with giving early upgrades and then there are those who just don't care. Keep trying! It's been a year since I got my s3 and I want to get the s4 and I hope they give it to me.

Hey be patient. You cant always get your way. They gave you a date which is one month away. Are you going to leave every carrier that doesnt give you your way? Geez. Good luck in life with that kind of mindset.
My upgrade was supposed to be this September. But I got it for $199 at the store on launch.
I did. I've been eligible since January. Opened contract march of 2012. But after some bad customer service I'm getting my s4 delivered tomorrow free of charge.

Seriously, what does life have to do with this?
anyways, If they don't want to give in to a loyal long term customer in good standing then so be it. I will leave any carrier if I find one that is cheaper for me & family & has better things to offer.

I'm jealous. Enjoy your new phone!
Walmart ATT mobility center moved my upgrade date from May 4th, to May 1st (today) and I got mine. Loving it so far. Can't complain about $168 at wally world!
I switched to AT&T from Sprint back on December 31, 2012. I got the Galaxy S III and last month I was having issues with making calls and getting GPS signal. After the troubleshooting failed, they went ahead and did a warranty replacement. When I got the refurbished phone, I told them that I wasn't going to accept it because someone returned the phone for a reason (and not to mention I hate the idea of refurbished phones as a consumer). After being transferred to several agents, one guy said he would send me a brand new Galaxy S III (unopened). In addition, he let me get an early upgrade to the S4. I will be selling me unopened Galaxy S III on Craigslist to make up the money that I spent on the S4 (not to mention a little profit).
Personally ill buy refurb over anything in most cases. Reason being most consumer electronics companies hand inspect/ fix returned devices broken or not! Meaning better quality control vs buying your new s4 of the assembly line which may or may have not been checked by a real human.. Think about it. Even though usually buying refurb results in worse warranty though..
I don't know if this I common knowledge or not (sorry if it is), but I just spoke with a Tmo rep (so take this info with a grain of salt), and she stated Samsung gave them a timeframe in which they would start selling the Note 7s again. She stated the memo said they would receive new shipments in 1-3 weeks. Just thought I'd let everyone know since I'm sure, like me, there are members here waiting for the re-release.
Grain of salt?? This entire Samsung episode and the process of returning my N7 has made me very salty. I got grains for days.
I was told by a rep last week that by this Friday they would have them in stock.
listening to reps of any carriers is useless, i called in more then few they all tell me different ****tnanagens. BUT, i did got some answer from Samsung USA help hotline manager and say that they are dealing with the some kind of gov. approval or something. 2-3 weeks. and that was last week already. maybe beginning of the last week of the month i assuming.

I thought us current owners were supposed to get them before they go on sale to everyone else! I'll be pretty mad if they're out of stock because they sold them all while here I am waiting!

You're correct. Samsung has indicated that existing owners get priority replacement before sales of new devices.
As long as you understand that "selling in 1-3 weeks" means to those who have never owned the device. Replacements for those with the device should be MUCH sooner.
Funny, talked to a rep yesterday they said the replacements will come in atleast a month
So Samsung is telling cell phone salesmen when they will return, but not the government or shareholders or media or news or anything huh?
i spoke to t-mo 2 days ago and was told they have not been given a timeframe yet. but i assume since the cpsc got involved it will be longer then we want as they apparently need to approve the devices in the U.S. before we see them and if they wanna hold off on approving them then we will have to wait until they say ok. which i am sure they will catch hell for if it's not a quick approval. but they could find a faulty unit and say no. we will have to wait and see though

I knew it was too good to be true. Some people still seem to think replacements will arrive sometime this week. I highly doubt it. The 1-3 week timeframe is optimistic as it is. For what it's worth, Samsung may have given Tmo the timeframe before the CPSC got involved.
At this point, I'm waiting to see whether the V20 is coming out before the Note 7 is re-released. I'll get whichever is available first.
I give it a month before we see replacement devices

I'll believe it when they're in the stores. I've been lied to so much by T-Mobile over the past week I won't even believe the sun rises in the east until I see it with my own two eyes.
I'm going to be pushing that promotion for all it's worth. When my loaner S7 Edge comes, I'm reaching for the VR. When the replacement Note 7 is in, it'll be another SD card. It's too bad I can't jam that up T-Mobile's ass.
Samsung's announcement said the 21st. We'll see.

I suspect so if the color you want is in stock. Blue wasn't available on the first day, and the news of toaster Note 7s started to hit the next week.
You'll be getting a new EIP if what the senior customer service rep told me is accurate. Take that with a boulder of salt.

None here in TN just yet (outskirts of Nashville) . Called Best Buy where I got mine, rep told me they have VZW units in, but can't do the swaps yet. And they're still waiting on AT&T units. Some garble about Samsung and the carriers have to work something out between eachother and I'll receive a call or email when I'm able to come in and swap.

Guys relax. I understand wanting the fixed version but some things you shouldn't rush. I rather them take a little bit longer and fix everything than rush it and has other issues. Its frustrating i know but good things come to those who wait.

Well, the thing is, Samsung HAS fixed it. It's now being delayed due to 3rd party involvement.
Samsung has the phones fixed, but we and the carriers can't get them now due to CPSC takeover. I'm not sure what the CPSC does exactly, but I'm guessing that they now need to make sure that the fixed phone's don't have any potential problems too. I read that they will need to make sure that the problem is actually just contained to the batteries, and that by changing the battery, there isnt still a risk factor.
Personally, I'm not really whining about it too much. What I'm a little frustrated about is the fact that I can't swap my phone out NOW and im getting all these messages like, "Power down your phone NOW." I can't afford to go without my phone (it's my only line of communication in the case of an emergency, for work, and for personal use. I don't have a land line or another cell phone), so I need to be able to swap my phone for another right on the spot, or to have a replacement sent to me and me send the old one back (charge me if I don't or whatever). I also can't really go for an S7 Edge either because I use my S-pen daily for work, and because swapping between my Note7->temp phone->new Note7 would just be too much of a hassle with all my files and stuff. The only other reason im not running scared to an AT&T store to do a temp swap is because my phone feels fine.
Long story short, this whole thing has just become annoying. I'm not mad about it all, nor at Samsung. And yeah, as some have pointed out elsewhere, this would be a whole lot better if Samsung had put in removable batteries. Lol. (And yes, the phone could still be waterproof with a removable battery. The S5 was).
Anyways, back on topic I guess. Lol

I returned my 2 Note 7's to Best Buy, and when I went to get a "loaner" from 3 different ATT stores - 2 said that it was impossible, 1 told me to buy an iPhone. So, thats that.. but the problem is one of the Note 7's was part of a BOGO and they would't take it off of my account, so it is now costing me $45 a month(30 for phone 15 for access). The main Note 7 has been taken off so my monthly access fee for that line has went back up to $40 from $15. All in all I don't have a phone and I'm paying $70 more a month. If you return your phone,make sure everything is straightened out before you leave.
The stores will likely get stock soon, but they will not be able to sell them until cleared with CPSC which will take at least until the end of the month.

They're defying AT&T's official recall policy:
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1122948
I would suggest that you speak with an online AT&T chat rep. The ones I spoke to said AT&T would intervene on the customer's behalf if any retail store refused to abide by the official policy. (In my case, intervention was unnecessary because the AT&T store provided a loaner S7 Edge without needing to be persuaded.)

if he returned to best buy, he bought them from best buy. in order to get the loaners he would have had to purchase through ATT and done the exchange/loan through ATT as well, and get the loaners at the same time as he returned.

Nope. I purchased my AT&T Note 7 from Best Buy as well. AT&T did instruct me to return it to Best Buy, which I did. But then AT&T said to go over to a nearby AT&T store to get the interim S7 Edge. So I did that too, and it went very smoothly.

Did you do another upgrade, pay taxes, and initiate a new next plan for the S7 edge or was it actually loaned to you until the Note 7's are in stock?

I spent an hour with a CSR at ATT and they told me no matter where the phone was purchased ATT locations are supposed to give a loaner device. I'm still not sure what loaner means.. Buy a new phone with option to return later or just get a phone added to the account for a while with the intention of returning it, for free.
