how do I find my IMEI and does it matter if there's no SIM in the Tab?
cheers for this

go to the phone app and dial *#06#
Shouldn't matter if theres a sim in or not

Nice find for those who have brought the device since 03/12/2010 or looking to buy.
I can't register my IMEI and think it's because I purchased my device prior to the 3rd.
Oh well got quite excited about that.

Mine worked fine, but I had to drop the /01 that was at the end of my IMEI from *#06#.
Had mine since early Nov.

it only says the offer is valid from that date, doesn't matter when you got the Tab

I've tried the my IMEI (16 digits) with some different combinations i.e with / and 01 at the end, but keep getting IMEI not recognised.
Any tips help would be appreciated.

yep, mine fails too? May drop samsung a mail to check my validity.
Those of you that have validated it, did you get it with a data plan/contract?
The IMEI is on the back of the TAB (v small digits at bottom), this number has lots of forward slashes in it - did you include those?
Thanks.

forgot to post the link http://www.samsung.com/uk/galaxytab/

easier if you use the phone combination to get the imei.
also i bought mine sim free unlocked and it worked fine

I have tried with slashes and without.
No luck either way.
Mine was puchased from Curry's sim free.

Registered ok (UK purchased a week ago). Got an email with some codes to redeem things. Not actually tried redeeming anything yet but seems like quite a generous gift from Samsung. Cheers!

Are the gameloft games chooseable? I ask as i had my galaxy tab replaced but still have the imei for it. If they're chooseable that's 15 games from gameloft games;-)

Thanks to the OP, i bought my Tab 2nd hand from Cex about 3 weeks ago and it all went through. CEX do make me laugh though, they sold it as Voda locked and it only had the voda boot screen came completely unlocked! Saved myself £75!
Use the stock browser for downloading games, Dolphin HD had none of it.

I get this

Class action lawsuit against Samsung

The Samsung Vibrant owner is setting up a class action lawsuit against T-Mobile & Samsung for Unfair and Deceptive Consumer Business Practices:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912480
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912476
I think we (GT owners) should join them because all the Samsung ad & online video promotions are showing off the phone calling capability as a GT selling points. We as the (US) buyers did not know the phone calling feature was removed until we actually purchased the GT & started using it....

What are you talking about? I knew you couldn't use it as a phone before I bought mine. Besides, it's the carriers who decided not to have voice enabled as far as I know.

I agree with the second poster... I knew before I purchased the phone. It was the first question I asked, and I was disappointed with the answer. But I knew...
I could see how ordering it from the T-Mo website might have left someone with the impression it had the ability to be used as a phone.
I dont see this class action going anywhere at all.

While I agree that that the tab was taken away the call feature but
1. I do know that before I purchase it
2. Is it really Samsung fault or the US providers? This is something you should complain with FTC as they approve the device to be sold like this in US. Who's gonna sue FTC? I guess EFF

I agree, i also think that we should join them not only because of the call feature but also because of the fact that the galaxy tab did not come pre-loaded with the apps that the promo video shows such as readers hub and social hub.

Same here on Bell. I went in to buy one and was talking to the sales girl and realized she inferred the phone was not turned on. I told her all the videos I had seen on it were just get a bluetooth and you are good to go. She even called Rogers for me to see if they had the phone turned on and same thing there. So I didn't buy it.

There's one floating around this site but it's just Seven software and it blows. You can hook it up to MSN Messenger and Google Talk, period. The only half decent thing about it is the mail client and that's only because you can connect to more than one Exchange server. Otherwise it's extremely basic and it talks to Exchange via it's OWA interface, not even activesync. Don't waste your time, it looks NOTHING like that artist's rendering of what Seven may have originally wanted to produce and is now passing as a "screen shot".

Yes, I got a £22 credit too. Seems an odd amount.

It does, but trying to buy games for the PS3 means I always have to add too or have some left e.g. 19.99!, so perhaps thats the reason for 22
@long2905 -> UK

I know you can get credit in UK but it doesn't work in Poland. There is no offers at all for polish folks which is very annoying that Sony treats some countries differently.
Sent from my SGP311 using XDA Premium HD app

either the promotion ended or Sony just want to f*** with me. It didn't show up anywhere for me to click on regardless of the countries I picked

It wasn't there for 1 week after I bought the device, then it appeared, so keep looking it seems to be very badly organised!

$50 credit fro Google play....?

I just got this tablet last week, and registered it through Samsung. But I don't see anywhere where I can get my credit through Google play. I have contacted both Samsung and Google about this, no replies yet. Anyone been successful in getting the credits yet? Any advice is appreciated.

Note that the Samsung store $50 credit expires in a couple months so don't forget to use it. I spent mine on $50 worth of obscure music I wanted and couldn't find for d/l elsewhere.

Almost immediately.

My codes were delivered almost instantly after I applied.

What if you return the tablet, do you keep the codes? The new lg g pad Google Edition is really tempting and I am thinking of returning the note 10.1

Mine showed up pretty much instantly. I want to say that after submitting i got a confirmation page.
The Samsung app store stinks but the music store is a bit better so I spent it there.

this happened to me. if you dont get it immediately it means something is wrong with the system. email samsung to complain and you will get your codes.

i needed to go through like 5 half hour chats with customer service to get my perks.

I purchased:
Dengue Fever - Dengue Fever (self titled CD)
Dengue Fever - Escape From Dragon House
Dropkick Murphys - Live on St Patrick's Day
Phil Anselmo / Warbeast - War of the Gargantuas
An All-Star Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd
An Industrial Rock Tribute to Judas Priest
All winners!
Note that I did have to search for a while to find them. I noticed that the Samsung Store search index is really messed up, and I had to try a couple of different techniques to even find this stuff. For most of these, I had to go to the artist page and look at all of the albums listed on their artist page. Searching for the album title, or going directly to a list of albums by the artists did not work (ie. these titles were not displayed at all).

If you didn't get your email with codes.
I didn't get my email at first. Later that day I found it in my GMail.
I used my Roadrunner email to register, and that's where I was expecting the reply.
However; the GMail account was the one identified with my Samsung account, so that's where they sent the email.

Registration question
I got 2 of these for family members, and have a question on how this credit is received. I'd like to attach one person to one tablet and another person to the other. It's my understanding that I'm eligible for 2 of these credits - one for each device... BUT, I'd then like to also attach a shared GMail account to each device and use the Google Play credit on the shared account.
Google says you can attach up to 3 devices to an account, and I know Android allows multiple accounts without an issue. What I don't know is how this Samsung credit sends you the $$. Do I need to register both with Samsung under the same GMail account? (Would Samsung even allow me to do so?) Or do they e-mail you the codes after the fact and let you take that code to another account?
I asked Samsung support, and they said it just wasn't possible - but that answer doesn't appear to coincide with their published Terms & Conditions, so I don't really believe it. I'm hoping someone that's been through the process can guide me to an answer I'd like to hear.

Registration for free Gear VR

Can someone else explain time how the registration works exactly? I filled out my forms and they were approved via email. It says 6 to 8 week shipping period, but I've been hearing some people say you have to add it too your cart and actually check out? And what about tracking numbers? Can anyone confirm?

I think that's mainly when you pay for the Immersive bundle which has more stuff.

So if I just got the free one I shouldn't have to do anything else but wait?

Best to call the 1-800-SAMSUNG # shown in the SAMSUNG PAY app. I just did mine this morning was as able to provide my IMEI #, and pay the $99 ($107.17 after tax / shipping charges) to get the full bundle ordered. Now the wait!!

I went to the website on my phone and put it in desktop mode and that solved the issue. My VR is just waiting to be shipped

Just wait. If it's accepted it'll come, eventually. My gift from the Note 7 took like 3 weeks or something.
Also - you'll prob use the VR twice and it'll collect dust lol

Ship time?

If you din't want the $99 bundle, then for sure call the 1-800-SAMSUNG # and explain to them what is going on and for them to correct what's needed so you can make sure you get your free VR headset at the very least. Sooner than later. With how fast these bundles sold, I'm afraid they won't have enough free headsets for those that pre-ordered.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy on 3/31. When I picked up the S8 on 4/21 the receipt from Best Buy showed the date as 4/21. I uploaded that receipt when I registered for the free gift. Anyone know if Samsung will know that the phone was pre-ordered and not simply bought on 4/21?
Has anyone submitted a receipt similar to my situation and had their registration for the free gift approved? Thank you!

You can likely print out your phone upgrade agreement from your carrier, that should show when your account was updated the day your pre order was placed. How that helps.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and got the same message from Samsung when I uploaded the receipt they gave me with the phone. Luckily I pre-ordered online so I went to bestbuy.com, logged into my account, and clicked "Order Status" at the top of the screen. Then I clicked the order number for the purchase of my S8 and that took me to a page showing the order details, including the date that I pre-ordered. I clicked the print button on that page and it printed a full receipt with the order date and pickup date. I just uploaded that receipt so hopefully that will take care of it.
For anyone who is interested, the Order Details screen URL was www-ssl.bestbuy.com/profile/orders/order-details?orderId=<your order ID>
