I did.. was eligible for full next april (2014), got the early upgrade $199.99 for phone plus $250.. they threw in a Beats PIll and phone case too. Im grandfathered into unlimited so i didnt care that i had to extend an extra year

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

It would have been nice if they had given it to you for just $200 and not another $250 on top.

I got an early upgrade was because my last phone lag and out of date software it was Samsung Galaxy Note 1 I upgraded to Galaxy S4....

I upgraded in December 14th, And Upgraded again Yesterday Took about 6 or 7 phone calls and them sending a few Note 2 replacements haha. But got it for $213 after TAx

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..

Want a free in VR in the UK with the S7?

So last night I ordered my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge directly from the Samsung UK website and nowhere did I see it mention the free VR that everyone else is getting.
I placed my order anyway and decided to give Samsung UK a call to find out why. It turns out that only carriers are offering the VR on contracts and not on SIM Free purchases direct from Samsung, despite what was said in the keynote. The support staff told me that they had lots of people calling to complain about this and have started an internal petition on behalf of their users, the more people that call the bigger the list.
If you want any chance of getting a VR like everyone else I would give them a call and complain. It's worth a shot.
The number for support is: 0330 726 7467

The Galaxy S7 Edge is actually even more expensive in the U.K. than the rest of the E.U. (thanks to some shady Euro > Pound conversion). 639.00 GBP = 818.902 EUR vs €799 in continental europe.
There is no white version in the UK for some reason either, as opposed to countries within the Eurozone.

I have just ordered two S7 Edges on Vodafone and ensured I got a headset with each phone. I'll sell one of them to make £50 back as the other phone is for the wife.
Pretty crappy of Samsung not to provide the headset when you buy direct. I wouldn't be at all happy about that.

Thanks very much for posting this. Just called them and added my name to their "internal poll".
As you said, the more that call, the more chance this will happen.
Other details I got from them were:
- The UK region is only scheduled to get Gold or Black for now
- The UK region is only scheduled to get a 32GB model
No polls for either of those, seems like quite a "set" thing.

EE still have nothing about the gear vr on their website? i
I ordered through chitter chatter and they are giving a 64 gb micro sd card instead.
Ill give that samsung number a ring and see . THanks

A Samsung employee posted on another thread that when pre ordering, sim free phones aren't eligible, only those on contracts.

See that really wouldn't bother me if they said that at the keynote. What they did say was "preorders in the US & special countries" then later stating Europe. As the UK is in Europe and I preordered at the right time I assumed I ticked all the boxes. Instead all we get is a lousy rugby pen.....I hate rugby haha so that's just salt in the wound.

I've noticed the Samsung website now says free VR for all pre-orders before March 10th. It didn't say this yesterday, so they must have updated it

thanks for replying i emailed samsung and have a email saying we will get a vr so i have evidence now if it doesnt go to plan im sure it will though

Just a follow up, I called support asking whether the VR would show on the order and was told "we're not sure whether we're adding the VR as a separate order or onto existing ones" this explains why they're not showing on preorders.

Samsung UK is selling the S7 for 569 GBP, though which is exactly the same as 699 EUR.
On the other hand, we don't have a white option for the regular S7 here in Bulgaria and I think none of the markets have it in white, actually.
The S7 Edge, however, should come in white as well.

only voda and car phone warehhouse are giving the gear vr free so the whole free on all pre orders was just a lame marketing ploy to boost initial sales. As to the g5 I have a g4 at the minute and only the 815 international version has an unlockable bootloader unlock via lg only and bye bye warranty since the g4 has a hardware bug that is causing bootloop in the first batch devices I don't put much faith in lg for a substitute.G4 had bad overheating and touch screen issues for about 5 months till lg patched it out.

Samsung have updated their site advising the VR is included in all orders on their website directly. Support have also confirmed this on twitter and email for me.
Sent from my Galaxy S6 Edge using Tapatalk

Yes I've just had an email from Samsung UK stating that all preorders from them automatically get the VR headset "while stock lasts"
Was a bit disappointed as I thought it was a shipping email ?

I got my S7 Edge (SIM free) and my Gear VR in two separate order numbers/delivery emails from CPW.

Any decent pre order deals in the UK?

Is the 2nd Recall Official?

So there have been announcement from Samsung related to stopping the production of the Note 7, but I have not seen anything official calling for a recall.
Has the CPSC launched an official recall?
Has Samsung said anything more than that we should stop using the device and return it if we can?
I am holding out for the official recall, as of right now Samsung is not even offering a bill credit for returning the device. The first go around they offered $25. I went to AT&T yesterday and they said they would take the device back, but there would not be another bill credit.
Just curious if there has been an official recall or process for receiving a refund for the device. I figured we could also use this thread as a place to track the options once the recall is made official.

Not official but att and as far as I know all other carriers take it back no questions asked.

They added original and replacement devices to the http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ so I would assume both returns will prompt a 25 credit by the carrier or third party gift card.

from what ATT told me.... that to get the 25 credit, i had to chose another samsung phone to replace my note 7 I had returned, and also I had to eat the 20.00 upgrade fee too, ATT would`t refund that, only the first Next payment I had paid.
From ATT website:
Customers with a recalled Galaxy Note7 may select a Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, or Galaxy S7 active or any other smartphone, and may also return any Note7 accessories. If a customer chooses another Samsung device, he or she will receive a bill credit of $25 per device within 1-2 bill cycles.

Depends on who you get to talk to at AT&T. I got the $20 access charge waived from att for my replacement. This time I'm returning it and using my wife's iPhone 6+ until I get the iPhone 7+ 256gb I ordered. I think it's time for an OS change. I have never used an iPhone before so this will be fun.

yeah I thought about change to Iphone 7+, I got one for my wife for wedding anniversary present, and I played with the zoom camera takes really nice pics, but she has had some issues with hers, and it might have to get a replacement, sometimes when try to wake it up with the home button, it sometimes it takes few tries to get it to wake up, and taking pics the camera will just close with out touching anything, and she has had it lock up few times and just sit there and is not responsive at all, shes not power user, so who know`s, and when it happens........ she said i should have just keep my iphone 6+:silly:

I'm going to miss you guys D:

I want to hold out but can't help but worry about when or where it will burst into flames…. It's stressful I tell ya.. Lol. I don't want an s7 edge had it the first recall and didn't like it only one that even close is the. LG V20 but doesn't come out till the 24th or so…… so I'm just at a loss on what to do.

Seeing as there isn't anything out that I feel compares to the Note7 I bought a used nexus6. Had one before and liked being able to root and rom it to make it the way I want. It will work till something else comes out.

yeah I`m think about getting OP3 again, I had one right before I bought the Note7 and really liked it so that`s probably were I`ll go back too. when ever OP get them back in stock.

I think im just going to keep using my N5. If rumors are true the S8 should be good (if it doesn't explode lol) and they are going to bump up the release date to Feb next year. Ill tell you this much though, its going to have to be amazing and Samsung better offer a deal to those of us that had to deal with this n7 fiasco.
If not this is the last Samsung ill use/buy

Gave mine up to Att today. Back on my OP3. I actually liked the note 7 too. Usually a nexus guy.

I actually haven't received a text from ATT about returning my note 7 like I did the first time.

Estimated Delivery Date: April 20th-April 21st

I live in San Francisco - will be at 9:01 PM wih S8 plus with Midnight Black .
- Will we get it sooner like S7 - S7 Edge last year with 1 week early deliveried ?? And I remember Note7 we got on release day , no one who pre-order N7 got early .

I want to preorder this.....but I may wait to see if the bootloader is unlocked or not first.

Hmm.. I wonder if I'd be able to add that $130 to my monthly installments under Jump On Demand like I did with my S7 Edge.

T-mobile rep here (speaking unofficially). The s8 and s8+ both require a down payment. The 30 for the s8 and the 130 for the s8+ is required to ensure the monthly payments dont exceed 30 per mo. From what we have access to in tech there is not a way to waive the deposit needed unfortunately. I am fairly sure this applies with all departments as well.

If you want $0 down , try Costco .
Costco will take tax only on EIP T Mobile phone , doesnt matter required down base on device or credit type .
My credit just begining and not so good , T Mobile store required 50% on all device from iOS to Android . I went to Costco , all my 4 lines and 4 device on my account just paid tax only .

Oh **** I didn't notice pre order start tonight!!! I wonder how TMobile will handle my JOD since I just Jumped to the G6!! They probably gonna give me hell since the G6 is not out yet and it has been more than 14days

Unlocked??
I called and asked to see what info I could get and was told that T-mobile will unlock the phone after it's paid in full and also must be on T-mobile service for 40 days.... Then I asked if it will be SIM or Bootloader unlocked ( I knew the Rep would be lost there and I was right) and got no real answer....
I wasn't expecting any miracles by asking a rep but wanted to give it a go anyway.... Hopefully people here can add more info as we go along...
Also thanks for starting this thread Charlie, I was here with ya when we were riding out the Note 7 last year...That was fun.... I expect these next few weeks to be more of the same...LOL!!!

Yeah I'm on the phone with them now. I have the G6 but will pre order tonight. None of the reps seem to understand that I have the phone now.

This $130 down is complete BS.
It totally destroys the idea of jumping from phone to phone.. who wants to pay $100+ each time they get a new phone + $30 a month.
Please call T-mobile and tell them you do not like this at all!!!

S8
Midnight Black
4/21
Hopefully we get them a day or two early like some did with the Pixel.
I probably should have waited for the note 8, but I miss my note 7 so bad I just couldn't wait. Currently running Pixel XL.

Got mine in too, I've been on a Moto G4 since I turned in my Note7. Got a Black Plus and even went ahead and ordered some case off amazon already. Almost went with the bestbuy deal but i've had issues with them in the past. I should have probably waited for the next Note but damn I miss having a good camera.

Ordered 2 S8s 1 black 1 grey and 2 S8S+ 1black and 1 grey. It's been 10 years since I've been a Verizon customer (coming from Sprint). It will be good to be back.

I ordered as well....does anyone know how to sign up for our free gifts? I went to samsungpromotions.com after I checked out but I can't figure out where to go.
NM you have to wait until you receive the phone.

I have ordered the s8 plus from Koodo in canada. Should arrive 04/17 according to them. ?

I know what you mean. I have the note 7 and then with everything that happened I was so over Samsung I jumped to Apple and picked up a 7+. That was a big mistake. I was going to wait for the note 8 but I just needed to get out of this phone.

Anyone on Verizon consider ordering the international variant? Or it still the case that it's missing bands that work with CDMA? This is when I start missing my gsm phones.
PS
Ordered s8 midnight black at 1205am EST, 4/21 expected delivery date.
PPS
Did anyone else get the warning that the s8 will not be eligible for an annual upgrade? Isn't that why we joined an early upgrade Plan?

Interesting fact: all the s8 devices on display in my local Verizon store are SM-G950U and SM-G955U. This leads me to believe that big red is selling software customized Unlocked models.

Well, generally carriers carry their own one off model number to identify the bloat that will go into the phone.

I did not. I ordered using my 2 year contract. All in $400.

Indeed, this is evident in the history of Samsung devices for Verizon (SM-N910V, SM-G900VZKV, SM-N915V, SM-G920V, etc) it is just interesting to see that it is a U vs. the usual V coding this time around. I'm hoping this will lead to easier root and bootloader access but only time will tell.

So if I order the phone directly from Samsung, someone please tell me it is not going to be branded.

I had my S7 Edge for a year and it is exactly half paid off. Verizon is taking back my S7, removing the balance of payments for the purchase of my S8.

Which is the same for me but I received the warning that the s8 will not be eligible for an annual upgrade. Chatted with customer support idiots yesterday and after some going back and forth I got them to state that my new phone will be eligible for upgrade after a year, chat log transcript saved.

OK I see what you are saying. Hopefully I will not have the desire or need to switch to something else for at least 2 years. But you never know. I would keep my Edge longer but I have an annoying issue of an over sensitive screen. It drives me crazy.

Yeah same problem with my edge with the screen. I usually upgrade every year lol, unfortunately I cannot help myself. I guess I've gotten better though since there was a time where I updated every 6 months... still need to update my sig lol
