Did you upload your recept to Samsung Promos? I swapped out my N7 and it looks like they approved me for the VR. Not a bad deal, I got a Gear Fit 2 and now VR.

DId you go with the S7 or S7 Edge then back?

Because this is such a volatile situation, the replacement models are being released slowly in three separate batches to extinguish any further media firestorm.  The three replacement model numbers wi

Went and purchased the Note 7 last night. Sprint wouldn't sell the phone without it being activated. So I went to Best Buy and they got the sale. 

Guy at BB even said that they get a lot of people from the Sprint store because of one reason or another.

How did you get the VR then?

Filled out the form and selected other for phone type. I don't have it in hand yet but my status was changed to "Congratulations! Your submission has been approved and we are currently processing your gift for delivery."

I didn't get a receipt for my new phone. They just handed me the new phone and activated it within 20 minutes.

 

I submitted one and I'll see if they accept it, if not, that's fine.

My is also approved. My receipt from Sprint was an exchange slip. My prior one was from the online account info.

Took a Delta flight yesterday and they said to turn off and don't charge a Note 7

I just tried to redeem the promo with the VR headset with my newly purchased Note 7 and it said my phone is not eligible. Not sure how some people are getting it to go through. Any ideas?

Did you click on "Other Galaxy Phone" when it asked you which phone you have?

Yes. When I got to the page to enter the MEID and WiFi MAC address, it said my phone model did not qualify.

Maybe they got smart and did a verification check.

Just an FYI. If you are coming from another Samsung phone and had enhanced messaging enabled, disable it on your old phone before activating a Note 7. Apparently the Note 7 does not have that feature for some reason.

 

I was sending texts to my mom from my Note 7 and I wasn't receiving anything back. I turned on my old phone (Note 5) and 4 messages came through over WiFi. For those who may not know, enhanced messages go over the data channel, so that's why they came through over WiFi.

Ugh good thing I stayed with my 5, this is just getting worse and worse now for Samsung. The 7 is a flop.

      Quote from wsj; "The T-Mobile deal could be reached as soon as later this month, while discussions with Verizon on a separate transaction are expected to take longer or might not result in an agreement, the people said." "The rising value of wireless licenses is a driving force behind the deal. U.S. Cellular’s spectrum portfolio touches 30 states and covers about 51 million people, according to regulatory filings." https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/

      From WSJ which is paywalled but they're reporting that T-Mobile and Verizon are working on a joint deal to buy and split up U.S. Cellular. https://www.wsj.com/business/telecom/t-mobile-verizon-in-talks-to-carve-up-u-s-cellular-46d1e5e6?st=qwngrnh4s3bcr76 — — — — —  Summary from a user in the Reddit thread:

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By iansltx · Posted

      So, in summary, here are the options I tested: T-Mobile intl roaming - LTE on SoftBank, routes back to the US (~220ms to 4.2.2.4) IIJ physical SIM - LTE on NTT, local routing Airalo - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer SoftBank), routed through Singapore (SingTel) Ubigi - 5G on NTT, routed through Singapore (Transatel) US Mobile East Asia roaming - 5G on SoftBank, routed through Singapore (Club SIM) Saily - 5G on NTT, routed through Hong Kong (Truphone)...seems to be poorer routing my1010 - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer KDDI), routed through Taiwan (Chunghwa Telecom) I wouldn't buy up on the T-Mobile international roaming, but it's a solid fallback. If you have the US Mobile roaming eSIM that's a great option. Otherwise Ubigi, Airalo, or my1010 are all solid options, so get whatever's cheapest. I wouldn't bother trying to find a physical SIM from IIJ...the Japanese IP is nice but there's enough WiFi that you can get a Japanese IP enough for whatever you need, and eSIM flexibility is great (IIJ as eSIM but seems a bit more involved to get it to work).
