Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile All Allowing Note 7 Exchanges Dylan Duarte October 7, 2016 News If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. All four major U.S. carriers – Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile – are now letting Samsung Galaxy Note 7 owners bring their phones in to exchange for another device. This follows Samsung’s massive recall over an exploding battery issue. Earlier this week, a replacement Note 7 caught fire on a plane. That’s a replacement device, the one that’s supposed to be fixed. Sprint was the first to allow it, then AT&T followed suit, and then Verizon and T-Mobile. When Samsung first offered their own exchange program, it didn’t gain much traction, presumably because consumers didn’t want to go through the hassle of shipping their phones in. Walking into a store and walking out with a new, working phone is a much easier option. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is currently investigating the fire that happened on the plane, but again, this was a replacement phone. If the Galaxy Note 7 isn’t already dead in the water, maybe it should be. Samsung is a good company that makes good products, they need to cut their losses and move on. Soon enough they’ll release something new and fantastic and everyone will forget about the time they sold everyone exploding phones. There are still those exploding washing machines, though.
