Galaxy Note7 units still in use in Australia will be disconnected from the mobile networks on December 15

01 December 2016
The rather extreme move follows an identical one that already took place in neighboring New Zealand.

    Anonymous, 01 Dec 2016The Note 7 owners should change their IMEI.You think Samsung havent think of that. They are probably already a step ahead of you at preventing that from happening.

            now to the post, there're ways to go around the restriction (changing IMEI) so i'm guessing a few people will still hold onto their device XD

              I am so happy for Samsung.
              My Story....

              Last year I got a S6 Edge when I was in Africa and then the next day I came to India.

              Upon begining to use the device I realized the display is getting hairline scratches just by keeping it in a pocket without any keys or any sharp objects. Latter I checked on google and learnt itz a known issue with 20% S6 Edge device.

              I contacted Smsung Service Centre in India and they were not willing to help claiming that I have to contact Samsung Africa.

              That has upset me to the core. I am not going back to Afrixa so how can I contact them.

              I stuck a tamper glass and the flip case to prevent further damage. I hate tamper glass on my phone.

              After few weeks I realized battery drain issue. Till now I have to charge the phone 3 times a day.

              Samsung did not help me fix my US $760 phone and now they had a loss of billion $ for the Note7. Serves them just right.

              I am happy with my iphone 7 plus. S6 edge is just a secondary phone..

                Good job, ban those dangerous devices please.

                  If they have offered Note 8 or S8 in exchange then its a different story. Goving S7s, who needs them?

                    I guess famous n7 ads wont stop coming. Even people that don't know what android is know about them now.
