14 DAY TRIAL // T-Mobile is inarguably one of the biggest mobile carriers in the US, and the company has recently announced that it will launch sales of the Galaxy Note 7 on Wednesday, October 5. More than one month passed since Samsung announced the voluntary global recall of its latest flagship, the Galaxy Note 7, and sales halted all over the world.
T-Mobile will be joining Verizon and Sprint, which have been selling safe Galaxy Note 7 smartphones for some time now. Specifically, Verizon and Sprint listed the Galaxy Note 7 on their websites on September 21 and launched orders for three color variants, black, silver and blue.
T-Mobile is now following suit and will give customers the opportunity to order their very own Note 7 smartphone. It seems that T-Mobile preferred to reserve most of its stock of safe Note 7 units for replacing those with faulty batteries that were sold before the recall was announced.
It truly was the responsible thing to do before restarting sales, considering that many people have patiently waited to exchange their phones and get a safe unit, since the initial ones did pose serious safety risks.
Galaxy Note 7 will be available on T-Mobile’s website and in physical stores
T-Mobile will make the Galaxy Note 7 available on its website, as well as in physical stores across the country. Safe units to be sold at T-Mobile will be carrying the green battery icon and the retail box will be marked with a black square.
The US carrier encourages customers to power off their faulty Note 7 units and return them for a replacement and a $25 bill credit. Users also have the option to get a full refund or pick another device.
Sales of the Galaxy Note 7 began on October 1 in South Korea, where 30,000 units were sold during just two days. SamMobile reported that the Galaxy Note 7 is also available in Dubai once again during the GITEX technology exhibition. Customers get a wireless charger and a 128GB microSD card for purchasing a Note 7 smartphone.
