AT&T says it will not swap out the original Note7 for replacement devices.
“Based on recent reports, we’re no longer exchanging new Note7s at this time, pending further investigation of these reported incidents,” said the company in a statement provided to media. “We still encourage customers with a recalled Note7 to visit an AT&T location to exchange that device for another Samsung smartphone or other smartphone of their choice.”
All four major carriers have said customers may bring their Note7 — original or replacement — to stores for a refund or exchange. The Note7 has vanished from the web sites of AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile, but it is still available from Verizon.com.
Verizon hasn’t said if or when it might halt sales/exchanges. Anyone with a Note7 should power it down and bring it bak to the point of sale as soon as possible.
