Just fyi it's serious they shut me down 10 days early, I was able to get reconnected after 6 hours but just want you all to be aware they are not going by the dates and saying the federal government made them do it.

If they cut u early, call and call till u get your fix. Don't let them discourage u, it is reversible despite what they initially say.

They said it's 1000 ordered a day randomly from now till the 30th. Idk if they are trying to make me feel better or if Verizon actually has that many hold outs. But hold out...its not right. They are effectively reposessing our phones without giving proper notice. It turned from nice to super aggressive and they want to pretend like big brother is doing it...but no, it's them.

You can get a prepaid sim. They still seem to be working. Including the Verizon ones

I'd wait and make sure it still works after the 30/31 cut off date Verizon has given out.

Along those lines though what other carriers / services can we use the Verizon note 7 on?

Is there a way to spoof Verizon into thinking you have a different phone so they don't put us in hotline status?

Encouraging some are getting it reversed. My girlfriend called and elevated to supervisor and yelled at them but they said they could not reverse it. She wouldn't listen to me and just gave up and returned it next day. She should have tried again.

I am on my second call of the day with a second supervisor, and they still refuse and tell me I cannot escalate any higher. I explained that I know they are reversing some people and that I don't understand the inconsistency. They claim that it is not happening. UGH
