Note 7 Exchange - Nobody knows how to do it

Iamaza
4: Newbie

Hi there, 

 

After getting my phone on the presale from Vodafone I am now going through the excruciating process of trying to get a replacement or the new Note 7. I have contacted Vodafone over chat service, phone and gone to the store. Nobody had a clue as how to handle the request, the store didn't seem to know that vodafone customers even had the phone to do a recall. 

Talking to the chat service I was transferred 3 times, not one of the guys I spoke with had a straight answer on the procedure. They said I should go to the store and it would be done right there as soon as I got to the store... Went to the store (Camden High Street), they were befuddled by the fact that I had a note 7 and that there was a recall happening... They made me call 191 in front of them. After talking to 4 different attendants, I was given a samsung number... The person said that I should call samsung and they would solve it... I call samsung and they say that vodafone is responsible and should offer me a replacement or a phone to use in the meantime... The blame shifting is not a good thing, as the phone now only charges up to 60% (pushed update today) and there's a small chance it might blow up. I don't have another device to use. Someone needs to bring some knowledge as patience is wearing thin...

Well still no closer, I've let BBC watchdog know and tweeted Samsung direct about this situation and they got back to me straight away. It seems @vodafoneukhelp on twiiter are ignoring all note 7 related tweets.

Called again today... Still not close to a solution... Now the warehouse (?) is handling it and I will be contacted when the phone is in stock... It is beyond ridiculous that I am not given a timeline on this or any practical information...
