Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ Reservation numbers / Questions

Hey everyone!!Smiley Happy

Once again its the time of the year that Samsung announces their new Galaxy S line up. I am happy to announce that Samsung this morning announced the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+!. The device has a breathe taking new design which includes 88% screen ration, S8 is 5'7 inch screen and the S8+ is 6'2 inch screen, Fingerprint sensor on the back and new Snapdragon processor. Also comes in different colors and includes more features!! 



1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Click on the account you want to access ( Some have multiple accounts ) - click on your number ( if you have multiple numbers) - scroll down and click on Device Reservation. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want and it wil,l show you a list which will include the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ in Black and what other colors they may release it on. You also need to pick the store you want it to go too. Just to make it clear, reservations are for current Rogers wireless customers which have contracts with them. Rogers will put up the Pre order list for people that want to pre order the phone which have no wireless accounts with Rogers. Also just too add below is the meaning of the statues . The reservation list is different statues and numbers for all models / colors and groups ( Business, Consumer and pre orders have different line ups and numbers.)

- If your status is "OPEN", your reservation has been made and we are awaiting product from our supplier. At this time you can change your pick-up location, contact email address or cancel your reservation.
- If your status is "CANCELLED", your reservation has been cancelled and your reservation fee will be credited back to your account.
- If your status is "IN PROGRESS", we have begun the shipment process and you will not be able to edit or cancel your reservation any longer. The next email you will get will be the one that confirms shipment to the store you chose.
- If your status is "SHIPPED", your device has left our warehouse and is on its way to the store you chose. Keep in mind that you can NOT reserve a device via calling them or going to the store. It can ONLY happen if the reservation system is down but they will to reserve it via online. Plus if you reserve it via phone, you will NOT see your status or know what number you are VS reserving it online. The store can help you log into ur account and let u do it but there is no pre order list in store.


2). Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.


3). Also remember you are going to have to put down a $40 fee to reserve the device. Once it ships out, the $40 fee will be reversed back into your account. IF you want to cancel your reservation, that $40 will also be credit back to you. So either way you will get that $40 back. Also remember you may NOT be the first to get the phone if you have a high number or a low one. The Reservation system is made to have a device reserved for you as the stores will be sold out. If your reservation status still says “ OPEN” after launch & a store has a device in stock, you can still go in the store & get it. Then come back home & cancel the reservation online. If the status is “ IN PROGRESS” & you get a device via a store that have one for u, you have to wait until it ships out & then tell the store that u picked u do not want it. Do reemember the reservation number is CANADA - WIDE. This means if lets say you are #45 in line for the black one, you are #45 for that GB , color & model Canada wide. Also keep in mine you have to be the account holder in order to pick up the device at the store. No one else can. You can try adding a family member as Level on the account but some stores will decline it.


4) .For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confusen about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.

Let's make this thread the only thread for the devices please and if you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll gladly be able to help Smiley Happy

 

 

EDIT - The phone is available in Midnight Black and Orchid Gray in Canada. Maple Gold, Tactic Silver and Coral Blue, along with Midnight Black and Orchid Gray colour variants will be available in the U.S. and other markets. 

 

So sadly we are only getting the Midnight Black and Orichrd Gray in Canada. Later on we will get the other colors hopefully. 

 

EDIT 2 - In Canada the S8 is set to start at $1,035 CAD with the S8+ costing $1,115. Carrier pricing is not avialable  at the moment. Soon it will be. 

 

EDIT 3 - April 21st is when the S8 / S8+ will be launched!

Hello @NostKyle

Call and ask to speak to the manager of that location. They should not be holding it until they want to call.

While I know this won't be appreciated by those waiting, I have to say after working with the S8+for the better part of the day, I'm not all that impressed, considering both the so called improvements and the steep price point. While I admit I'm a Note user, I did use the S7 Edge for a while and other than some novelties, I'm struggling to see the value. Just feels like a larger version of the S7 Edge and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's certainly not justifying the steep price difference. Man, I miss the Note 7!May just have to wait for the Note 8 later this year.

I should have done that man. Really.

He looked like he felt like a complete idiot so I kind of backed off. Hehe.

Just came from the store.... Bad news.... $100 a month for this phone and a new plan. That's with 2gb as well... 😞

I was given the option to pay more upfront and pay less per month though. I don't see this happening now to be honest. The rep told me to phone "Loyalty" and try to get the best "Premium Plus" price I can. He stressed that I get a Premium Plus Plan.

Anyone have any idea what number I'd phone if I did want to call "Loyalty"? I wont be able to do this if its more than $90 per month. Even that is stretching it.....

You guys think its even possible at this point?

@wpd1

That is absolutely appreciated actually. I was a fellow Note user before and don't know if an S will feel as nice... Heh.

Hello @wpd1

I kinda feel the same way BUT I dig the new design and the snap fast speeds I am getting when using it compared to my G4 lol.

I do miss the Note 7 but believe me the S8+ is the same as the Note 7. On a tare down the S8+ has the same battery, voltage and all of the Note 7..

" Frustratingly, even after the Note 7’s combustion issues, iFixit shows the battery is firmly adhered and points out that this needn’t be the case, referring to the Google Pixel and iPhone 7 as examples. The publication also notes that Samsung Galaxy S8+’s battery voltage, capacity and design tolerances are identical to the Note 7 — meaning the company must be certain the issue was a manufacturing quality assurance issue."

@Meowmix,

Yeah, same as Note 7 without the Note features. Really though, last year's tech and the note 8 will likely have the new innovative tech for the same price they want for the S8+ now. Don't get me wrong, it has nice esthetics but in the end, it doesn't feel that different from a S7E. My two cents anyway.

Anyone upgraded from an S7E to the S8P and have been playing with it for a While? What's your thoughts?

The premium tab plus plans are NOT worth it if you already have a good plan.. they will only make you pay more in the end

 

im paying 90-95 for unlimited across canada, all the extras, plus 16gb a month of data.. cant beat that. so to me, its more worth paying the extra up front (thats if you can of course too.. not always easy)

 

Not sure theres a direct number for loyalty department.. @Meowmix would know better.. but you can just call any department at rogers and ask to be transfered.. but make sure you say you need to be transfered directly to someone cause when i did it yesterday, i got disconnected 3 times in a row lol

Hello @enigma4321

Ahh yes that's true! I hate that too that's why i never let them open the phone unless I do it haha. The rep today just asked me if I'll activate a new sim and said no.. So he didn't bother opening the box lol

Hello @wpd1

Oh i agree. I do miss the Note 7 and I won't lie. If they would bring it back, I would go for it even with a smaller screen then the S8+

Hello @GOGU

Maybe they have not. Did you have it shipped to a store and got the shipping email? If so go to the UPS site and go under tracking to references. Input ur number and see if its been shipped out.

If u did not receive that email, then most likely u are on the second batch.
