Hey everyone!!
Once again its the time of the year that Samsung announces their new Note line up. I am happy to announce that Samsung this afternoon announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 7!. The device seem to have amazing specs! Including memory SD card slot, water resistant and most of all, curved screens on both side for the Note Series and Iris scanner!
1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Product & Services – Wireless & you will see a Red wording saying “Device Reservation" on the main page. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want; Samsung Note 7 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 .
- 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. 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.
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.
For frequently asked questions about the Rogers Reservation System, please click here Rogers Reservation FAQ
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:)

I certainly see it both ways, Rogers as our Carrier and who we bought the Note 7's from should have 100% sent out communication to us that there could be an issue with the Note 7 and that more information would come. Wether by txt or email this should have happened right away, that is a no brainer even if they didn't have all the pieces just to let us know.
Rogers did offer for anyone that wanted to bring the Note 7 back and exchange for a different device or return that they could do so before anything official from Samsung so that was good.
The mis-information from Rogers HQ to the Dealers or Samsung->Rogers HQ->Dealers has not been good and I certainly think they are both at fault (Rogers and Samsung).
Has it been made clear now, if someone goes to the Rogers Store to exchange their Note 7 for a replacement Note 7 would they direct people to the Samsung Website that's been posted to exchange the phone directly or are they still saying it's a battery replacement?

I think on Android Forums someone was saying they rather deal with Rogers for the exchange rather than Samsung because Rogers had the Note 7's first and those who ordered direct from Samsung were delayed. I assumed that for all carriers if you are just looking to get a replacement everyone would go direct to Samsung....I dunno though.

Hello @ProPatria
Agreed but how do think it could be handled? Rogers does send out emails to the store managers. Now it's the store managers which fail to communicate to the reps about this or even follow through.. That's what is happening it. Rogers head office does what it does and all depends on the store managers to relay the message out.
From the beginning of the recall incident till today, I did not receive a single phone call/message/email regarding the issue from Rogers. Everything has to be find out by ourselves. The comments from my personal experience to Rogers is they care zero about our safety but only cares about where to get more of our money.

There is for sure a way for them to send out something to JUST the people who got the Note 7's. If they can target those who bought the Note 7 but didn't buy Device Protection they can target those who bought the Note 7's.

Or return and pre-order iPhone 7 Plus....watching the launch....I've never really been excited about iPhone and never owned one but it looks pretty sweet.

I'm in the same boat... Looking at a switch back. I get lag when writing on the Note and also, it often send my texts twice which is annoying to know...
