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!

@Meowmix.
Just called Rogers. Will have to change my plan. Not too bad though. I can either drop down to 10gb for 90 or go to 16gb for 105. Think I'll drop, I never go over 5 - 6gb a month.

Hello @jackthecompguy

So i called my location again and double checked. They got the memo not to long ago today letting them know any pre orders and reservations being sent to the store on or before the 17th can be released on the 17th and after. So yes whoever device gets sent to the stores and have them on the 17th, we will get them! The memo said that there was a mix up on the system showing the 21st but it changed!

@Meowmix these plans here won't last long, we are losing mts. Bell bought them out. That was my leverage when I wanted to get new plans from Rogers.

I just got my s8+ case. It is slightly taller and slightly more narrow than my note 7 cases.

Everyone seems to have a much better plan then me but now that I can download Netflix and amazon video, I don't need as much. I pay $125 for 5gb minus 30% . Before getting this phone I was paying $65 for 5gb.

I loved the Note 7. Best phone by far, that I've ever owned. I got the s8+ because the size is similar "ish". But I am worried the note 8 will come out and I'll be in love and tied to a 2 yr contract. Anyone else going back and forth on the two?

I'm number 27 out of 135 for business - s8+ grey! I moved down by 1. I was 28!! Not looking good. Lol

Hey there @comcry

As long as the Galaxy S8 does note explode I think you will enjoy it more than the note. The size is amazing and it is already one of the best phones out there.

Hello @comcry

Well as i said before, the business and corporate customers do have a hard time getting them at launch. There have been only a small few that gotten the devices at launch but many and I mean many have waited for weeks.

Well the Note 8 will be released near the end of the year and it should have the fingerprint sensor built into the screen but other then that it feature a Spen. The main reason why many went with the Note series was bigger screen and some for the spen. Now that we got the bigger screen, i can't think of one reason to switch to the Note 8 unless they change the design and make it a bigger screen which i doubt.

CBC @ Pacific Mall in the GTA has UAG Plasma & Pathfinder cases in stock for the S8. S8+ cases will be in stock shortly. These are my favourite cases - I've pre-ordered a UAG Plasma Ice for the S8+ Orchid Grey.

 

So far I have: Spigen Slim Armor & Rugged Armor. Coming: Nillkin Frosted cases in Black and White.

@barbas I live in Manitoba and up until recently, we had mts. Mts had cheaper plans, so Rogers had to play along. Even with mts being bought by bell, the Rogers plans for the time being are still a bit cheaper than most places in the country except for sk and I think Quebec. They still have competition there.
