Samsung Canada cuts off Galaxy Note 7 connections to carrier networks beginning December 15
The handset maker states that it is pleased with the return and exchange rate of Galaxy Note 7 units from customers in Canada, securing about 90% of the devices that were initially sold in the country.
Samsung Canada announced that functional limitations, including a limitation on the battery charge, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disablement will be implemented starting December 12.
Moreover, beginning December 15 customers still using the (in)famous Galaxy Note 7 will no longer be able to connect to any Canadian carrier mobile network services in order to make calls, use data or sent messages.
As a recalled product, Note 7 device owners are legally prohibited from selling or even giving away the recalled device. We would like to remind customers that they need to return their Note 7 device.
Hopefully, those 10% Galaxy Note 7 customers who think it's a good idea to keep their phones will change their minds and return them sooner rather than later.
