Verizon Going To Extreme Measures To Stop Galaxy Note 7 Use

I guess Verizon really doesn’t want anyone using the infamous Galaxy Note 7 on their network. I say that because they told Fortune that they’re going to do the following to make sure the Galaxy Note 7 is gone forever:

  • Calls placed on remaining Galaxy Note 7 devices will only connect to Verizon’s customer service representatives. 911 calls are excluded.
  • Verizon may charge customers for the full cost of the device as they have already issued refunds.

This is on top of Verizon sending updated firmware that was meant to remote kill the device. Apparently customers have been dodging that. I honestly don’t get why people want to hang on to this phone. After all, it blows up and injures people. So just give it up if you have one. Seriously.
