New Zealand mobile networks disconnected Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Recently, various videos and messages kept popping over the internet stating how the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been randomly exploding. The phone explodes due to an issue in its battery and that caused Samsung to recall many of the phones released along with a big loss.
Nonetheless, it was the right thing to do from their part considering how consumer safety should be the number one priority.
Ever since the incident, Samsung has been trying its very hardest to discourage people to use the phone so they can return it back. However the issue is that many people are still interested in the phone and choose not to return in.
According to Consumerist, it's being announced by Samsung that they plan to take another measure to discourage the usage of the Galaxy Note 7. They said that they will make all Note 7 units unable to connect to mobile networks in New Zealand.
If a phone cannot connect to the network, then it will fail to do its primary task, serve as a phone. The Verge said that removing mobile network connectivity will take away quite a lot of the phone's functionality and could very well make the phone unattractive for many of its current users.
There are talks going on about that if this plan works properly, then Samsung may initiate it in larger areas with a larger population using the dangerous phone.
Right now, talks about the restrictions are only until stopping the Note 7s from conecting to the mobile networks in New Zealand. People will still be able to connect to networks out of New Zealand as well as be able to connect to the WiFi.
Some people are calling this an extreme measure. However Samsung is not to blame since they are offering their full support with the phone recalls. If people choose to keep dangerous phones, they have to take these measures to protect others and themselves.
