• Q: Could someone who purchased the unlocked Note 8 from Best Buy was able to claim their free stuff (i.e., micro SD card with wireless charger or a 360 camera)? (10 answers)

  A: Both my wife and I purchase unlocked Note 8 phones from Best Buy. Activate your phone from your carrier of choice. To claim your free items you must download the shopsamsung app first. Create your account if you do not have one. Log into the app and select promotions. This will bring up a screen to fill out with all the information required. I attached my receipt where asked for. My wife did not. Both of us were confirmed with our promotions. Email confirmation was received. You can check your status at any time with the app and promotions. We were told 6 to 7 weeks. Hope this answers your question.

• Q: Does the phone come with a charger and headphones? (2 answers)

  A: All phones come with a charger...And yes it comes with a pair of corded Head phones. They are decent corded headphones too, They are AKG headphones. AKG was a parent company of Harmon Kardon (Samsung bought Harmon Kardon/JBL last year) so they are very good for free. I believe the value of them if you bought the headphones separate would be $99.99. I work for Verizon that's how I know what comes with the Note 8 so my answer is 100% accurate. I've seen what comes in the box.

• Q: Can Unlocked Note 8 be used on Verizon to call & simultaneously use data? I had an unlocked S8 but was only able to make a call but not go online or send a message. I'm able to now on Verizon Note 3. Is this still an issue or just a setting change? (4 answers)

  A: Most new phones only have one antenna module shared between CDMA & LTE radios, and since Verizon uses CDMA for calling, you probably won't be able to use LTE data while calling OUT OF THE BOX. If you enable "Advanced Calling" (which VZW brands as "HD Voice") in the phone's settings, calls will be routed over LTE (not impacting your data usage), and you'll be able to access data while on a phone call.
