Samsung Canada to cut off network access to Note7 after December 15

Samsung Canada previously announced that around 90 percent of 39,000 Note7 units sold in the country have already been returned. And to those still holding on to their units, the time you’ll be able to use your devices are almost over. Samsung plans to cut network access to unreturned Note7 devices by December 15. These remaining 4,000 units will lose access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth by December 12 and then cellular capability by December 15. There will also be an update that will limit battery charge on the device. It isn’t clear though up to what percentage that will be. The one thing that will work after the update is the ability for the phone to call 911 for safety reasons.

The South Korean company is still imploring those who still have their units to return them. Samsung even wants to remind these users that they are legally prohibited from selling or giving away the device since it’s a recalled product.
