Samsung Mobile USA Samsung Mobile Very Upset with Very Bad customer support, or more correctly Absence of Support… Plano Texas

 First, I was negatively surprised that Samsung doesn't have in-store service center for a phones repairs, but only mail service to Plano, TX… so in order to repair your phone, you have to wait at least 2 weeks for transportation (including 7 days of Repair) …

The Samsung AT&T Galaxy S3 phone which I own had technical issues with Ear-Speaker-Phone(after 6 month of usage), which suddenly stopped working (although the other phone functions were working correctly, including Speaker-Phone)… 

No-one has informed me that the package was received, the same after 4 days about the status of the repair… 

When I called support, I was informed that the liquid was on PBA components, and thus Samsung will not fulfill the warranty …

7/13/2013 5:18 PM-PBA Inspection: The unit has left the technician. SOLUTION: BER
*07/13/2013//18:18:30//0001773863//Telephone//ASC* Liquid damaged on PBA components

I think it’s ridiculous to state, that the device didn't have a touch with water, and was normally used.. The phone was sent to repair only due to a technical problem with Ear-Speaker… 

After asking to speak with Support supervisor I was put on hold while waiting for supervisor. After 1 hour! Of waiting, I hang up and dialed again. I was redirected to Technical Support supervisor.. on my luck, waiting for her took me 32 minutes. After full attention to my story, the lady repeated the same as the previous Support Representative read from the status of the repair - will not be fixed under warranty, because I have an economy plan, and fixing this problem is the same as provide to me a new phone… 

While asking to send me an evidence for the liquid, it was replied to me that Samsung doesn't provide any evidences to the customers.. it was stated to me, that if I would like to open a phone, to verify that the liquid is in the phone, I have to do it only in SAMSUNG official laboratory, and then I should contact SAMSUNG, if no liquid is found there … is this a JOKE.???

After this matter, I was reading on the internet that I am not alone with similar problems, and there are huge of people complaining that Samsung disregard to fulfill their products Warranty, while using different tricks... within 1 day, from a Samsung lover, I became a Samsung hater. There are many other alternatives to their products, while they provide much better service to their customers, even with lower price.

Thanks for reading this post… I hope someone learned from my mistake and will steer of buying any of Samsung products …
