Right Time for to Upgrade your Samsung phone?
Despite
there is no an official list for the Samsung`s phones to be banned by the USA California
court, CNET has made one (below) according to each Apple`s patent.
We think
maybe is the right time for you to take advantage of the Samsung upgrade
program. For example the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note are not affected at all.
How this program works? :
Upgrade to a new Samsung smartphone and get up to $300 for your old phone.
Upgrading is simple. You'll get a quote, purchase a
new Samsung smartphone, and mail in your old phone within 30 days. Then you'll
get a check mailed to you for your refund. If you've already purchased a new
Samsung smartphone, have the proof of purchase handy.
