I have seen a few posts from people asking if it is OK to keep their Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Here is FAQ's pulled from different sites....
Samsung:
Q: Is it okay for me to continue using my Galaxy Note7?
A: No. Because your safety is important to us, if you are currently using a Galaxy Note7, please power down immediately and participate in our U.S. Note7 Refund and Exchange Program. If you bought your Galaxy Note7 from Samsung.com, visit samsung.com/us. If you have any questions, you should contact us at 1-844-365-6197 and we can help you.
Verizon Wireless:
Q: What if I don't want to exchange my Galaxy Note7?
A: We strongly encourage our customers to power down their Note7 device and process an upgrade by visiting https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/.
Orders placed through 10/19/2016 will receive free overnight shipping. After you process your order, you’ll receive a special recovery box to return your Note7.
It is not recommended to keep your Note 7. If you choose to, I would not be surprised if the following happened:
1. Billed the full retail price of the device (since the DPP was cancelled automatically)
2. Warranty Voided
3. Insurance removed
4. No support from Samsung/VZW
5. Cannot take internationally.
