Samsung Galaxy S21

I don't agree with the bold statement.
I did a Vodacom upgrade

Very strange, how long did it take Samsung to send you that email? Haven't received anything and have registered the phone more than a week ago. Don't think anyone at MTN really knows, because according to them you don't get the R1000 voucher at all. Will have to email Samsung support and find out.

I got my phone last week Wednesday and got the email this morning. So it took a week.
 
I've emailed support regarding the voucher, buds and smart Tag... I'm probably being impatient but I'm also ready to return the phone for a refund if I don't get them.

They said they will ship the Buds and Tag within 7 to 14 days. When did you claim?
 
Last week Tuesday already, some people have already received their stuff!

I haven't got any sms or email asking for colours or anything.

I literally bought the phone cash because with selling the buds it becomes cheaper than taking a fixed term contract, plus the freedom of getting a new phone whenever I want and not having to take a new number and have another sim alongside my data contract. The Samsung Store voucher must also hurry up, I don't want to spend another R1k on a cover when I can buy an original one from them with the said voucher, or get a charging brick.

If the buds don't come its no longer worth my while, I would rather buy a sealed phone off Carbonite or similar for less...
 
, some people have already received their stuff!

Serious, I have been wondering when people would start getting.

*Oh Nevermind, see on Samsung members that people have started receiving it, hate FOMO :)

Spoke to Lady on Samsung Chat, my claim was only approved on the 30/01/2021, even though I got confirmation on the 27th. So its 14 days from the claim approval apparently.

Found this at Chatz. They had others but wanting to get a silicone one this one has to be the cheapest I can find

Is that hard plastic or silicone, it looks like hard plastic and is slippery af especially when held with wet hands.

Unfortunately hard plastic (well, similar to the clear covers in the box by default with the later S models and Notes). This is for me just the interim cover while I wait for the nice silicone ones to arrive at Samsung
 
The R1000 voucher is for those who bought the phone via Samsung themselves, and then other places like Incredible Connection have their own voucher as well. Confirmed this with MTN as well as Samsung.

I got my S21+ via MTN, and the only thing I'm getting for free is the Buds and Tag (claimed a week ago).

I also took the R499 Care+, it takes a while to get the confirmation email and documentation, took about a week for them to email it. But if in doubt just enter your IMEI number here and it will tell you if you are covered or not - https://www.samsungcareplus.com/za#!/auth?type=orderStatus
Thank for this,

I tried and it says invalid IMEI, so It may be that the registration is still pending
 
Samsung sent me a SMS to my phone number, with the R1000 Voucher code! so that is done! still waiting on couriers to give me a call to discuss when to deliver the buds/tags...
 
Is this correct? The Samsung pre-order page says the S21 and the S21+ in the 256gb variant has 12GB of RAM?

How did you get the Samsung Chat?

I dropped them a mail over the weekend and haven't had a reply since.
