For those who fall in this range and are experiencing the antenna problem can contact AT&T's Exchange by Mail program at 1-800-801-1101. Not all individuals with phones manufactured between the dates need to contact AT&T, only those who are experiencing the antenna problems.

I first started having issues about 4 months after I got the phone, now that I have had this one for a few months I am starting to have issues again... Guess who will be calling AT&T soon...]]>Nov 26th 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 27th 2007 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/
And we are all having this problem on the south side of Indianapolis. But it HAS to be our SIM cards, or our phones...it CAN'T be their service. Or at least that is what I am told time and time again for the past 5 days.

Can't make calls, can't get calls, can't use data.

Sounds like this recall is for a phone that perfectly supports their network. ]]>Nov 26th 2007 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 29th 2007 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/Nov 26th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/atandt-and-samsung-quietly-recalling-blackjacks/http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=samsung&message.id=44638#M44638

Text of post:
Thank you all for taking the time to post and I apologize for the inconveniences and frustrations this may have caused you all. As the OP has stated, an issue was identified with the Samsung BlackJack i607 manufactured during November 2006 through February 2007. There is no actual recall on the device, instead an advisory, in which the Warranty department is exchanging customer's devices experiencing these issues.



The issue deals with the internal antenna loosening due to the wearing down of internal components; which is what is causing the poor signal and drop calls. The date code can be found on the lower right hand corner of the label under the battery. The code will be in decimal format where the first two numbers are the year and the last two numbers are the month in which the device was manufactured. If your device was manufactured during that time frame and have been experiencing poor signal and dropped calls, please contact the Exchange by Mail department at 800-801-1101 and they will be able to assist you with processing your exchange order.

Send them to the new phone via bluetooth
or

Activesync to computer and then sync the computer with the new phone

or

Copy to SIM, SIM to phone

This should get you started with the right keywords for a gooogle search on detailed steps to do it, I would go with the the Sync process.

I have a blackjack, but I use t-mobile and have had no service problems at all. A friend (who worked for cingular at the time), gave it to me claiming it got poor reception.

The Samsung Sync was the worst, couldn't even complete a call to ATT CSR. Kept sending refurbished phones, finally they relented & sent new Razor. Phone is fine but network is still pitiful. I loved Cingular, had been with them > 5 years. Now I think of changing companies almost everyday except all friends & family on ATT so I would have to have monster minute plan. Thanks for heads up.
