AT&T’s now letting Galaxy Note 7 owners swap their replacement unit for a new device

Following in Sprint's footsteps, AT&T has today announced that it will allow Galaxy Note 7 owners to swap their replacement for any other smartphone in its range if they have any concerns over the safety of the device.

“If a customer would like to exchange a replacement Note 7 for a different device we will do,” said an AT&T representative in a statement sent to popular online blog Android Central.

AT&T's decision comes less than 24 hours after Sprint announced that it would offer the same program to its customers. We expect to see US Cellular introduce a scheme of its own over the course of the weekend, too.

It's believed that the carriers are allowing customers to return their devices as a result of an incident that occurred on Southwest Airlines aircraft on Wednesday, which resulted in the plane being evacuated when a replacement Note 7 caught fire.
