I went to download Samsung Smart Switch and noticed they are offering a free Samsung USB host cable.

Just go to the Samsung Smart Switch website and select Android or iPhone as your device, then under that will be a link to order a free USB cable.

It does ask for your IMEI number so I'm guessing it's for Samsung device owners only.

Sorry if this has been posted already!

        It actually was express post australia 500g satchel, think they must have ran out them when I ordered and easter (my parcel post is a bit slow also, sometimes takes a few attempts to get here).

        The way I found out was cause KIES redirected me. It came in a box with something along the lines of made for Samsung laser printers after 2008 and packaging inside referring to UK.

      Small text which states this after selecting iPhone or iPad, under no. 3:
      To request a free USB cable from Samsung, click here to order online or call us on 1300 362 603, 24 hours a day, 7 days a wee

    • lolcoaster on 06/04/2016 - 21:17

      Under line 3. There's a link.

    • WazzaP on 06/04/2016 - 21:17

      Once you select the device you're switching from there will be a new link saying "To request a free USB cable from Samsung, click here to order online" - as it's a javascript link you can't link directly to the cable order form.

    Thanks OP, that is cool.

    Not so easy to find IMEI on Samsung.

    Settings > GENERAL > About Device then tap on STATUS

    Or dial *#06# to see your device IMEI (ignore / and 2 digits)

    • JimmyF on 06/04/2016 - 21:39

      Does tell you on the form how to get your IMEI…. Go to phone menu: Settings > About Device > Status

          @llama:

          I see your settings are in tab view not list which is the default. You will see if you click on the 3 vertical dots on the top left of the settings page the view as setting. So your right on how to change it but wrong to say level380 was wrong as it is right as well.

      • OzBragain on 07/04/2016 - 03:02

        Settings > About Device > Status

        Works fine on an S5

        …and stop whining about negs. You've been around long enough to know that if you make a stupid comment here people will let you know.

      This feels like the plot to an episode of South Park, where after giving them my IMEI number and ignoring the terms and conditions they now own my phone. Or can at least access all my info.

      • alucards454 on 07/04/2016 - 06:51

        That is absurd. They have always been able to access all of your info.

    • Roja on 07/04/2016 - 19:00

      So what happens to the next owner of the S7 who wants to claim the cable?

      • nismo on 07/04/2016 - 21:30

        Or the 500 other OZbargainers who used the same IMEI?

  • ravenit on 06/04/2016 - 21:56

    I used a s2 seemed to work ok but wouldn't let me put in the full imei number but still worked. Hope they have enough cables

    • michael_123 on 06/04/2016 - 23:02

      If it didn't fit, you are not looking at the IMEI number (or trying to include the numbers after the / which is actually the IMEISV). IMEI's are always 15 digits long. I doubt they'll even check for this though.

  • g12345567 on 06/04/2016 - 21:57

    Is this for all Samsung or only Australian purchased devices?
    Also what are people putting in for Retailer where Samsung was purchased? Mine was purchased online overseas by someone else as a gift so not sure of the retailer.

    • illumination on 06/04/2016 - 22:04

      I typed the IMEI of my Xiaomi and I typed in Kogan as retailer. It accepted it.

      I don't even think Kogan sell Xiaomis….

      • g12345567 on 06/04/2016 - 22:37

        Thanks. Ended up using there old Telstra Samsung flip to register. Since there new Samsung S2 tablet isn't a phone. Not worried if I don't get this.

    • puffinfresh on 06/04/2016 - 23:48

      Handing it over to Samsung… who manufactured your device… and therefore already have your IMEI?

      • rayski57 on 07/04/2016 - 07:34

        Yes, they may have the IMEI, but they probably don't know who it belongs to (unless you previously told them).

        • Roja on 07/04/2016 - 19:02

          How else are they supposed to ship the cable to you then?

  • Lucky13 on 07/04/2016 - 00:15
