T-Mobile released an update this week to prevent Note 7 users from charging devices, rendering them useless. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will roll out similar updates the first week of January. The move will force those who have not yet traded in the faulty device to get an alternative.

Samsung announced the U.S.-based battery-killing program this month.
