I Recently Bought A Samsung Galaxy S7 Phone & There Are A Number Of Agreements One Has To Click On..

in order to get the full capability of the phone. I'm leary of agreeing to these because I'm not exactly sure what I'm agreeing to and how signing up will affect my privacy. Along with this I have AT&T service and DirectTV agreements to sign as well on this phone.

For those of you that either have an S7 or have gone through this experience - can you give me some advice or pointers as to what I should do before I commit to any of these agreements.

I would really appreciate some help here.

Both Mrs. 1SBM and I have S7s and did not have to click on anything ... but then, we've been with Verizon since for ever and have been with Samsung devices, since we left Blackberry.

But...if you use a cell phone, assume you have zero privacy. Especially once you start clicking 'yes' to things.
