Re: Samsung Gear S2
Thank you for all your assistance, it was incredibly helpful. I already have the Galaxy Watch, Active 2 and Watch 4. I was allowed to add them all to my grandfathered watch plan. I just don’t have the same functionality as I would if I upgraded my phone and watch plan. Its ok. Now that I understand I can let it go. Thanks again.79Views0likes0CommentsRe: Samsung Gear S2
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me. The newer watches use a newer upgraded plan. They call them digits or magenta I can’t remember. These plans ring on the phone and the watch at the same time. The watch will ring even if you are out of range of your phone. These plans are not compatible with my old phone plan so I would have to upgrade to a $15 dollar plan for each watch and change my phone plan to a newer “Magenta” plan. I currently pay $20 dollars for four watches. The new plan would cost me $60 dollars for four watches. This is just too much. I know just use one watch…..I don’t wear the same watch every day. Thanks again for your help and info.73Views0likes0CommentsRe: Samsung Gear S2
Thank you for the information. My original Gear S2 that I purchased through T-Mobile when it was first released was able to act as a phone when I did not have my phone on me. I used this constantly when going to the gym or out to exercise or walk my dog. The Wearable software on my phone had an option to automatically forward to the watch when the phone was out of distance. I still have that watch and the software (app) still shows this option for the original S2. I unfortunately damaged the connection to the sim or antenna when I replaced the battery and that was the end of that. I have three newer watches and they are tied to my original S2 plan so I can’t have them ring when the phone isn’t with me like the newer wearable plans work. I would have to upgrade my phone plan and I am grandfathered to a fantastic plan so this isn’t an option. It’s frustrating, that’s why I was hopeful with this “NEW” S2 that I found. Thanks for listening to the rant. I guess I’ll have to return it.76Views0likes0CommentsRe: Samsung Gear S2
Thanks for the info. Would you have any idea why the watch took all of the information from the network for example the watch had no phone number assigned it said “unknown” and after it was activated it had the phone number in its settings. It lets me turn on mobile data and data roaming but when disconnected from bluetooth and my phone it says, “Emergency calls only” T-Mobile said they have it marked as activated but also “Network Incompatibility” Can the eSIM only work partially or can this be rectified? Thank you for any other information you could provide. I would like to get this working even if for a brief period of time. Otherwise, I must move fast to return it. Thanks again.77Views0likes0CommentsSamsung Gear S2
Does T-Mobile still support 2G 3G data and calling as a standalone device on the Gear S2 watch? I am activating a new one and it is activated but I am unable to make calls. “Emergency Calls only” I am also getting network incompatibility but it is a T-Mobile device. Is this NEW old watch dead?Solved515Views0likes9Comments
