I got a update on my att gear s 2 3g model and it enabled number sync for you AT&T users. It was easy to set up. I did have to disconnect Bluetooth to do it so if your having troubles try that
Good to hear that you have number sync working. Are you using a Samsung phone! I'm not sure it works with a non samsung phone.

Sounds like you are using a non samsung phone! I had the same issue. There is a call forwarding option in the gears s app that will work in stand alone mode.

All,
I wanted to share my experience with Number Sync. As many of you may know, att announced that number sync was to be released in 2016. I was excited to learn that it was available early and got the update on my gear s and note 5. Sadly, it seems that att wanting to get a product out for the holiday to compete with its fellow cell providers did a dismal job in testing. After 6 hours of trouble shooting with ATT level 1, Level 2, working with a technical manager, and not with the elite support team that know one speaks to without a mediator I can say it still doesn't work.
Here is what I know:
Gear Software and Phone
Both the Gear S2 and Gear manager recieved an update. The Gear S2 was updated to have a feature found under settings then connection that reads ATT Number Sync. This will give you a pin that is added to your phones profile. You really dont need the Gear Manager software for this to work. Which is great for Apple and Non Samsung phones. The code is inserted to your phones profile on the website. The issue at this time is not with the Gear S2 but with the ATT back office and there seems to be many subsystems involved. Some will see that your phone doest support hd voice. Go to mobile networks in your phones settings area then choose mobile data if you have Enhanced 4GLTE services then your golden. If its not checked then check it. This needs to be enabled for the service to work. Now in your ATT website select your device details link that is found under your phone on your att dashboard. Then Choose Manage Number Sync. This is where everything is broken. Your phone will either say its not compatible which I have 3 S6 and 1 note 5 all are compatible and they are not there. Or you may have the wrong phone appearing when you selected a different phone.
So this is what I know. I hope this helps those of you get this to work. Its a big waste of time. The rushed out a product, and cant fix it.

According to my att contact, its supposed to work like google voice. Several numbers regardless of device. You device would work on in cell mode only. No need to have it connected via bluetooth. Your texts and voice will sync across all devices. This means you could have an iPhone and Gear S2

Hey guys and gals, quick question for you. I recently installed the latest gear update and have numbersync working fine however I've noticed when connected via bluetooth and receiving a call, my watch never rings anymore. Is this a new feature in the update, to take away the ability to answer incoming calls from the watch when connected via bluetooth?
Note 5 ATT Business Account
Seems to be working well. Today is the first day I will use it all day over the ATT mobile network to see how it does. I will confirm that my notifications did get a little screwy after I initially went onto ATT website and enabled numbersync. I ended up restarting the watch and going back onto ATT site and enabled number sync between my note 5 ando gear s2 watch. I think I may have needed to also check number sync on my watch as well afterwards.
Question for Mods, could we start an Gear S2 3G specific sub-forum? I think it may be a little confusing going through the non-3G topics to find specifics for the watch. Particularly when comparing issues such as battery life and connectivity issues.

Does the NumberSync now work with business accounts? I tried to set it up last week when it came out and it didn't work with my business account. Should I try again?

Yeah I think it's worth a shot. While there was a warning that it would not work with business accounts, I went ahead and went through the process and I can confirm it is working on my business account. It was a little quirky but I was able to get it to work by doing some of the things I mentioned above.
How did you get numbersync to work with your business account since you're supposed to go through your online account to sync it with your phone? Or are you only using your watch when you have your phone with you through the Bluetooth connection instead of through numbersync

I have a business account, and Numbersync is working fine. My Gear S2 is paired with an unlocked Samsung Galaxy A8 (SM-A800YZ) imported from Taiwan. If you go into the Connection settings, there should be a menu item for Numbersync and a submenu to generate a 5-digit Numbersync code. Using the myATT app on your phone or the myATT website on your browser, find the Samsung Gear S2 under your list of devices, and click on "View Details". There should be a link to "Manage Numbersync". From there, you should be able to enter the 5-digit Numbersync code.
If you don't have login access to the business account, i.e. it is managed by some central IT organization, the only way to enable Numbersync is to call your IT support help desk and give them the 5-digit code from your watch so they can sync it with your phone number. Of course, your company must also have a smartwatch plan activated on the account in order for Numbersync to work.

for me, it seems to automatically switch to "solo" mode once I am far enough away from the phone, so I get calls made to my phone on the watch, and calls made directly to the watch as well..
Can you pair the Verizon Gear S2 3G with another phone not on the Verizon network? I know you would buy the phone at Verizon and set it up initially on that account, but could you then pair with a non-Verizon phone. I use a Verizon phone personally and a US Cellular phone for work and would like to pair the watch with my US Cellular work phone.
it can only be paired to one phone at a time, and, I would guess that when paired to the US cellular phone, you wouldnt get things like call forwarding and anything cellular related to work
Is the Verizon version using number sharing? Are you sharing your phones # with the watch or are you getting a separate number for the watch?
The T-Mobile version obviously you get a second number for the watch. You can use separate carriers to mix and match your phone/watch setup. I have a work phone that is set up on Verizon. My family is on a T-Mobile plan. I added a $5 smart device to my family plan last year when I had the original Gear S. I have since upgraded my Gear S to the S2 4G model. All calls are forwarded from my Verizon phone to the T-Mobile Gear S2. It also works great as a standalone device when needed.

Thanks for the answer, so you can have a phone on one Carrier and have your Gear S2 on a different carrier. I have done this with my original Gear S and now my Gear S2. The Gear Manager software really just does a seamless forward of your calls and text to your other phone number which happens to be your watch. It doesn't care what network it just sends to a number.
would it be possible to buy this off amazon or something then use it as just a bluetooth/ wifi watch? Because i want the bigger battery and the GPS but don't want to take the calls on my watch.
Yes you can, that's what I do, but updates are still coming from Verizon, that means they come months after everyone else

I have a plan with T-Mobile but would an AT&T version of the Gear S2 3g on an AT&T plan work with my T-Mobile smartphone?
To further clarify, I would not be moving the AT&T Gear S2 to T-Mobile. Just forward the calls through the company or the app.
Your Phone and the Gear S2 do not have to be on the same network. My work phone is provided by Verizon. My family is on T-Mobile. I purchased the original Gear S and now upgraded to the Gear S2 on T-Mobile.
When you are BT connected to your phone the watch is like any other BT device. When you are using your Gear S2 in the standalone (no BT connection to phone) then your phone merely call forwards your calls and text to whatever number you tell it to. In this case you forward items to your Gear S2 number.
So it sounds like your phone is on T-Mobile. Your Gear S2 would be on AT&T. When you are BT connected to your phone, Verizon is your carrier and the phone does all the work and BT transfers your notifications and calls over to the Gear. When you are separated from your phone and a call or text comes to your phone it is forwarded to your T-Mobile number on the watch.
I have used my Verizon phone with my Gear s and now S2 for the past year + very successfully.
I think the only difference will be when carriers have their Number Sync functionality, where both watch and phone ring/vibrate simultaneously. With two different carriers the watch rings/vibrates after the phone does. I only have the Bluetooth version so obviously haven't tried this, but curious to know what the caller's experience is like - namely how many times does their call to you ring on their end. Reason I ask is cause many callers have gotten used to hanging up before they know your vm will pick up. Thinking if someone calls you and lets it ring 4 times and hangs up, you'd never know it from your watch, if you didn't also have your phone with you. Sorry for the digression, but I like to think these things through for real life situations.

Number sync will definitely change the way the watch and phone operate. AT&T is supposed to be the first carrier to go to number sync, but as I understand as of right now if you have a Gear S2 with them you have a separate number for your watch.
When I am BT connect to the watch, the watch rings/vibrates immediately with when a call comes in.
When I leave my phone on but I am away from it (BT Connection lost) the phone will ring 5 times before forwarding to the watch. this is where you may lose someone that only allows the phone to ring 3-4 times (that is what I do when I call people, after 4 rings I hang up unless I want to leave a voicemail).
When my phone is off (powered down) the call immediately goes to my watch on the first ring.
You can call the watch number directly at any time and it will ring if it is powered on.

This is where I hesitate. I don't get many calls often, mostly messages. If someone calls me, unless they are a spam call, they always have the intention of leaving me a message one way or another. However, I'd rather they not endure a long ring time to get to me if I AM available.
I was mostly curious about using this for calling out, because T-Mobile has some weak areas where I live but offers a better package for my needs but At&t's signal is stronger. I was hoping to bypass having semi-bad service.
I plan on going into At&t to see if they'll let me try out your theories. Worst case is I pay their restocking fee for a trial run. I'll let you know my results.
Good Luck, hope it works well for you. I think you will really enjoy the watch.
Yeah, my biggest concern is calls where people hang up after 3 or 4 rings. Having to wait for up to 10 rings is a problem. Thankfully most peoples text these days, and the ones who don't might just wait out 10 rings.

Bluetooth connecting will definitely work. You would need a device plan with AT&T to get the cell radio to work on the watch. You can talk to T-Mobile to see if they can accept the watch onto their service as getting a plan with AT&T for a watch only will probably be expensive.
I don't know how carriers are treating the new devices that are cell talk/data capable. You can use a device from one carrier on another carrier (GMS/CDMA sometimes is an issue). Will T-Mobile accept the AT&T Gear S-2 and program it for you (it has an e-sim). One of the benefits of e-sim is supposed to be that you can program a device for any carrier.
I have a work phone on Verizon that I pair with my Gear S2. My Gear is from T-Mobile (my family is on T-Mobile so I just added the Gear for $5 per month to the account). When I use the Gear in standalone it is on T-Mobile and my work phone just forwards my info to the watch.
Good Luck and let us know how it works out.

So I've been wanting a Gear S since before the first one came out (late '2014) to replace to replace a work phone. You mentioned that a when you watch is on stand-alone mode it acts as your t-mobile line. The question is, what happens if someone tries to contact you on your T-mobile line when it is BT connected to your Verizon phone? Does the watch forward the call (T-Mobile) to your handset (Verizon)?
I have the exact opposite scenario as you. I have a Verizon work phone that I use occasionally and hate carrying, and a personal T-Mobile phone. I want to switch my Verizon work number to the Gear S2 and and use my T-Mobile (personal) most of the time. Since it will be BT-connected most of the time, will I still be able to receive calls/texts from the Verizon number?
I have the S2 Classic SM-R735AZKAATT (for AT&T obviously) but I'd like to have it set up with T-Mobile.
Can I take this into T-Mobile and set up service? If so, anyone know how much?
eSim is a lie ....
The eSim was supposed to have carrier switching. Was just on the phone with Samsung and they just blow sunshine up my *____* about it all. There really is no carrier switching, and in fact appears to be harder to do with these devices than with a phone (at least you can root a phone).
- So the whole carrier switching appears to have been a marketing ploy (a lie) to excite people into buying the more expensive version, but then once you have it there really is no "switching" at all, and Samsung simply wont re-flash them to a generic S2/3g program no matter what. In fact Samsung wont help you at all, you cant even pay them to help once off warranty - if you don't have warranty, Samsung simply doesn't care, "to bad, you suck - haha" - (was pretty much what I got from them). Also note that "YOU" do not really own the watch. The carrier has a leash on the product even after unlock, even after warranty, even you own it outright and left the carrier, and Samsung will not help cut that leash or enable the full potential of the eSim capabilities in the watch "because carrier [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]". They got their money from the multi-Billion corporate, so don't expect em to give a rats ass about "US". So, physically the eSim can do it, but they have destroyed the watches potential capabilities by proprietary programming and no access to the watches hardware abilities, and unwilling to work with or help people who outright own the product. The carries own em like a B___, thus, you don't really own it - they do. - needless to say, it was a serious pi$$-0ff to find out the eSim thing was a total sham by Samsung.
If u use BT only can u still use message people and received notification? If your phone is samsung galazy edge sprint carrier would be work from samsung gear s2 at&t providet??? Thanks
I'm unable to get it setup on my Note4. I get the incredibly useful message "Backend error" from the AT&T site after I enter the sync code on their site.
Is this a temporary issue you think, or is it just the usual incompetence of an inept software developer who can't be bothered to give meaningful results to help narrow down the cause of an error?
Is it working for everyone else?
Yep, getting the same error message. Hope this is temporary!
I was having a similar issue. On my Gear S3 when trying to get the sync code, it kept giving an error message. Finally after 9:30 central time I was able to generate the code and get it synced. I think the system was overloaded with all the at&t pre-orders being delivered yesterday.
Anyone have AT&T S3 but linking to S7E 935F International phone? Keep trying to set up Numbersync but it connects to my wife's 935A. It won't see my phone. I am running Hydra Rom but the watch is connected with Bluetooth no problem.
For numbersync to be setup, you have to have a username for myatt for that exact phone. Then it will allow you to setup numbersync if that phone is HD voice capable.
I set it up on my Axon 7 without any problems.

According to AT&T International S7E (Exynos) is not compatible with LTE Frontier watch on AT&T due to no HD voice? Can use Bluetooth, but not the Numbersync. I'm pretty PO'd right now as that was why I bought it.
Anybody getting this to work yet?
I have not been able to get it to work. I am using an unlocked tmobile note 4. When I called I was told it was because it was not an at&t phone. What if I change the build prop to 910A from 910T? Would that be enough for it to work? Dont want to try and mess things up.

Hi I'm new to this forum. Like OP, I also have a Note 4 ATT LTE and had the same Numbersync error. Here is how I resolved my issue after extensive research:
1) Make sure to enable HD Voice on your phone if supported (for Note 4: Settings->More networks->Mobile networks->Mobile data->check Enhanced LTE Services (mine was unchecked)
2) Before even attempting to sync via Numbersync, make sure that your cell phone number is set as primary in My ATT account. I didn't have a primary number set, so I tried making the Gear S3's number primary (when I was prompted to add one) and it didn't work properly. So I learned it's essential your PHONE (the one you intend to connect with S3) is set as primary, NOT another phone/tablet/wearable line in your account.
3) After all the initial errors and hassles thereafter, I just reset the S3 after following my above instructions and the sync was seamless and I was up and running.
Hope this helps...it certainly worked for me!

YW glad it helped! :good:
I too have a note 4 and had no problems setting mine up with the Frontier today. So far I am loving it. It was the only one that my local store had gotten in stock. Now just trying to find out how to get the second hand to start working in the deduct face with the red second hand.

The red pointer is for the chronograph function. It does not move unless you tap it to start the chrono. Bad design in my opinion.
Soo no one here might have an iPhone they were able to get numbersync to work on with the leaked iOS app?
Has anyone got Numbersync to work on International S7E 935F?
I have number sync working with my Nexus 6P, spent about an hour in the AT&T store working with the salesperson that sold me my Frontier. He was under the belief that it was tied to IMEI numbers so he supposedly cloned my wife's IMEI number to my 6P which didn't work. I told him that I read that HD Voice/VoLTE had to be enabled and because I had a Nexus 6P that was the problem. So he called support and asked them to enable HD Voice on my line. While he was doing that I was googling, found this thread: https://forums.att.com/t5/Device-Features/Nexus-6P-No-HD-Voice-and-Wifi-Calling/td-p/4346076 and followed this guide:
Navigate to Settings > More > Cellular Networks and enable the toggle switch for "Enhanced" 4G LTE Mode. However, if the toggle is missing then follow the steps provided below:
Launch the Dialer app on your phone, and dial*#*#4636#*#*.
Choose Phone information.
Enable or select VoLTE Provisioned Flag.
Restart the phone.
Go to Settings " More " Cellular networks and toggle the switch for Enhanced 4G LTE Mode, and the HD Voice calling feature should now be activated on your device running Android 5.1 and above.

I enabled the VoLTE option, restarted my phone and sure enough when I went back into the MyATT webpage I was now offered the ability to enter in a sync code and it worked. He was never able to get support to enable HD Voice on their end. Going back into the setting it shows that VoLTE isn't active, I have no HD Voice option or feature in the Enhanced 4G LTE options at all but my number is indeed synced. I left my phone at home, walked the dogs and made 2 phone calls and the number did go over as my cell number.
Now the other thing he mentioned that should work is to use an approved AT&T phone that has HD Voice capabilities enabled. Then if I were to put my SIM in that phone, wait for the MyATT webpage to update showing that this other phone was tied to my number, then perform the number sync at this point it should also work, once it's enabled it won't go away according to the ATT rep. I didn't need to do that so I can't confirm but it sounds reasonable.
Supposedly their one number solution works with any carrier.

Not sure how it works with any carrier when the sign up asks specifically for your Tmobile phone number? Lol I did however read about the beta sign up page leaking people's accounts by a glitch in the system. https://www.xda-developers.com/t-mobile_digits_security/

I went to the site and started to opt in for the beta. It presented me a 10 digit number that was not one of my several T-Mobile lines. I went no further.
About 10 minutes later I went back to the site. They have changed the sign up process. You now just sign up (no data exchange) and they will get back to you if you are selected.
Hope it works as I have 2 smartwatches and a phone line on T-Mobile, plus I have a work phone on Verizon. This could make it easier for me to use one number and not have to worry about setting up call forwarding on multiple devices.

According to Engadget, the app will work with the big 4 carriers. They're not sure about specifics yet.
Hmm well that might be cool then!
Just signed up on mine. My Pixel XL and Gear S3 now use/share the same number
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I'm not certain that this is the cause, however, since activating Digits, my S3 doesn't seem to want to connect to the mobile device through the cellular network any more. I used to get all the notifications and now -- nothing. Anyone else experiencing this?
I can't seem to activate the "Remote connection" on the Gear App, so I'm not convinced that the problem is with Digits.
Any thoughts?

Quick update: Much as I hated to do it, a device reset on the S3 and a reinstall of the Gear app on the phone solved it. My guess is that the phone and the S3 device exchanged pertinent info from the esim card that changed when the phone number changed upon enrollment in Digits. Redoing the whole thing, I presume, forced this new information into the equation and solved it toute suite.
If anyone has any additional insight, I'm all ears, but I'm good to go now.

Good day folks I need to explain my question....I recently switched from a S4 to a S7 both on my Verizon service. Now here is the meat of my problem. On the S4 I could be on the phone talking to a client, then load an app called LogMeIn and do a remote session to their pc while talking to them. I was not connected to WiFi!
Now that I have switched to the S7 I got a message yesterday when trying to open the LMI program that Apps using mobile data are not available while the phone is in use!!! WTF.
I can't have that, I need to talk to my customer and run a remote at the same time.
Any Ideas? and Thank you for any and all suggestions.

Wi fi calling allows you to speak and access the internet at the same time. What set up do you have with your account? From what i understand you have to request it's activation on account / branded device? Interestingly enough the US networks enable it as default on unbranded firmware / devices.

Ok well enable it on the S7.
closing post
Well folks I din't know what to say. I went over to Verizon to get this change made and of course was met with some flak.
After a few minutes of arguing I conceded to contact Verizon Tech support but before I did I decided to try this again.
First test was I started a remote control to my pc and then attempted to make a phone call and I'll be damned it worked.
Second I made a phone call and then started a remote control and again it worked.
Was something just not setup yet on my account? I don't know but ultimately it is working as it did before and that's all that matters to me.
Once gain I want to thank those who responded.

Yeah, what a surprise, it seems they have to enable it their end on branded firmware. Of course they also know you can flash unbranded and have none of their crappy apps and get Volte by default.
