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.

Got another update today again, some hotfix for voicemail and fota failures. I have search the internet and saw that the galaxy note 3 is capable of hd voice. This would be a let down if I cant get this to work the main purpose i got the gear s2 3g i want the numbersync features

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

Have a good day
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.

This fixed my problem! Thank you so much
I got a free gear s2 from ATT with my Note 7. The first one overheated and was dead within 2 hours from trying to get a numbersync code. They sent me a second one, no overheating, but it still will not receive a sync code. It also says calls not forwarding periodically when I walk away from bluetooth area. I have a 3rd one coming but what in the world is stopping it from getting a sync code? ATT chat said its an issue with the gear and not on their end. Any suggestions?

I had same issues with about a 2 week old S2. It started to over heating while charging to the point it shut off as it was too hot. Then after it cooled down the number would not sync. I called Samsung - had to send it back to them - say they do not replace them as it's cheaper to repair them. That was 30+ days ago and still waiting for some kind of back ordered part. ATT has been super about it as they keep giving me credit on my account to pay for the usage I'm being billed for. Samsung makes great stuff but their customer support needs fixing!
I had the same problem with my s6 edge. I had to soft reset watch. When u did this, the phone chimed up and updated gear app. Has stayed synced since. Messages are still finniky though.

I have T-Mobile variant of Gear s2 watch and a notification appeared on the screen about an hour ago. It was not an email or sms, but some kind of notification.
I received the Verizon Samsung Pay update as well and set it up without event. I still have not received the latest Samsung update, though, including sleep tracking, etc. Has anyone received this update?
I returned my Tmobile Note 7 yesterday for the 7 Edge :crying:
when I set it up last night, was prompted for a Gear update and now have the Samsung Pay Beta on my S2 Classic, tried it out this morning and it worked great (NFC only)
Tried to add my card on my Att gear s2 3g. Says. Temporary Unavailable. ?!?!
I got the Samsung Pay update on my AT&T Gear S2, and I was able to add my Wells Fargo debit card.
I just used it at the supermarket a few minutes ago. Worked perfectly!
Way to go Samsung!
Anyone got the same message as me?

Hmmmm. Dammit. Maybe a factory reset to wake it up
Factory reset worked... Odd
Just added my chase debit and credit cards. Worked fine in walgreens. I always used my phone now I can use phone and gear s2. Love Samsung!
And it works untethered!
Took it to the store and disconnected BT connection. Still worked great.
Screen Lock?!!
The watch's Screen Lock is REQUIRED. That means in order to have Samsung Pay on your Gear S2 you have to unlock the screen every time you want to do anything more than check the time. Ridiculous.
I don't think thats how the lock pin works. Only if you take the watch off your wrist do you need to enter the pin again.
I agree with malimal..only after I take off watch like to charge in cradle and put back on is when it asks for pin. After that it functions as always showing notifications. I actually like this feature.
Set it up, tried at Walgreens... No go... Though I see it worked for someone else there.

You only need to put in the security pin once after you put the watch back on. It's good it does that so others cant use your watch to make payments.

You are correct! I spoke too soon and probably had the watch in my hand while I tested it.
My opinion has gone from "ridiculous" to "brilliant"!
For those of you have SP working on the 3G version: do you have active data plans for your watches on the original carrier? I have installed SP on both my AT&T S2 3G & Note 4, have active wifi and bluetooth connections, but always get a "Failure to connect to server" error when I try to have SP transmit my credit card data to add the card to SP.
I no longer have a data plan for the watch & use Cricketwireless for my carrier.
This has been happening for 7 days now, and I've factory reset both the phone and watch over that time to no avail.
Fortunately, Samsung's customer support in the US for Samsung Pay is now working on my issue (1-844-726-7297).
I still have active data on mine. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

Just venting an annoyance of mine with this watch. I can't stand to have Samsung pay you need the pin on. I wish there was a way to just have the pin be required when opening Samsung pay and nothing else. I take the watch on and off all day and do not want to type a pin in everytime. Plus, if I had had the pin on when I lost my watch, I would have never gotten it back because there is no way for someone to access your contact info then. Anyone know if there would be a way to convince Samsung to do this in a software update?
Settings, security, screen lock, usage, payments, TA-DA. Enjoy.

It is seemingly requires a watch firmware update that may not get installed automatically, without user input.
I have only had my S3 for several days. Yesterday I was in the Gear S3 app on my phone and stumbled on a software update that had not been installed. Settings > about Gear > Update Gear software > Download Updates manually.
I followed through the process which resulted in Software version R760XXU2BQC5 getting installed to the watch.
Now the Settings, security, screen lock, usage, payments option is there. So all good for me now.
It seems Samsung has some firmware fragmentation even in the Gear S3 hardware like they have always had in their Android phone and tablet hardware. Why does that not surprise me. Hopefully everyone will get the update that provides this feature eventually.

When I had the Frontier T-Mobile variant, I did not have the above options in settings mentioned above. I loved Samsung Pay on the watch but entering the pin was a pain, plus it made it difficult for customers to demo mine.
Once the Classic came to T-Mobile I jumped to that variant and I no longer have this issue as the settings above exist on my watch.
Updates are inconsistent with the T-Mobile variants unfortunately which is a big reason I continuously jump to the next.

So your T-Mobile LTE Classic has the newest firmware with pin only on pay? When did you buy it? Hopefully the new firmware is coming soon to the Frontier.

I have BT Classic S3 with T-Mobile but the PIN pay option is grayed out. It's there but I can't select it. My software version is R770XXU2BQC5. What version do you have?
Has anyone managed this? When I go through the tutorial I get to the credentials and there is no option for OTHER. I have followed 3 tutorials word for word and my options are not the same. With the inclusion of bixby on my S3 now, it makes me want it even more. I can't even get bixby to open spotify properly. Any ideas what to do here? I got the file generated but the Listen button just stays grey.
I never got it to work. I'm on the Verizon version, so I'm not sure if that's got anything to do with it.

That sucks. I was just wondering if it was settings I picked in the developer platform thing or what.
Works fine on Bell here in Canada.

I got it working on my Gear S3. For those with no "other" option. Select TV as the option and it works fine. I don't know about the Carrier things as I ave bought mine from Samsung here in South Africa.
