Call/Text Forwarding to Galaxy Watch (from Sprint)
I have the Galaxy watch, and I finally got it activated (T-mobile reps didn't tell me I'd need a T-Mobile phone) by borrowing a friends phone to activate the LTE and phone number. Now with tha...
Gotcha! With DIGITS, this currently is not an available but the feature has already been requested. The only other way to do call forwarding would be what you mentioned a few days ago.
Yup, you lucky duck!
The T-Mobile ONE Wearable plan DOES allow for incoming voice calls for a wearable device, if the watch is compatible.
Your plan includes unlimited data (at up to 512 kbps), unlimited talk and text, optimized video streaming, and limited domestic data roaming (amongst other goodies).
The largest differential is that you DO have an independent phone number for making and receiving calls and texts. When you have Data with Paired DIGITS, as explained above, the "phone number" you are given is only there for billing purposes and can't be used for accepting voice calls. By "pairing" your primary number with your DIGITS line, you can receive your primary number's phone calls on the watch using the LTE connection, thus the "leave your phone at home" function.
As it appears that Samsung has removed the ability to forward calls to the wearable device via the app (according to tons of user testimonies), the only option available to you would be the manual forward through Sprint, but as you said, it probably wouldn't be the best experience as it would ring and ring. For the watch to have the real ability to collect your calls, you'd have to activate a T-Mo line and switch from ONE to DIGITS.
