T-Mobile® SyncUP KIDS™ Watch (Sprint)
Hola,
Is anyone having issues with the SyncUp Kids Watch 1.5, that is a Sprint customer? I just got my watch today and when I go the app, I created a TMobile ID using my email. When I go to pair the watch, it says "Watch has wrong rate plan. Please contact Customer Care and let our team know your watch has an invalid rate plan."
I have the Unlimited Watch Plan for $15/month. When I called Customer service they switched the plan to the other one, 500mb plan, and it still wasn't working.
We've restarted the watch multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I spent hours on the phone with customer service as well the chat sessions. No one has been able to help. They say they have never had this issue, I know that this is the newer version of the watch. Hoping someone is able to help! I'm stuck.
There is a fix my son's is now working... I took it to the t-mobile store... I AM AN EXISTING SPRINT CUSTOMER WITH SPRINT ACCOUNT. After spending hours on the phone last night with customer service not getting anywhere I went into the store this morning. My watch had a standard data plan assigned to the watch. it actually needs the syncup kids watch plan selected. Mine did not.. as soon as they changed it, it linked up... take it back to the store and ask them to fix it, the issue again was they had selected the wrong plan, a data plan, it needs the syncup kids watch plan... IT WILL WORK THEY DO WORK. after first look it and going through it I'm actually pretty excited to have him wearing it. Map is great messaging is great easy to add people to their contacts... phone calls could be clearer but not terrible, I didn't expect it to sound as clear as a real phone.
I am an existing Sprint customer (since 2004) I am on hold currently for a technical support specialist. It is currently almost 8PM where I live and while im writing this the call ended i was on hold for 54 minutes and the phone call just ended... waiting for the courtesy call back.... definitely a Sprint/T-mobile issue
Has this been resolved yet? We have been having this issue while Friday last week (today is Monday). I think it's just terrible to release a product that does not work. If this won't get resolved soon we will be forced to return the watch - so disappointing for my kid.
We had to return the ones we got. My mom ordered me one for my son on her T-Mobile plan and it worked immediately when we got it , so being unable to merge to T-Mobile completely is definitely the problem.
Anyone have any luck with the fix yet? If so, what process did you do to get it working
Hi all, we're working on this to be resolved. ETA we have is tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
Note: It’s not specific to the black versions.
I'm currently on with T-Mobile tech support. Not looking good. She mentioned at lot of others also have this issue. Not sure what they are going to do for me but I'm guessing this watch will be getting returned!
Thanks for the update, is this only with the newer black versions of the watch? If so, maybe they can apply a similar fix that was used with the white/gray version last year.
Not yet, I emailed Ola from the SyncUP KIDS Watch Team this morning. Still waiting for a response. I'll keep this post updated if we can get the issue resolved.
I haven't tried transferring my account to TMobile, but we have an older phone plan so not sure how that would effect that? When I looked at TMobile plans, comparable to what we currently have, we'd be paying $360 more a year. It wasn't worth the move for us, so I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Any updates on a potential fix for this issue? We are experiencing the same error of wrong rate plan and customer care has not been able to do much.
