Re: How to Activate Samsung watch LTE
Update May 2022 I had learned about this problem after I already bought the watch and didn't want to take it back and get an Apple Watch so I tried contacting T-Mobile about setting it up and they were still unaware of the problem. Samsung also claimed to not know why the watch couldn't activate the service. I finally decided to go this way and when I called a local T-Mobile store to see if they would be willing to help me,they flat out said no. They said, incorrectly I add,that Samsung watches can only be used with Samsung devices and that they wouldn't be able to help. I tried explaining the process to the woman I spoke to and she straight up cut me off and said they weren't willing to help and that it wasn't possible. My only route was to Find a friend with a Samsung phone or to buy one just for the purpose of getting the LTE set up and then returning it. I tried finding friends with them but none were close enough to help. I ended up just buying one on Amazon and sure enough I was able to get everything working from that phone. After I finished setting everything up, I wiped the phone and will be returning it to Amazon. It's a lot of hoops to jump through just to get the service activated on your watch and it's bogus. Shame on Samsung for being so petty as to make a watch that is "compatible" with other non-Samsung phones but not compatible at the same time. People should not have to jump through hoops to get their devices towork as they're supposed to. Without a Samsung phone to activate the LTE, all you have is a Bluetooth connection. The non LTE watches are cheaper and do the same thing so they're really ripping people off by saying that their watch is compatible with any phone. Shame on T-Mobile as well because they perpetuate the problem by not being up to date on how it all works and their incompetence is only to get you to buy another device that is compatible. I can't tell you how many times someone said, "well maybe I can interest you in an Apple Watch." If I wanted an Apple Watch, I would've bought an Apple Watch to begin with, thanks. Sorry for the rant. In short, this method is still valid and working but do not count on your local T-Mobile store being as helpful as the OG poster. I know mine wasn't.1Ver1like0Comentarios
