I started Mobile plan configuration in Wearable app for my Galaxy watch 6 with a physical prepaid sim card in my S23, from a provider which does not have esim for prepaid. The app failed to configure the Mobile plan for this sim and next step was to scan a QR code for another esim which I had from a different provider. Now I have the Watch 6 LTE activated with a different number, I can use it without the phone, but I can also call or answer from the watch when it is connected with the phone using the phone number.
I don't think LTE will work unless you have a Samsung phone, may vary according to regions. Don't know why most Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 reviewers conveniently forget to mention this.
Actually you can use any phone that is esim compatible. Not just samsung phone. Then you call airtel or Jio (only 2 comps providing esim) and get your esim on phone. I so want to buy the classic 43mm but need to first get the esim-compatible phone. I can get this phone and watch reimbursed (totally free from my sister's job), but my present phone is just 1 yr old and working, and there is NO exchange offer for this model. I can't dream of keeping 2 phones even though the new one will be free. It's such a wastage of resources. I am proudly old-school and earth-friendly. I am ready to get even rs2000 as exchange offer to buy new phone 😢😢.
Hi bro, after pairing the watch with the phone, can I use the mobile too, or only one device (mobile or watch, or both devices)? Please let me know. I'm planning to buy one.
Hi, I have recently bought Galaxy Watch 6 LTE variant. I am already using Airtel PREPAID plan on my mobile device. Will I be able to set up PREPAID connection on my galaxy watch 6 through e-sim? I am told by my service provider, only postpaid plan can be set up on LTE watch. Could you please clarify me by reply comment?
I have a question, now 5G connection has reached even the remote areas in India, how will it affect the 4G range of smartwatches? After 2 or 3 years will this lte version of GW 6 be useless if a 5G enabled smartwatch comes out? Please reply as I'm planning to buy GW6 LTE.
Hi it wont make much of a difference as you will be mostly using the phone for calls and data, you can use LTE on the watch only when you don't have the phone on you which rarely is the cases unless you leave your phone for the entire day, 4g is good enough for a watch
Is there a way to setup the watch6 as a stand alone phone? It's basically so my kid can use it to text and call us, but without them getting my texts, emails and calls. I purchased one and it has LTE and it's own phone number but still requires a phone to setup. My kid doesn't have their own phone, so I'd have to use mine, which is what I'm teting to avoid. Any advise would be helpful.
I don't know if you have gotten any feedback or a solution, but you can set the watch up as standalone on any major cellular network. I have 3 Galaxy Watches (3, 5, and 6 Classic) and they are all standalone on the Verizon network.
@Childfree334 do you mind sharing step by step instructions on HOW to set it up as a standalone device? I have tried for 3 days with Verizon AT&T and T-Mobile and have failed at each location.
I was told that the 6 is no longer a standalone device, meaning no separate cell phone number for just the watch. I've been the phone with tmobile for 4 days setting this watch up since my s3 frontier is permanently stuck in reboot mode and last night I was told that it was setup, I disconnected the watch from my s24 & made 2 calls that went through so we assumed all was good. Well this morning I realized I never got the phone number for the watch and tmobile gave me technical support who told me thst due to a software change these phones don't support standalone anymore. So why still sell LTE phones? Anyone else experienced this?
@@ThePhoneFuelyes, but you surely don't make/receive calls on/from your watch when you are far away from phone, that is, without bluetooth, right? Please confirm that we need esim-compatible phone for that... 😢😢
I have been trying to set up watch 6 classic but have failed miserably. My phone has an esim and I am trying to get the same number on my watch. Could this be a problem?

No you can sue the watch with the phoen enar by but if you left yoru phoen at home you can't use it unless it has a number on it to get signal from the enar towers which LTE does but if you only have the other with no number the phone has to be near you to work.

@ThePhoneFuel please help me to sort out this. I'm using watch 6 classic lte only but if I leave my phone nearly 10 metres watch started to intimate phone disconnected and even I'm not able to make or receive calls without phone. I'm using airtel only.
Great video, thanks for sharing all the information with us! Is it a must for the phone to support esim or can this be done while having a regular sim card?
@@ThePhoneFuelhey great video! Regular physical sim card on phone? Here in India, all articles state you need an esim-compatible phone in order to receive phone calls on LTE watch (without the phone nearby). As in, I leave my phone in kolkata and receive and make calls on/from my LTE watch in delhi. I have a galaxy m32. Do you mean I can leave my m32 and just move to another state.
I plan to buy the lte watch for my Morning Runs....so i can keep the phone at home. What will be the battery life of the watch....in full lte mode and with earbuds connected and music ON through the watch? Anyone tested this out?
I have a active 4 that seem to work with my Pixel 7 but nto to sure on the enw watch I getting a classic in the mail so i will see if it works with the phone or need to sue ym samsung phone for that
Only problem is when u try to clear data and cache from Google play system, the watch going to be disconnected and we have to reset the watch in order to reconnect. So what will happen with ESIM activation?
Thanks for the video, I did all the steps but when I call out from my watch when I'm away from the phone, the phone number from the Esim showsand when people call on the phone is home and I'm far away from the phone the watch doesn't ring only of the call the phone number for the Esim
Omg. Your English is so good I wouldn't have believed you are living in India. First Indian tech video I can understand properly.
I can tell, as he has a pretty strong accents but I live in America so I can tell easily someone is not from here.
ofc we all can speak fluent english here in india. Our accent just makes it seem not so
Girl, Indians speak english better than Brits. Although not a thing to be proud of.😅
Do we need a Samsung phone to connect LTE or any Android Phone would work
I need yall to spread the word turn your always on display off for the ones who say the battery drain fast that's what be draining the battery

Great how long battery lasts after you activate LTE on your watch ?
Is it only applicable for postpaid sim?

Samsung

What will be the battery life of the watch....in full lte mode and with earbuds connected and music ON through the watch?
Anyone tested this out?
Howz the battery now?
Okayish, testing in different settings, will post the results soon
Does this make the sim in your phone unusable
Are they carrier unlocked ? Am thinking of getting one,i was told Samsung galaxy watches are all unlocked,is there any truth to that.
Why does it say "metro doesn't offer mobile plans for your watch" for me
Does it work only if u have Samsung phone?
I have a active 4 that seem to work with my Pixel 7 but nto to sure on the enw watch I getting a classic in the mail so i will see if it works with the phone or need to sue ym samsung phone for that
It works with any android phone except iPhones,
Will truecaller work on lte?
It says connecting to your service provider and gets stuck on it
It is showing airtel but not good news thing what should i do
Couldn't hear this. This works only for airtel postpaid?
I haven't tried it with prepaid, may be it works, check with the network provider
What other Networks does this work with? Airtel and Jio is confirmed, it works.
Not sure about that
Airtel only postpaid
how far can it go without phone beign near by??? i really have to know
unlimited
Its acting as if it has its own independent sim
With Google fi it's included in your plan
This is your samsung phone or other phone
Only problem is when u try to clear data and cache from Google play system, the watch going to be disconnected and we have to reset the watch in order to reconnect. So what will happen with ESIM activation?
