Hi

I was sent an eSim for Galaxy Watch 3 4G (pre-owned). I have it all setup but cannot make/receive calls in standalone mode.

Is there supposed to be an airtime plan for the watch in addition to the airtime plan I have for the mobile? If yes, how do I signup. Anyone I speak with online or in-instore, no one has a clue.

Yes, the watch plan is an extra £5 per month and you need to set it up through the wearables app on your phone.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Thanks for that.

 

In wearables I have the mobile plan setup, providing this is the right place. It's a Samsung S9+, so in Wear app, under Mobile Plans it states:
Service Provider: O2-UK

Service state: In service

Name: Profile name

 

I had this setup for nearly a month and in my recent bill there is no airtime plan for watch. I thought this would have been setup when the eSim was sent out.

 

Do I need to call O2 up again to setup the airtime plan?

 

Thanks for your help.

You have to activate it now.

If you're not being charged, it isn't active.

You've probably figured out that I'm rubbish at this.

 

How I followed the instructions in section 

 

About esim for Samsung Connected Watches

 

from this link https://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/esim

I'll try removing the eSim and add it again, I think this is allowed 3 times before becomes invalid.

Many Thanks

Removed plan and re-added, still no luck.

 

As before get signal bars on the watch.

 

Using the watch I tried to select network using Find Networks then get message "Network search failed"

 

and tried Select Automatically, get the message "Failed to select network"

 

Any ideas?

Best way to check if the plan is setup and working is to

Go into Connections,
Then go into Mobile Networks
Scroll to the Bottom and tap Select Mobile Plans
You should see - O2-UK-585F (enabled)

If you don't see enabled then you have a problem.

Also make sure auto is set to On

Where did you buy the watch from?
- Xperia 1V - o2 and Spusu
- Pixel 8 Pro - o2 and Vodafone UK

I'll get in touch with O2 maybe ask for another eSim. The problem is not many at O2 (store or online) have much knowledge on this which is very frustrating.

Apologies, i didn't see your reply

I would contact Samsung Support

https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/

They are available via Live Chat between 8am and 8pm, and should be able to point you in the right direction

Smart Watches can be a black art im afraid.

Let us know how you get on with Samsung

Hi Keru,

 

Did you ever resolve this issue? I have exactly the same problem with the same errors when trying to connect to the network with my Galaxy Watch 3.
