Now dont kill me, I've looked. On my Note 4, have Bluetooth disconnect and on the watch wifi turned off. It DOES show the 3G symbol on the watch, but when I try to send out a text from the watch number, keeps saying "sending failed". Am I missing something?

Yes. The number is active on my account, done *228 twice. On the watch, I have Mobile Network on, and the Network Switch to auto, but seems I'm sill missing something.

Help needed, thanks!

There is million things there could go wrong :)

No, you are not overlooking anything. You need call Verizon and straighten out your problem on your watch's account.

Got it figured out. Had a tablet on this line before the Gear S. So with that said, it automatically puts on a text block on that line. Had to call in a get it removed.

Duh :)
