Oh yeah, I forgot about that.CDMA phone/devices don't use SIM. Version/Sprint only use SIM for LTE.

I know, there got to be a way around it. If not now, hopefully soon. I just don't want to give out my 2nd number.In the manual it states "If a Bluetooth connection between the two devices is not available, outgoing calls
will only be made from the Gear." that blows

On Verizon, I've confirmed that on cellular/no Bluetooth, my texts come from my cell phone's number but outgoing voice calls has been confirmed to come from the gear's phone number. I rarely make outgoing calls anyway so that doesn't bother me at all since texting works just fine.
I've been using google voice for years so I have a google alias number for all my frequent contacts. So I can call them and text them from my gear s watch using my number that everybody knows which is my Google Voice number. Plus they don't have to wait forever when they call me for the call to be forwarded to my watch because it will ring my watch and my phone at the same time.

6) What settings should I have for Blutooth/ Remote, etc.
If my phone is on me I'm connected by Bluetooth. If it isn't I'm connected remotely. If I don't care to receive email and other notifications I turn off my phone and still receive calls and texts to my watch just like any other phone.

Excuse me for being confused. I am tempted to set up a GV account just so that when I call out and text from my watch that my phone number shows up, not my watch number.

Excuse me for being confused. I am tempted to set up a GV account just so that when I call out and text from my watch that my phone number shows up, not my watch number. I have a few questions:
When prompted to choose a GV number, shouldn't that be my cell phone number? I mean, if I have to choose a new number for my GV, wouldn't that be a total of 3 numbers: cell, watch, and GV? If I should choose a new number, wouldn't I have to tell friends of that new number, the same way otherwise like my watch number?
Cool, thanks. So can you confirm and explain how when you call or text from your watch that your GV number shows up instead of your watch's number?You are correct. When you setup your GV and choose a number you will have 3 numbers. It is a pain at first because you have to give everyone your new number but once it gets out you will no longer have to give out different numbers even if your main number changes or you get another watch number or whatever because you will just change your settings in GV again.
I believe you can port your existing number to GV but I never did that because I was fine just getting a fresh number and starting from scratch.

No, you are not rude, in fact helpful and patient. Yes, I reread your posts. At this time, I am going to stay put and not use Google Voice. Depending on any possible future update, I may need to give out my Gear number instead. Thanks though!I don't mean to be rude but I've already done that in this thread. Please read the posts above for your answer.

Hi guys, quick question... is this a connection with bluetooth only or do you already pay for the seperate watch plan? When I disconnect from my bluetooth it shows connected by watch only. Im confused on the remote connection. To me it sounds like you do not need a second line for this, as it uses your moible plan. I reread the manual mult times but not clear on this. Can you guys help?
I have the att version
