I was told the same thing -that i could leave my phone at home and use the watch as a stand-alone. I am paying for a $10 data plan for the watch so it should work. when i walk more than 30 feet away from my phone it disconnects from Bluetooth and says that mobile data will be used instead, but...

well, boo -I got it all set up and activated and I guess Sprint doesn't have the option to turn on auto-call forwarding. I found the menu just like yours, but there is only the option to turn call forwarding on or off. At least it will automatically connect remotely when I go out of Bluetooth...

ah -so from that last part that reads "Turn on call forwarding automatically while your gear is disconnected from your mobile device. This will forward incoming calls from your mobile device to your gear until the devices are re-connected." Because it says that the calls will be forwarded...

Thanks-it's starting to make more sense now! Once you have a phone number activated on your gear, if you connect remotely will the calls from your phone automatically forward to the gear because of the network connection? or do you also have to turn on call forewarding. I am just not sure if...

mountainbikermark -Thanks so much -that was very helpful on the data -Good to know I can relax a bit now! I'm a little confused on how it works when remotely connected. Do you have to turn on call forwarding too? or does it do that automatically since you are connected through the network...

Rukbat- I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions! I do already understand the limitations of Bluetooth and wifi -I know that is why it disconnects when I am at home but too far. I probably didn't word my questions very well since there are different things that I wanted to know...

When you are connected remotely, do you still get text messages on the gear? and e-mails? I could live without e-mails (although I prefer to have them in case I am waiting for something important), but I really want to make sure I get texts if I leave my phone at home. I have unlimited...

The way that you are using your gear (leaving it and forewording calls) is exactly what I wanted to do, but I can't figure out how to do that without using up all the data and phone minutes on the gear plan (which is very small with my sprint gear data plan which is only 100 mb). I am home the...

Hi! Anyone out there have plenty of experience with using the Gear S with the different connection modes? I have just purchased a used Gear S (because I am with Sprint and they are not carrying them and no one -not even Samsung could find one for me). It should be here today, so I'm trying...

I called Sprint yesterday to inquire about what actions would use up the tiny data plan on the gear S (with sprint, it's only 1000 texts, 1000 minutes of talk and 100 MB of data unless you have a family share plan that you can add it to -unfortunately, I have a better deal without a share plan...
