In need for help on this question. I checked with verizon which is my carrier and they have given up on the standalone option. Samsung claims it can be setup as standalone.
My purpose is for a 10 year old to place/receive calls on his Samsung watch 4 LTE as a standalone. I do not want to give him a phone as of now.
Please let me know which carrier supports this if anyone have it

If it's an LTE watch it depends on the carrier how it's implemented but the phone isn't needed. TMobile used digits to forwards and make calls on the watch.

So the whole point of LTE watch is not to need your phone and it will work without it. There is a line change the carrier will issue however and a separate, smaller data cap.

Thank you for the reply. But I just wanted to know which carrier would support this as standalone as there are many samsung watch users here.

If you're in the US, all three major carriers should. Sub-providers (Boost, Metro, etc..) {aka MVNO's} probably won't.

Just to specify. If you want the same number that's on the phone, it MUST be the same carrier. If you go to another carrier it will be assigned its own number. You also might not be able to activate it without an existing phone-line but am unsure about the last bit.
