Does Tracfone work with LGWU2?

[acegolfer]

Does anyone use tracfone? It's a ATT MVNO.

Why do I ask? 800min/800txt/800mb costs $30 a year (not month). Get Big Easy Plus w/ 1 yr plan on eBay and transfer the account to a BYOP GSM nano sim.

PS: Sorry if this has been asked before. I am lost with the new interface and don't know how to search within the forum.

The watch is unlocked, so you should be able to use a plan from any carrier that runs on the right frequency bands. If they are an AT&T MVNO I can't see a problem.

Some MVNOs require manually setup APN for data. In that case, it won't work because currently there is no way to manually enter APN.

Ooh, good point.

With the new keyboard support in AW2.0, hopefully, this will no longer be an issue.

I don't think it's necessarily the keyboard function which is the issue, as they could have put in a voice control in the same place, or let you set it from Android Wear on your phone, but that they didn't even think of that problem to begin with. But yes, hopefully that gets fixed!

Did you ever figure out if it worked? I'm still looking for a sim that works with this watch...

I'm using it (urbane 2nd ed, tracfone gsm, ie AT&T MVNO), seems to be working fine for calls/text and data.
