Tmobile Users: How do you handle call forwarding?

[jir591]

I was thinking of selling my Tmobile Gear S2 and buy the Urbane LTE. With the Gear S2, call forwarding from phone to watch is automatic when the watch and phone are no longer connected via bluetooth. Then call forwarding is turned off when they are reconnected. How is done with the Urbane, automatic or manual?
Also, when the phone and watch are connected via bluetooth and a call comes in, if you answer it on your phone does the call stay at the phone and conversely if a call comes in and you answer it on your watch does the call stay at the watch? Thanks.

You have to manually forward it. But it is quite easy on the watch (on or off). When I had Gear S, I remember the auto forwarding takes way too long and often failed.
Calls stay which ever way you pick but basically U2 just act like another BT headset to the phone which brings it to another point: out of box, you can't do it. It requires some configuration to enable it and we already have a few threads about it.

Tmobile announced a "better" version of numbersync last year. Not sure what's the status on it though. They are probably going to use a similar technology as Verizon with their number sharing feature. Band 12 with VoLTE is gaining steam so that is what they will probably use to make it happen. So if you have a Band 12 capable smartphone on tmobile then it would make it possible to forward that phone number to wifi or data connected device. But be warned, there are definitely downsides to using that feature. If you just need calls forwarded, manually forwarding the number is more more efficient.
