   That's more than the question I recollect. It's an eastward-sim, so you can't "change information technology". I would call t-mobile and see if they tin activate the device specific esim, or what they suggest you do if they can't.

   The Seminoles is paid for and T-mobile is sending a Sim so they remember information technology tin can exist swapped out. It has a number associated with it. I recollect I volition accept to call AT&T and go it unlocked and run across if I can port it over.

   Thanks

   Whoever you're talking to is clueless. The SIM on the Gear S2 and S3 is embedded in the device. Information technology cannot be removed or replaced. It is activated electronically by the carrier. Theoretically, you should exist able to switch carriers, simply in actuality, its probably not possible. Your best bet is to take it into a T-Mobile store and ask them to actuate information technology.

   Good luck and please report back on your success.

   Here is an update I called AT&T and they told me it was under contract, when I got it I was told that I was getting it costless since I bought my married woman a new S7. At any rate I paid the $120 and and am nevertheless waiting on AT&T's site to prove information technology equally paid and unlock information technology. I can then phone call T-mobile and port the number. So this should be interesting. Hopefully by tomorrow I can practice it.

    I called AT&T once more and they said the device could not be unlocked. I volition sell it since I just got an S3 with T-Mobile.

    So long equally yous don't owe on the watch, y'all should be able to activate it on whatever carrier. You shouldn't need to unlock it, considering of the e-sim. Information technology would only demand to be deactivated from whichever account it was on, and activated on your new carrier.

    That is not what AT&T told me. I ended with an S3 Frontier and really like information technology.

    When we switched to TMO a few weeks ago I tried to do this. Information technology requires the new carrier be given the ICCID number which is supposed to be in the About Gear on the sentinel. It wasn't there and then I had to buy a new 3G or 4G sentry which I purchased off ebay this morning. Mine was a VZW sentinel. I even contacted Samsung directly and they told me if it wasn't at that place it couldn't exist ported. Possibly it'south just VZW who does this, I dunno.

    AT&T uses twenty characters in their ICCID number for the Gear S2. T-Mobile uses 19 in theirs. Therefore unlocked or not, an AT&T purchased Gear S2 is not cantankerous carrier uniform.

    The Verizon version of the watch uses CDMA, the ATT & Tmobile versions are GSM. Then the ICCID would be the "sim card" number. CDMA uses a different number, the ESN id.

    I'm with AT&T and bought an s2 on ebay, didn't notice that information technology was Verizon. Will this work with my s8 or am I merely gonna have to resale

    I have a T-Mobile S3 and moved to Verizon it volition non piece of work. I could not move it. You can utilise it as a Bluetooth device but simply not with Cellular.

    I am in the same boat.

    Another option is using the watch on T-Mobile while keeping the phone on Verizon. Works perfectly fine. There are a few folks here on the forum doing that, especially since the S3. T-Mobile's single line wear line is $15/mo.

    I take a T-mobile phone and a Verizon Gear S2 and Verizon wont give me just a wearables line.

    racrgrl - It should sync up fine with your S8, you lot just won't be able to activate the jail cell service for the S2. You lot'd just exist using it basically like the wifi version except since it is the 3G version at least yous'll have a speaker on the picket
