Number sync not working

S8 Plus and Gear S3 Frontier. I had to replace my phone, and ever since number sync won't work away from the phone. According to my account number sync is turned on. I've been to an AT&T store and talked to support, and it still doesn't work. This is very frustrating since I am paying for a service that doesn't work.

Hello @Bchbll,


I understand the desire to have these two device connected.  They work as an awesome duo!  We do have some great resources to help you with this.


I’m glad to hear you have attempted the resetting of the watch.  This is generally one of the primary steps which need to take place prior to setting up NumberSync again.  Here is an overview for NumberSync and wearables and please review this article for setting it up. This will describe the feature and this link will help resolve NumberSync issues.


If you still need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us back.  Have a great day!

Your idea of support is a joke. Do you even read the messages I send?

Hello @Bchbll,


I appreciate you responding back.  I do want to reassure you, your message has been read, and we can work with you in order to get this resolved.  It does sound like there is something going on during the initial set up process or something within the provisioning of the account which allows these two devices to communicate properly.  We can look into both options. 


Due to the nature of your situation, I will be sending you a Private Message to gather further details.  Please look for this message in your Forum’s inbox. 


Thanks!

I also tried resetting the watch and it worked for a couple of hours than stopped working again. I can't make calls from my watch when away from my phone like I should be able to. I get an alert like "the number you are trying to call cannot be called from this line". It's like it can't hold onto the sim card.

Att numbersyb will not work for me, ats has me exchange device after trouble shooting, new device wouldn't sync, store called samsung for support because watch will not give code, samsung says it a service issue, after 3 hours in the store 2 hours on the phone and countless hours researching the web I was told to give it a couple of days and return the device if I didnt want it. I am an att employee and this is the best solution they could give me. There is not dedicated support for numbersync ats and customer service has no idea what to do.

The same problem for me. Spent many hours with customer service and no fix. This is a waste of my money paying for something that doesn't work

I am currently having the same problem. I am using a S8 Plus and a Gear S2 it will say its sync with my phone on the website and than it will say NumberSync is not available and it will be disabled just a few moments later. It was working fine when i first bought the Gear and now i can't seem to get it to work and I am paying for a service that doesn't even work. I also tried resetting it to factory settings yesterday and still getting the same notification. Come on At&t any help will be appreciated.

I just got a new tablet. I have spent the better part of 2 day on the phone and in the store trying to set up my phone sync.   No one seems to know why I am in a loop requesting my E911 numbe, which will not let me save.   After 2hours on the phone with attitude tech the report came back on the phone and and told me it should be fixed in 24 hours and she would call me the following Monday.   I have gained  no ground as of Saturday night.   Don't have any clue what to do next.

My gear s 3 and my note 5 now a note 8 haven't connected since mid February 2018.  Samsung repaired watch 3 times and gave me a new one in July, still no joy.  Numbers Synn will be disabled, the service is currently unavailable, bla bla bla, over and over.  Att did another ticket today, after the first tech told me it was a Samsung issue, really.  Samsung said to send the watch in for repairs, AGAIN.  I love my cell service, but this Numbers Sync issue is a pain and I literally have wasted too much time, resetting, uninstalling, factory reset, dumping caches and data.  I am a freaking specialist now on how it doesn't work.  It's unfortunate I can't walk in to a attached store and have a specialist tech work on it and SLOVE the issue 

Tired of waiting on specialist tech to call me back within 3-5 days.
