Will there be Samsung Galaxy Active2 watch plan anytime soon? PLEASE!!!!!

[20_20_hindsight]

I'm really getting tired of Verizon's deceptive pricing (as well as the other major carriers). I have my Galaxy watch with them and they advertise $10 for the plan plus taxes and fees. Well their taxes and fees are 50% of the watch plan itself! So I end up paying over $15 a month! Their admin fee is just a way to pad the cost too. NOT HAPPY. Visible, please provide a Galaxy watch plan!!!

I 2nd this suggestion! In fact, I am not familiar with say how 'Visible' activates the eSim on the Apple Watch that seems to be supported, however, if it can be sent by a QR code, it is highly likely our Samsung Galaxy Watches that have the LTE/eSim can in fact work. Check this little gem out I just found after feverishly trying to get SmartWatch Only service through another provider I won't even mention because they simply suck. Anyhoo: https://youtu.be/1vNAsQcb_u0

Any Visible Reps? Talk to me! Please

PS: I can in fact confirm that the newer Galaxy Watch 5Pro LTE can access this 'hidden' feature to allow QR code scan in the current "Galaxy Wearable" App. At least for me via the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra which is my phone w/ Visible atm. *hint* *hint* ?

can we get Samsung watches supported?

After an entire day of trying and failing to get a standalone plan for my Samsung Galaxy Watch5 from T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T (their website makes it seem possible to do, and even lets you order, check out, get the eSIM, etc., but then after it's all said and done, when you go look at your account it says you are on a $75/month data plan, although when you order it clearly says $13.49/month), I finally got it done.  Here's what I ended up doing.  First, I went to mintmobile.com, paid for a three-month $45 prepaid plan (4GB of data per month) that's not even marketed for watches.  It's for phones.  But I figured I'd try this out.  The major carriers all insist that you have a postpaid phone line with them to be able to add a line for a watch.  I don't need or want a separate postpaid line that will cost me between two and three times what I'm currently paying for my prepaid phone line.  But anyways, on the website I selected the option to receive an eSIM.  It says on there you can only use it on select devices.  I didn't even pick a device on their list, (which later on it even told me it would only work for select iPhones, scared me for a bit) but just opted for eSIM delivery.  I got the email, clicked the link, and it wasn't working.  By it I mean the activation code.  So I opened up a chat with a rep, he got me a new phone number, set up my account, and then sent me the QR code in a .png file.  I connected the watch by Bluetooth to an older Galaxy phone that doesn't even have a SIM card in it.  I used the link above to get the Galaxy Wearable app to scan the QR code, and guess what?  It worked!  I then turned off the Bluetooth on the phone, thus disconnecting the phone from the watch.  Next, I tested it out, and it worked.  My watch is now working as a standalone unit for both phone calls and texts, with Mint Mobile as the carrier.  I'm paying $15/month, prepaid.  Awesome!  Take that, major carriers!  As far as contacts, which is all I really wanted to transfer over from the phone, what I did was set up a Samsung and Google account on the phone, and put all of the contacts I wanted on this watch in the Google account.  They synced over into the watch perfectly.  Now I'll just hook up the phone to the watch every few weeks or months for updates, and to sync any new contacts from the Samsung/Google accounts.

Same here! Get it together Visible.

20_20_hindsight,

I feel the same way.  I have a Samsung Galaxy watch and it does suck to have to pay Verizon.  I hope visible will get a Samsung watch plan too.

20_20_hindsight,

I know your pain.  i am having to jump through hoops to close my $15 a month line for my Samsung smartwatch with verizon.  The customer service rep hung up on me.  Will try going to a store near me.  if that is not the answer then stopping my card they use for auto pay will hopefully cure it.

I'm with you!

I'm a Samsung watch owner, just switched to Visible for phone service. I'd be happy to give money to Visible for a watch plan. It's hard to believe that they only support apple users, what a joke.

[mikey1273]

Yeah, I would be so, Happy to hand over the additional $5 a month they are charging for Apple watches to have my Watch6 Classic on LTE. I have looked in to switching Providers too. At&t would cost me 60% more for the 2 lines I would be able to combine. I looked at Xfinity mobile,with the discounts for combining my home internet adding the watch would only cost me $10 more but Xfinity plans all have very much more restrictive Hotspot services that would be unusable in the summer when we go camping. They claim you don't need hotspot because they have so many free Xfinity hotspots, which aren't where we go it's a deal breaker. 

Hopefully someone in marketing sees these threads.

Agreed, very deceptive marketing and very frustrating. I signed up for plus plan as well and tried to switch the day I activated when they said it wouldn't work. Had a promo code for $5off for 2 years and now they won't honor it just because I signed up for the + plan even though I tried to switch the day I activated. Very disappointed with my first experience with Visible. 

[DeanKevin64]

They won't honor it because they don't have to, the promo needed to be used at the time you signed up not after. Also, downgrading plans you would still have to pay the price of the plus plan, no refunds for downgrading early in the month. The downgrade would not take effect until your next billing date because of this. If you have signed up and used the CHAMP promo for the plus plans it also says in the disclosure that a plan change would remove any prior promos or discounts.
