Samsung Gear S2 with NumberSync now available from AT&T

Users interested in a smartwatch that can handle phone calls and texts all on its own now have the option of buying the Samsung Gear S2 through AT&T. To help make things easier for consumers, AT&T developed their own NumberSync platform for smartwatches and other devices so that calls or texts to a user’s number on their smartphone will also get delivered to other devices, like the Gear S2, meaning users do not need a separate number for their additional devices.

The new NumberSync feature will be available to early adopters of the Gear S2 through a software update, while new users will have the option available upon initial setup. With NumberSync, users can send and receive texts and calls using the Gear S2 using the AT&T wireless network. Users do not need to be connected to their smartphone and the smartphone can even be turned off or not otherwise connected to the AT&T network for calls and texts to still get through to the Gear S2.

The Gear S2 can be purchased from AT&T for $99.99 with a two-year service agreement, either a new $30 minimum Mobile Share plan or $10 to add the device to an existing plan. The device is normally priced at $299.99 with no annual contract.

AT&T indicates they plan to support additional devices using the NumberSync platform and will be making announcements in the future as they expand support.
