Forwarding Calls to Gear S
If you turn on Auto call forwarding, when Gear
S is in Remote Connection mode, calls to the
smartphone are automatically forwarded to the
Gear S. You can turn on Auto call forwarding
when you pair your Gear S with a smartphone,
in the Gear S Settings, or in Settings of the
Samsung Gear app on the smartphone.
When call forwarding is active:
•
Your smartphone will ring a few times for
an incoming call, and then the call will be
forwarded to your Gear S.
•
If you do not answer the call on your Gear S,
the caller may leave a voicemail that you can
listen to on your Gear S.
To use call forwarding, the Use Remote
connection setting must be enabled on the
Samsung Gear app on the smartphone (this is
enabled by default).
Call forwarding continues until your Gear S and
smartphone are connected again, via Bluetooth
or remote connection.
Note
: Depending on your service
provider, call forwarding may require a
separate subscription, and may result in
additional charges.
If you uninstall the Samsung Gear app
while call forwarding is active, you will
need to turn off call forwarding in the
smartphone’s Call settings.
Turn off call forwarding before switching
or removing SIMs in either the
smartphone or Gear S, to avoid calls
being routed to unintended devices.
