Samsung Watch 7 Kids mode for T-mobile help

[Adam Stratton]

I just bought a Watch 7 to use in Kid mode for my son... We have it all paired w/ my wifes phone via the Samsung gear app as well as the Family link... 

It won't make or receive phone calls and calling t-mobile support they are saying this is not supported however the samsung representitives in the store said it should work no problems... I'm trying  to figure out if the watch is messed up or if I need to be on a specific rate plan???

Hi

Thanks for the info.

I had issues when my kid started is year 6 in UK and his school wouldn't let them have a phone or a digital watch.

Ultimately we decided to put a Samsung smart tag on his key / bag and were able to roughly tell if he reached school or not or when he was on the train.

Not the greatest of ideas but it helped us keep track on him and peace of mind 🙏
