What can you try?

Try these safe, user-level checks in order; do not open the device. Menu labels may differ by version.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Check whether the exact watch model is Bluetooth-only or supports LTE/eSIM.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    For a Bluetooth model, keep the phone nearby and verify Galaxy Wearable connection.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    For an LTE model, check the activated mobile plan with the carrier and watch network status.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Restart the phone and watch, then test calls in an area with good coverage.

  5. 05

    Step 5

    If calls still fail, follow Samsung’s model-specific LTE and Bluetooth connection support guidance.

How can you confirm the fix?

Calls work for the watch’s connection type and the network warning disappears.

When should you contact service?

Contact your carrier and Samsung if an active LTE plan still shows no service.

⚠ Stop using a device if it overheats, shows liquid damage, smells burnt or has a swollen battery.

Will a repair cost money?

Settings, cables and user checks may require no repair. Hardware costs depend on the exact model, warranty and service diagnosis; no fixed price is promised.

Quick answers

Could these checks affect warranty?

Use only external checks recommended for end users by the manufacturer. Opening batteries, electronics or sealed parts can create safety and warranty risks.

What if the steps do not help?

Write down your model, software version and test results. Share those details with official support rather than repeating potentially unsafe actions.

How was this sourced?

Model scope: Bluetooth-only Galaxy Watch models cannot make independent cellular calls; LTE capability is model-dependent.
