Can you please share how you got it to work as a standalone device on AT&T?
​I bought an unlocked one directly from Samsung for my kid, but I haven't been able to activate it on either AT&T or Verizon. After multiple supervisor escalations, their top tier tech support told that only Apple Watches can be used on standalone plans, and that ALL Android watches are strictly limited to paired/shared plans.
​Since you got it working, I would love to learn the trick or the specific steps you took to bypass this restriction. TIA
I saw that you already got another response here, but which "top tier" support were you talking to, AT&T, Verizon, or Samsung? AT&T and Verizon don't have standalone plans for watches, so you'd have to buy a plan from an MVNO like Tello or US Mobile.

It's been a while so I don't remember how we activated the mobile plan, but you have to activate it via scanning the QR Code for the eSIM. Can't use the automated detection that the Galaxy Wear app uses for companion plans.

Below are the steps that AI generated from my notes. Also see this Reddit thread about using it Kids mode if you're interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWa..._watch_in/

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the modified, step-by-step instructions to set up a standalone **US Mobile Dark Star (AT&T)** plan on a **Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 LTE**.

---

## Step 1: Purchase the US Mobile Standalone Plan

Do not use the standard Apple or Pixel Watch companion plans offered in the dashboard; this setup requires a full standalone line.

* Go to the [US Mobile Helium Alternative Page](https://www.usmobile.com/helium-m...lternative) or the standard [US Mobile Light Plan Checkout](https://app.usmobile.com/dashboar...ategory=DB).
* Select the **Light Plan** (which includes 2 GB of data, plus unlimited talk and text).
* **Promo Code Tip:** If checking out via the Helium alternative link, enter the promo code **HELIUM5** to drop the annual cost down to $60 for the first year (normally $8/month or $96/year).
* Choose **eSIM** as your delivery method and explicitly select the **Dark Star (AT&T)** network.
* Complete the checkout process. Once the line is ready for activation, US Mobile will generate an **eSIM Activation QR Code** in your dashboard. Keep this QR code open on a computer screen or another device.

---

## Step 2: Access the Hidden Developer Menu on the Phone

The Galaxy Wearable app can be installed from the Google Play Store on any compatible Android phone to facilitate this process.

1. Open the **Galaxy Wearable** app on the phone.
2. Tap the **"3-stripe" (hamburger) menu** icon in the upper-left corner.
3. Tap the **Gear icon (Settings)** on the right side of that slide-out menu.
4. Scroll down and tap **"About Galaxy Wearable"**.
5. Tap quickly **5 times** directly on the large title heading that says **"Galaxy Wearable"**.
6. A hidden developer options list will appear. Tap on **"Test ESIM Feature"**.
7. Look for **"Current QR TestMode"** and toggle it to **ON**.

---

## Step 3: Scan the US Mobile QR Code

1. Go back to the main screen of the Galaxy Wearable app.
2. Tap **Watch settings**.
3. Select **Mobile plans**.
4. Tap **Use code**. This will open the phone's camera interface.
5. Scan the **US Mobile Dark Star eSIM QR code** you generated in Step 1.

---

## Step 4: Enable the Network Plan on the Watch

1. On your Galaxy Watch 7, swipe down and open **Settings** (the gear icon).
2. Tap **Connections**, then select **Mobile networks**.
3. Ensure that the setting is toggled to **"Auto"** or **"Always on"**.
4. Scroll down to **Mobile plans**.
5. Locate the newly added US Mobile network profile and toggle it to **ON**.

---

**Important Troubleshooting Note:** Because you are activating a standard voice/data phone plan on a wearable hardware device, the profile may not handshake perfectly right out of the gate. If you get no service after completing these steps, open a live chat with **US Mobile Support**. Inform them that you are setting up a standalone eSIM on a watch framework and ask them to verify the device mapping/provisioning on their backend to push the activation through.
Thank you very much for your detailed guide. I followed your steps but still got no service. The rep told me that it won't work on the watch because the line is for a phone. Do you know any solutions?

Try pointing the rep to this Reddit thread where a US Mobile rep said it was possible and to contact them to help set it up. They will need to do something on their end to get it working. https://www.reddit.com/r/USMobile...p_by_step/

Same. At first it let me add it to cart but then I couldn't press "Continue", went back and tried again and got this error. Bummer.

I found this on the deals page under the terms:

Get a Galaxy Watch7 for $29.99
This offer is for customers who have been with Metro for at least 30 days. You'll need to pay any applicable sales tax. Limit 4 per account. A Metro smartphone line is required. This is a limited-time offer and, like everything else in this crazy world, is subject to change.

If I have to wait 30 days and end up paying an additional $25, It brings the total to almost $100, that's getting close to best buy open box territory and I'd rather get the 44mm for that price.

So these come and remain factory unlocked, based on the comments reported that say they activated on other MVNOs?

US Mobile rep because I got "No service" after scanning the bar code.

It appears T-Mobile is blacklisting the IMEI for all their MVNOs except Metro Mobile, presumably for 365 days after activation on Metro. It should work on other providers that use AT&T or Verizon that have a compatible watch plan.

Sounds like they were just confused. Which network did they use for the plan, was it Light Speed, Warp, or Dark Star?

Also just to make sure, after you scanned the QR Code from the Wear app on your phone, did you go in to the watch settings and turn on the mobile plan?

So, I was right when I posted an earlier comment about needing to have a service for 30+ days

It seems that way. And I wasted $30 on a line for a month. I ordered a used watch on eBay, my watch 6 died a couple days ago. Maybe I'll stick it out the month and see if the metro watch is still available and get it for my wife to upgrade her watch 5. I just hope I can get it before I pay for the 2nd month. Gonna turn off autopay.
