Questions & Answers (82)

• Q: What does it mean by carrier GPS? I thought the watch is not carrier locked, isn't it? (5 answers)

  A: The LTE and Bluetooth models of the Galaxy Watch 6 are the same in every aspect, although the difference is that the LTE model is equipped with an eSIM that enables cellular connectivity. As a result, the LTE model is a standalone smartwatch that can make and receive calls, and receive and reply to messages independent of a smartphone. Meanwhile, the Bluetooth model can also make and receive calls, but it requires your phone to be nearby to do that. so LTE needs a separate service but can be stand alone where as BT only needs a device/phone that already has service.

• Q: Does this watch show, receive, read & send RCS text (4 answers)

  A: The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Aluminum Smartwatch 40mm BT can show, receive, read, and send RCS text messages if the phone it is paired with has RCS enabled. RCS stands for Rich Communication Services, and it is a more advanced messaging protocol than SMS. RCS messages can include features such as typing indicators, read receipts, and high-quality photos and videos. To enable RCS on your phone, you will need to use the Messages app from Google. Open the Messages app and tap on the three dots in the top right corner. Then, select Settings > Chat features > Turn on chat features. Once RCS is enabled on your phone, it will be enabled on your watch as well. You can then send and receive RCS messages from your watch just like you would from your phone. However, it is important to note that not all carriers support RCS. If your carrier does not support RCS, you will not be able to use these features on your watch. Here are the steps on how to check if your carrier supports RCS: Open the Messages app on your phone. Tap on the three dots in the top right corner. Select Settings > Chat features. If you see the message "Chat features are unavailable," then your carrier does not support RCS. If your carrier does not support RCS, you can still use your watch to send and receive SMS messages. However, you will not be able to use the more advanced features that are available with RCS.
