Make calls is a feature of many new smart devices that allow you to make phone calls on your device. These include the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone X.
Make calls has been expanded to include both traditional phone numbers and contact lists. You can create as many call banks as you want, and then when you need to make a call you just go into them and dialed-you-darn-it!
This feature is very useful if you are traveling or not having a phone is inconvenient at times.

Update phone app
Now that your phone is linked to the gear, you can update your phone via the app. Just open the app and select “My Gear” from the top left. Then select “Access Phone” from the drop down menu.
This allows you to check for updates on your device, as well as make and receive calls on your gear. You can also send and receive messages on your device too.
You can also send texts using the Gear’s messaging app, however, reception may be poor when doing this.
You can also create a watch face to display information such as calls made and received, or messages sent and received.
Set up phone number
When you are on the go, you want to be able to quickly and easily set up a phone number for your Gear S2. This is a quick and easy way to have a secondary phone number attached to your Gear S2.
You do this through the Device menu, where you can create a new number or edit an existing one. Once that is done, you can attach a new cellular phone account or an existing wireless carrier account.
If you intend to use it for messaging and such, then go ahead and add that as well. You can also add email addresses if you intend to send notes and messages using your mobile device’s email app.
This function works on both your personal and work phones so that you can take the call on your device. You will need to provide your personal information for the call to go through however.
Set up carrier
When you want to make a call, you need to put the phone in a carrier. Most phones have a dedicated button or menu screen where you can do this.
If your phone does not have this feature, you can still make a call by putting the phone in your mouth and then pulling off the phone from inside of your mouth. You must do this quickly or the person on the other end will not be able to understand you.
You can also use a clear plastic bag as a carrier. Just make sure that there is no water or dirt on the bag so that it does not get wet when you pull it out of the device. If you want to use another type of cover for your phone, then provide sufficient space to allow for this.
Make sure that your phone is fully charged before trying to set up a new sim card or going into emergency mode.
Settings for best call quality
When you’re on the phone with someone, you want to make sure that your Gear S2 is set up for the best call quality. Here are some tips for doing this.
First, make sure that the Phone Tap feature is turned on. This feature allows you to pause and resume calls while talking, which is nice!
Second, make sure that the Call Style feature is set to Hard Call (rather than Soft Call). This makes it more clear when someone asks you a question, or if they answer first.
Last, make sure that the Loudness Feature is set to High enough so that people can hear you well, but not so loud that people can not hear another person.
Clear out some space on your device
If you are looking to upgrade your smartwatch capabilities, then you should consider adding a Bluetooth headset. Both the Gear S2 and the newer Gear V2 can be paired with a phone via Bluetooth, so you can make and receive calls on your wrist.
Adding a headset makes it more comprehensive as it provides access to music and audio controls, as well as giving you the ability to talk over your wrist. You can purchase a standard earbud or with an included microphone for additional noise protection while talking on your wrist.
The electronic devices that are available today offer many different features and sets of features. Some people may find that they do not need some of the extra features that others have because of their specific needs.
Make sure you have a good signal
When making a call, you need to have a good signal. If you do not have a signal when calling someone, they will not be able to hear you.
To make a call on your gear s2 device, you must be set up as a contact. You can then add another person to your contact list or send them an email or text message.
Once they accept the call on their end, then you can talk! You can ask what type of connection they have, if they have internet or internet access if they have phone service if there is audio and video quality and whether it is possible to see the person through the phone or speakerphone.
Many people use their S2s as cell phone devices that connect to the internet via bluetooth. If these people have internet access, then users can go online and check email, etc.
Answer the phone call on your watch
If you want to make a call on your watch but cannot due to out of range signals, then this is for you. There are apps that lets you answer the phone on your watch.
Applying for the app is how you make the call. Then, when the person on the other end answers, they can hear your voice and listen to what you are saying.
This is very helpful as it can determine if the person is who they say they are by looking at their face expression and tone of voice.
If they do not answer, then there are several ways to get their attention. The first is to send a message on your smart phone which they can receive with their device connected. The second is to try sending a text message but that may take some time due to how fast their phones respond.
The last one to try is calling them back but keep giving them different numbers so that they recognize your voice.
Hold the watch close to your face
When making a call, you can request the person you are talking to to come to the same place by holding the Gear S2 close to your face. This feature is useful when you are out and about and want someone to hear you well-composed voice message or walkie talkie call.
You can also use this while walking or while sitting, just hold the watch on your wrist. It works even when people are on their phones or computers nearby.
When talking, you can have a more natural volume level compared to using a phone or a headset. The Gear S2 has settings for earbuds and a speaker so you do not need an expensive setup.
The only downside is that this requires one handers as it needs to be held on the watch with the other hand.
