Set up NumberSync for wearables

Choose your messaging application

If you don’t already have an AT&T cloud inbox, we’ll create one for you as part of the NumberSync^SM setup. The inbox syncs messages between your smartphone and smartwatch.

For the best NumberSync experience, select AT&T Messages Backup & Sync as the default messaging application on your smartphone. Here’s how:

1. Go to Messages.
2. Tap More, then Settings, and finally AT&T Messages Backup & Sync.
3. Select Turn it on if it’s not already enabled. We’ll send you a confirmation text.

Good to know

• Setup steps may vary slightly by smartphone manufacturer.
• Make sure you set up AT&T Messages Backup & Sync (cloud inbox) for your smartphone number—not your smartwatch number.

Check app installation on your wearable

For Samsung^® wearables:

• See if the Samsung Galaxy Wearable is pre-installed on your phone. Go to Apps, then Samsung if applicable, and then Samsung Galaxy Wearable. 
• Don’t have the app? Download and install it. The Galaxy Wearable app is also available for non-Samsung smartphones running Android^® 5.0 and up.  
• You can set up your Samsung account with Samsung Galaxy Wearable. You don’t have to have a Samsung account to activate NumberSync for your smartwatch.

For LG wearables:
