0:12
are hello this is Mr
0:15
Mobility what is a Bluetooth calling
0:18
Smartwatch there are different types of
0:20
smart watches in terms of capabilities
0:23
for making telephone calls there are two
0:25
categories of smart watches there are
0:28
Bluetooth calling smart watches
0:30
and there are LTE SmartWatches an LTE
0:34
Smartwatch is one that has a SIM
0:38
integrated whether it's a physical Sim
0:40
or it's an eim it has a SIM integrated
0:44
to which a number is assigned so that
0:46
you can make telephone calls on that
0:49
number on that line it's a separate
0:54
telephone line from what obtains on your
0:58
smartphone a calling Smartwatch on the
1:02
other hand is a smartwatch that does not
1:04
have a SIM card integrated into it it
1:08
does not have a same capability at all
1:12
whether it's a physical SIM card or an
1:14
eim instead you can make telephone calls
1:18
on it by pairing it with your
1:22
smartphone so that when you have an
1:25
incoming call on your number your
1:28
regular number the one in your
1:30
smartphone that call appears on your
1:34
Smartwatch and you can take it and speak
1:39
right on your Smartwatch and also end
1:42
the call you can also initiate telephone
1:45
calls on your primary line the one in
1:48
your smartphone through that Smartwatch
1:51
those are the differences between a
1:54
Bluetooth calling Smartwatch and an LTE
1:57
Smartwatch the beauty of having the
2:00
Bluetooth calling Smartwatch is that you
2:02
do not need a second telephone number
2:04
the same telephone number that you have
2:06
been using on your phone is what you are
2:08
able to access on your Bluetooth calling
2:12
Smartwatch a wireless Bluetooth
2:14
connection is what pairs your phone to
2:17
that watch and keeps the phone calls
2:21
coming what are the advantages the
2:22
advantages one you don't need a second
2:24
line two you do not need to pick up your
2:26
phone to see who is calling a call
2:28
begins to come in all you have to do is
2:31
look at your hand you know James Bond
2:33
style to see who's calling and whether
2:36
to pick or
2:37
Not Another Advantage is that because
2:41
all it requires is a Bluetooth
2:43
connection between itself and your phone
2:46
battery life tends to be longer than on
2:50
LTE smartw watches that have their own
2:52
SIM cards and are connecting directly to
2:55
the mobile network or to your carriers
2:57
wireless network on a 4G LTE connection
3:01
so battery drain is bigger on an LTE
3:05
Smartwatch than on the Bluetooth calling
3:08
Smartwatch are there any other big
3:11
advantages the main advantage is that
3:14
convenience of being able to scream and
3:17
manage your calls without having to pick
3:19
up your phone of course as a
3:22
disadvantage it can also be intrusive if
3:24
you don't want to pick your phone just
3:25
put it on silent and drop it in your bag
3:27
or leave it on the table but having to
3:30
do this every time uh a telephone call
3:33
comes in especially if you're in a
3:34
company of people can be intrusive or if
3:37
you are busy it can be intrusive if
3:40
you're in company of people it can also
3:41
even be considered rude you know you
3:45
you're talking with somebody at a dinner
3:47
a lunch or whatever and then you keep
3:48
doing this you go like oh do you have an
3:50
appointment so that's something to think
3:53
about if you are considering getting a
3:55
Bluetooth calling Smartwatch personally
3:57
I'd rather not take calls on my
4:01
SmartWatch also
4:03
because it's there are also privacy
4:06
concerns right I'd rather have a
4:08
Bluetooth earb for my calls I can I'm
4:12
the only person who can listen to what
4:14
the caller is saying but if I have
4:16
people around me and I take a call on
4:18
this the call comes out through a louds
4:21
speaker and everybody around me gets to
4:25
listen to the conversation ah not so
4:28
good for privacy that that's what I'd
4:30
say so really I'd just rather have but
4:36
yes it is better to have the feature and
4:39
disable
4:40
it so that the day you do need it you
4:42
can use it so for example my watch it's
4:45
a Bluetooth calling Smartwatch but I
4:47
have disabled that feature the
4:49
disturbances got too much every time my
4:51
phone is ringing you know I drop it on
4:53
the table somewhere and it's ringing you
4:55
know this starts vibrating and then you
4:57
know it just became a little bit too
4:59
much for me so I dropped it but we're
5:01
all different people have different
5:03
needs depending on your needs a
5:05
Bluetooth calling Smartwatch might be
5:08
exactly what you want to get and if it
5:11
is so please go ahead and get it how do
5:15
you pair your or how do you connect your
5:19
Bluetooth calling smartwatch to your
5:20
phone you pick up your phone open the
5:23
Bluetooth menu you see the list of
5:25
available devices you should see your
5:27
Smartwatch there tap on it it will pair
5:30
it might ask you for a pin enter the pin
5:32
it pairs it then you come into the
5:35
settings here to
5:39
enable that phone option right there
5:42
right you tap on it to toggle it when it
5:45
turns green when the toggle turns green
5:48
you your Bluetooth calling is enabled
5:51
and from that point on any call that
5:53
comes in will also ring on your phone
5:55

5:56
sorry will also ring on your smart SM

7:13
Brands as well most of their latest
7:15
models except for the most basic will
7:17
support Bluetooth calling Bluetooth
7:19
calling is such a basic feature now it's
7:21
not rocket science it's such a basic
7:23
feature now that most smart watches
7:26
actually support it what is more rare
7:30
are LTE smart watches smart watches that
7:33
have uh that you can use a Sim on the
7:36
inside are becoming more and more rare
7:40
than used to be I remember in the early
7:43
days of smart watches I owned one and
7:45
the battery would drain terribly fast I
7:48
never I never went back to them but
7:50
again if you need to carry two lines
7:52
around around with you without carrying
7:55
multiple phones of course they are duim
7:57
phones or you need to carry three lines
7:59
of
8:01
lines you all the time one of the ways
8:04
you can carry one of those lines is an
8:06
LTE Smartwatch that if you just want
8:09
convenience you want to be able to
8:12
manage phone calls directly on your
8:14
Smartwatch without picking up your phone
8:16
then a Bluetooth calling Smartwatch is
8:19
exactly what you
8:21
need okay I hope I have been able to
8:23
explain it a Bluetooth calling
8:25
Smartwatch is simply a smartwatch that
8:28
pairs with your phone to our allow you
8:30
to make and receive calls on the
