Bypass Samsung Galaxy Watch eSIM Region Lock (Watch 4, 5, 6, 7)

Understanding eSIM Region Locks

• 💡 The video addresses the issue of eSIM region locks on Samsung Galaxy Watches, preventing activation of international plans in unsupported regions.
• ⚠️ This commonly occurs when a watch purchased in one region is used with an eSIM from another, resulting in a "no plans available" message.

Accessing Hidden Menus for Activation

• 🛠️ To bypass the lock, users must first pair their watch with their phone and open the Galaxy Wearable app.
• ⚙️ Navigate to the watch's settings, then to "Mobile Plans," and then back to the main app screen to access device options.
• 👆 Tap the "more options" icon, go to "Settings," then "About Galaxy Wearable," and repeatedly tap the "Galaxy Wearable" text to reveal a hidden debug menu.
• 🧪 Within the hidden menu, select "Module Test," then "eSIM Test," and finally enable "QR Test Mode".

Installing the eSIM

• 📲 After enabling QR Test Mode, return to the "Mobile Plans" section in the Galaxy Wearable app, which will now allow scanning of an eSIM QR code.
• 📄 Scan the provided QR code and enter the eSIM PIN to install the plan.
• ✅ Once setup is complete, confirm the plan installation.

Troubleshooting Network Reception

• 📶 If the watch shows no network reception after eSIM activation, access the watch's dialer.
• 📞 Enter the code *#2263# to open a service menu.
• 🚫 In this menu, select "Band Disable," then "LTE," and uncheck all LTE bands to disable them.
• 🌍 Re-enter the service code (*#2263#), select "Band Selection," then "LTE," and manually choose an LTE band supported by your carrier.
• 📶 Finally, re-enable the mobile plan on the watch and disable Wi-Fi and power saving modes to test network reception.
