T-Mobile Digits will enable Gear S3 owners to use their primary phone number on the smartwatch

It has been over a year since AT&T launched its NumberSync feature which enables subscribers to access their primary phone number across multiple devices. NumberSync supports the Gear S2 and the Gear S3 so users can remain connected even if they leave their smartphone behind. T-Mobile has now announced a similar service called Digits. It takes things up a notch by not only allowing users to access their primary number on multiple devices but also allowing them to access multiple numbers on a single device. T-Mobile Digits will support cellular models of the Gear S2 and the Gear S3.

Digits has been launched as an invite-only beta right now and it will be opened to all subscribers early next year. It's currently available as an app on other platforms but joint development between T-Mobile and Samsung brings Digits support straight into the dialer app of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S7 series as well as the Galaxy Note 5. Users only need to launch the dialer app and pick the number they want to use if they're relying on Digits to use multiple numbers on a single device.
