Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you identify and fix the problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Outdated_Software\"><\/span>1. Outdated Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdated software on the Gizmo Watch can lead to various performance issues, including difficulties with making calls. Software updates often include bug fixes and improvements to enhance the device&#8217;s functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if software updates are needed, navigate to the watch&#8217;s settings menu and look for a &#8220;Software Update&#8221; or &#8220;Firmware Update&#8221; option. If available updates are pending, this may be the reason for call problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Install any available software updates. These updates are designed to address software-related issues and improve the overall performance of the watch, including call reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/how-to-turn-off-gizmo-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1199\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Turn Off Gizmo Watch?

Call restrictions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blocked numbers are contacts that have been intentionally restricted from calling the Gizmo Watch. If you attempt to call a blocked number, it will be rejected and may go directly to voicemail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine if this is the problem, review the list of blocked numbers in the watch&#8217;s settings. If the contact you&#8217;re trying to call is listed there, it means they have been blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To unblock a contact, remove them from the blocked numbers list in the watch&#8217;s settings. After doing so, you should be able to make calls to that contact without any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/gizmo-watch-not-counting-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1201\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Gizmo Watch Not Counting Steps? [Causes And Fixes]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Poor_Signal_Strength\"><\/span>3. Poor Signal Strength<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor signal strength occurs when the Gizmo Watch is not receiving a strong wireless signal from the cellular network. This can happen due to physical barriers, distance from cell towers, or network congestion. When signal strength is insufficient, the watch struggles to establish a reliable connection for making calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand if signal strength is the issue, check the signal indicator on the watch&#8217;s display. If it displays only one or two bars, or if it constantly fluctuates between no signal and a weak signal, this indicates poor signal strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address poor signal strength, try moving to an area with better reception, like near a window or outdoors. Avoid locations with heavy obstructions like concrete walls. If the signal problem persists, contact your wireless provider to inquire about network issues in your area or discuss signal booster options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/gizmo-watch-stuck-on-qr-code\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1203\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Is The Gizmo Watch Stuck On QR Code (What To Do?)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Airplane_Mode_Enabled\"><\/span>4. Airplane Mode Enabled<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Airplane Mode is a feature on the Gizmo Watch that disables all wireless communication functions, including making calls, to comply with flight regulations. If Airplane Mode is unintentionally enabled, it will prevent the watch from making calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if Airplane Mode is the cause, go to the watch&#8217;s settings menu. If Airplane Mode is turned on, it will disconnect all wireless connections and disable calling capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To resolve this issue, disable Airplane Mode by accessing the watch&#8217;s settings and toggling Airplane Mode off. Once it&#8217;s turned off, the watch should regain its calling functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/how-to-reset-a-gizmo-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1205\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Reset A Gizmo Watch?

The more we know about it, the better it will be for us. So let&#8217;s dig into some additional queries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_need_a_phone_to_use_Gizmo_Watch\"><\/span>Do you need a phone to use Gizmo Watch?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids don&#8217;t need phones to use their Gizmo Watch. It is the parents who need a phone to see every activity on the watch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Gizmo_Watch_work_worldwide\"><\/span>Does Gizmo Watch work worldwide?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, Gizmo Watch does not work worldwide. Gizmo Watch works under Verizon coverage, which is available in particular in your tries and areas. So you can&#8217;t expect to track your kid through this watch when you both will be in different countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_the_Gizmo_Watch_need_WiFi_to_work\"><\/span>Does the Gizmo Watch need WiFi to work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gizmo Watch works under Verizon&#8217;s coverage only; it doesn&#8217;t need any internet connection. The manufacturer didn&#8217;t add any access to this watch for the internet as it can distract kids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_the_Gizmo_Watch_work_with_Android_phones\"><\/span>Does the Gizmo Watch work with Android phones?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have an Android phone or iOS, both can be paired with the Gizmo Watch.

Don&#8217;t worry; these problems occur rarely with this device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see any such issues, check for updates and volume first. Then try resetting the watch. If none of the fixes work, seek help from Verizon Gizmo support. They will guide you and send another device if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/gizmo-watch-wont-turn-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1165\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7 Reasons Why Gizmo Watch Won\u2019t Turn On \u2013 How To Fix It?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communication is at the heart of what makes a Gizmo Watch so indispensable for both parents and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[392],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1207"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1225,"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207\/revisions\/1225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewatchfilter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
