Deborah's tutorials is second to none...the voice is so clear, step by step, detailed explanations and very good grammar. You've helped me a lot. I purchased a one year subscription from Simon sez, thinking you will be doing the tutorials. Very very disappointed it wasn't you.That's not fair! The tutors on the subscription aren't as good as you.I have to come back to you tube for more tutorials from you. Thank you Deborah.

Hi,

It was a very helpful video! I learned a lot after watching it. I think you do a great job with these tutorials, and I am sure many people will find it helpful. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to set up 4G voice calling on the Galaxy watch. The newer version support voice calling via e-sim and many of my friends are having trouble setting it up. It was a bit complicated, and I think many people will appreciate a tutorial on the process.
