As per the report Samsung will sell the watch in two versions of which one (SM-R720) will support WiFi connectivity and the other (SM-R730) that has 3G and calling support. The 3G model will be available at several carriers or unlocked.  The Gear A is said to be available all four major U.S. carriers, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.
