Apple Watch Series 6

Gbarlowsfs — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 06:36:37 GMT

i currently have an Apple 8 plus on a SIM only contract and gift data to my wife and daughter who also have apple iPhones. I’ve bought an Apple Watch series 6 and want to be able to use the cellular facility of the watch. Will I simply need to purchase a seperate esim contract for my watch and will it have a different number or could I somehow pair it to my existing phone?

Hi @Gbarlowsfs

Thanks for coming to the community.

If you have purchased an Apple Watch from a third-party retailer you will need a 30-day smartwatch plan to use cellular, this is £7.00 per month with 10GB of data, you can pair the Apple Watch to your iPhone to use the same number.

Please see our How do I pair my Apple Watch with my iPhone, post for help getting set up 🙂

Hope this helps.

Leanne.

I’ve tried exactly that Leanne but your site is saying I can’t do it and it’s quoting a code of 007 and asking me to call 150 which I’d rather avoid if at all possible.
