Help! Purchasing an Apple Watch Ultra

paddyator — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 16:03:09 GMT

Hi All,

apologies if this is a stupid question!

I am trying to pre-order an Apple Ultra 2 black. I have an existing iPhone on my EE account and this is the device I want to pair the watch to and share the cellular number.

The ordering check out process asks if I want to transfer my existing number to a new SIM or whether I want a new number. If I choose the first option it asks for a PAC code which sets alarms bells off as I want my existing iPhone number to stay the same, I just want the Apple Watch to share the number.

has anyone got any experience on what I should do to make sure I order it properly, do not lose my existing iPhone telephone number and have the new watch paired to the existing iPhone phone number?

thank you in advance!!!

@paddyator The ultra 2 is a celular and GPS watch, so not having a Sim for it would be a bit of a waste.

The Watch 10 is available with GPS only for a much lower cost, so if you don;t want a watch with its own number and Sim it would be a better option.
