Adding an Apple Watch to plan

Bill778 — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 20:31:46 GMT

I’m trying to add an Apple Watch to a sim only plan. I’ve selected a plan that uses the same number as my phone, however on checkout I need to either transfer my number to the new sim (with a pac code) or get a new number (and lose my existing number)

Which option do I select, do I need to transfer my number number with a pac code but will this affect my existing number/plan at all?

Hi @Bill778

Thanks for coming here.

Do you have the Apple Watch already and need to add a data plan to use a cellular connection?

@Bill778 At check out select the other option, with what you are selecting it thinks that you want to transfer a number to EE from a different network. Trust me, I was confused by this when I first did this then I realised what I was actually doing. The wording is very poor on the online form, You are not transferring a number to EE.

@Leanne_T I have a sim only contract and I’m looking at adding an Apple Watch to my existing plan (purchasing the watch through ee), it’s when I go to check out and this screen displays

Do I have to select the ‘get a new number option’, and if I do that will my watch still have the same number as my phone?

@Chris_B perfect thank you, and if I select ‘get a new number’ do you know if my watch will then have the same number as my phone?

Hi @Bill778

If you select 'Get a new number' this will be used for billing and when setting up the watch with your iPhone the watch will connect to the existing number 🙂

@Bill778 Yes it will as it’s linked at account level, The watch will use your iPhone number for calls/texts. The watch will have its own number for billing and the data allowance that the watch has. You also want a personal plan.

Hi @Gooner64,

Welcome to the EE Community

What is it you are looking to do, are you trying to add an Apple Watch to your existing Pay monthly mobile account?

If you are looking to take a watch and wanting the phone and watch to share a number it would be a personal paired plan you select for the watch. You don't need a new SIM or PAC code for a watch contract. The watch comes with an inbuilt eSIM and it will share the number of the mobile it is paired with.
