Cellular Apple Watch - Plan options

[Nexus-six]

Hi

Please can someone give details of any plan options to pair an Iphone to a cellular Apple watch that was not purchased from EE or supplied by  EE on a  pay monthly plan. The Iphone that it will be paired to is on a basic pay monthly SIM only contract. 

I have spoken to EE direct and was told that you can only pair a watch to a phone that has been supplied by  EE i.e via a pay monthly plan.  Is this correct  ? 

thanks

Hello @Nexus-six ,

Welcome to the community,

You need to use the Apple Watch app on the phone to pair your Apple Watch and it will then ask whether you want a cellular data and you say yes, as you would want data, I presume, you should find all the details how to set it up on your phone under the tips app on your phone.

@Nexus-six   The watch contract will cost £7 per month and you’ll get 10Gb of data for the watch. Any calls or text via the watch will come from your Sim only allowance.

Great, thanks Chris.

Do you know if I will  I need to phone up EE to  activate this service or can I do it through the watch app when I am pairing it with the Iphone.

thanks

@Nexus-six , you do this when pairing this with the watch app on the iPhone.
