Do I need separate plan and SIM for Apple Watch 6 cellular?

[rosak]

I'm planning to switch to EE and I've chosen 5G SIM Plan for my iPhone.

I just ordered Apple Watch 6 cellular, do I need separate plan/sim for watch or does it use the same plan as my iPhone?

Thank you.

Hi @rosak

Welcome to the community. 🙂

Where did you order your Apple Watch Series 6 from?

Currys. Does it matter?

It does, as since you bought it from a retailer, you will only get 10GB of data, instead of unlimited which is what you get if you had bought it from EE.

I bought it from Apple and found out about it today... In any case, you don't need a separate SIM. When you will go to Mobile Data option in the Watch app, you will have to login to your EE account and set it up. It's very easy.

Hi @rosak

Thanks for coming back to us. 

If you purchase 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.

For help on getting set up, please see our How do I pair my Apple Watch with my iPhone? article, section 6b. I purchased my Apple Watch from Apple or another retailer, has the steps you will need 🙂

Thanks 🙂

Leanne.
