Roaming with cellular Apple Watch

[StuMcBill1]

Hi,

I've got a cellular Apple Watch linked to my iPhone on my EE account.  I have EU roaming included in my account and I wondered how this would be handled on my Apple Watch?

I don't plan on being separated from my phone when I'm away (so will be connected via bluetooth), but just wondered if I could utilise my cellular Apple Watch, and if it would be included in my current tarrif?

If so / if not, is there anything I need to do on my phone / watch before travelling?

Thanks.

@StuMcBill1 roaming  being enabled is on the line it’s enabled for it is not the account being global for all lines on the account. Your Apple Watch doesn’t have the ability to roam so we will use a Bluetooth connection to your phone. 

Just check roaming is enabled for your phone by texting roaming to 150.  That’s it.

Vodafone and Three support roaming on cellular Apple Watches. When will EE support this feature as well?

Welcome to the Community, @PaulH99 😊

At the moment, we don't have any immediate plans to introduce roaming for Apple Watch plans. 

If this were to change though, we'd be sure to let customers know. 

Roaming is still available for phones too, so any watch in Bluetooth range could still receive calls and notifications.

I didn't think any UK carrier supported roaming on Apple Watch yet?

I think you’re right.   I also think that operators should start thinking about what their customers might want rather than the bottom line.
