Hi I know this is an old post - but hope you can help.
How do you go about doing this? I have an EE sim for childs watch (on a family plan) and now have a phone for them too - Im looking to have the same tel number for both - how do I do this?
Many thanks for your help.

Post moved to a new thread, rather than tacking onto an outdated one.
One mobile number can only be active on one SIM at a time. Orange used to offer a "single number" facility which used various technical workarounds to achieve a similar end result, but nothing is available now.
Each EE phone has its own subscription, be it PAYG or pay-monthly. Each EE line on a consumer pay-monthly account benefits from data sharing between each other.

Sorry about that and thankyou for moving the post to the correct place.
So to be clear this is not possible? I understand it will have two sims and two numbers for billing/operational purposes but can the two be linked so only 1 number is actually used for calling out/in so phone and watch ring at same time?

What you've described isn't a million miles from how OUK's Single Number worked.
But no - not possible now. One number per SIM, one SIM per number. Two devices = two SIMs with a subscription each.

@SDD , the watch sim number is only for accounts purposes, but if you have the phone number, the watch will automatically use that number when ringing, so when you make a call, it will ring the watch as well, the sim for the watch is not used for making calls, but the phone number from the phone is used to make calls, if that makes sense, so yes one number is actually used for making calls in and out so both the watch and phone will ring at the same time.
