Samsung watch contract

[Alex498]

I am looking on the EE app at addkng a Samsung smart watch 8 onto my current contract. At checkout after selecting my options, it asks me if I want to keep my current number or get a new number. I'm only trying to get a watch now a new contract. I just want the watch to sync with my phone so I don't want a new number, and when selecting keep same number it wants me to give a PAC code which I thought was for when swapping providers. If I select keep new number and get the PAC code will it not mess around with my current EE contract/ phone number? I understand the watch needs a separate eSim for whatever reasons but I thought that if I got the PAC code it would signal me leaving EE. Am I overthinking this or what?  I've attached an image to show my options I'm presented with.

Just select the I want a new number option. Will have a different number for billing purpose but will link to your mobile number

So even if the watch has a different number in the eSim, I can still use it together with my phone and it will sync all my calls/texts to the watch?

Hi @Alex498,

Welcome to the EE Community

Yes that is correct as mentioned the number for the watch in this case will just be for billing purposes, the watch gets linked to your actual mobile number during the pairing process.

So just do as @garybs29 recommended, select the new number option when ordering and it will be assigned a new random number for billing, but then when you pair it with your phone it will sync with your mobile number for calls and texts.
