Best esim network for smartwatch

[shellybel]

I'm looking a good esim network for a galaxy smartwatch 7 lte that will let me have texts calls and data. Can you even get that?

I believe three and O2 offer an esim watch service. Your phone and watch get the same phone number and everything links nicely. There might be other providers too.

My provider doesn't support esim so I'm not able to get my watch with the same phone number

Fully dependent on your area. The very first thing to do is check coverage in your area.

Personally, I'm a fan of EE.

Thank you il have a look I'm with o2 at the moment but I was told there is a provider that gives u calls, messages and data, o2 only have one that's just data

[shellybel]

I'm from ballymena area so I'm not sure I've only ever been with o2, but they only have the esim for data

[johnz237]

I would double-check, but I believe we allow for both.... I would speak to an adviser to be sure

Just had a look and yeah. O2 give apple watches calls and texts but not samsung. Three's smartwatch pairing plan seems to offer calls and texts for samsung devices. Though you'd need to swap from o2 to them, and that'll be annoying

I think il have to call into one of the stores cause u don't really get anywhere online it's just as quick as they can get u to go

Thank u, I know samsung said I wouldn't have to change provider with my watch that I'd still be able to pair both up just like if they had same network, should of looked into all this before I bought this watch lol

Getting data on it is simple. If someone calls your phone, it should connect to your watch through data, acting as if the watch is making the call. (This is if your phone is away). But to get the watch to actually make the call without the phone at all, you need a special cell plan with 1 number being shared. My watch ultra will go never having a sim in it due to how much of a pain it is to swap providers
