Apple Watch has its own phone number, which is different from the phone number of the iPhone you set it up with. Each carrier calls it something different. For example, AT&T calls it an iPhone, Verizon calls it an iPhone, and T-Mobile calls it a Watch.
Before we start
Apple watches have the same phone number as iPhones. This means that you can use the same number for both devices.
Why Does My Apple Watch Have a Different Phone Number Than My Iphone
When you get a new Apple Watch, it will have a different phone number than your iPhone. The Apple Watch uses NumberShare to link your iPhone with the watch for calls and texts. The watch will technically have it’s own line and number, but will not be able to receive text messages on that line. It can only receive messages from the main NumberShare line.
Does Apple Watch With Cellular Require Separate Phone Number
Apple Watch models with cellular require a separate phone number in order to function properly. The required phone number is shared between the Apple Watch and the iPhone, allowing the Apple Watch to access cellular service and make and receive calls. If the user decides they do not want the cellular service activated or do not want the phone number shared with the Apple Watch, the Apple Watch will operate just like a model without cellular service.
Does an Apple Watch Get a Phone Number
Apple Watch does not have the same phone number as an iPhone. If you have an Apple Watch with GPS and Cellular, your watch will have its own phone number for billing purposes only. You can find the number on your watch or on the Apple Watch app. If you call the number, you will be billed according to your watch’s plan.
Can You Change Apple Watch Phone Number
I have an Apple Watch. I can change the phone number that is associated with my account. I can do this by opening the Settings app on my Apple Watch and tapping [my user name]. Then, I can tap Name, Phone Numbers, Email, and finally, I can edit my name, write a new email address, or change my phone number.
