Apple Watch with Cellular has its own Number
Family Setup allows you to use your iPhone to set up an Apple Watch for kids or older adults in your household. The watch can then be used with its own phone number and account. This means that the watch can be used without having to connect to your iPhone. This is great for kids who want to use their own phone number and account, and parents who want to keep track of their kids’ activities without having to constantly carry their phone.
Let’s get started
Apple watches have cellular capabilities, allowing them to connect to cellular networks. Some people may want to use their watch to stay connected while on the go, while others may use it to receive calls and messages. If you want to use your watch with a cellular network, you will need to buy a phone plan from a carrier and add the watch to your account.
Does Cellular Apple Watch Have Same Number as Phone
Cellular Apple Watches and iPhones have different phone numbers. When you set up your cellular Apple Watch, it takes on the identity of the phone number that you assign it. For example, if you set it up with a number from Sprint, then when you make a call on the cellular Apple Watch, it will use the Sprint phone number. If you set it up with a number from Verizon, then when you make a call on the cellular Apple Watch, it will use the Verizon phone number. Each carrier calls it something different.
Why Does My Apple Watch Have Its Own Phone Number
Your Apple Watch has its own phone number because it has a built-in GPS and Cellular chip. This means that the watch can be used as a standalone phone, and it will have its own separate phone number that you can use for billing purposes only. If you want to use the watch to make calls, you will need to use your iPhone to do so. If you attempt to call the watch’s phone number, you will get a recording that says the number is not in service.
How Does Apple Watch Cellular Work
When you’re wearing your Apple Watch, it can automatically connect to the most power-efficient wireless available: your iPhone when it’s nearby, a Wi-Fi network, or cellular. When your watch connects to cellular, it uses LTE networks. This way, your watch can stay connected even when there’s not a good signal available on other networks.
