Apple Watch SE with GPS & Cellular

I am looking to purchase my 10 year old daughter an Apple Watch SE that comes with the Cellular option for the Family sharing. It states she would get her own phone number, but is that managed thru our cell phone carrier and would have a monthly fee for that service, or is that just running thru the internet and just comes as part of the watch?

Family setup no longer available in Australia - Truphone not taking more customers I bought my daughter an apple watch so we could contact her without needing to get her a phone. We specifically chose the apple watch so we could control contacts etc We bought one for our son about a year earlier and it works well. However, this is no longer an option as Truphone (the sole provider in AU) is no longer taking new customers. As a result family setup isnt working in AU. We returned the watch and apple gave us a refund. Apple have not updated their website and Ive tried emailing and calling no no avail. My question is this - Does anyone know if Apple is working on finding an alternative MVNO or carrier for this service? Im still keen to get one for my daughter, but if no fix is coming then I'll just move on. It would be good if Apple would change its website or at least acknowledge my complaint.. If anyone has any insight be great to hear. cheers

can you install spotify app on watch using the family member setup i set up a watch for my daughter (who doesn't) have an iphone using the "family member setup" process with my iphone. The process is described here Set up Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support. My question is - which apps can be downloaded on her watch? Spotify is #1 on her list. If we try directly on the watch, it says "iphone required". from my iphone, I couldn't find any option either. Thanks,

Apple Watch Cellular vs. GPS I am currently looking to purchase the series 7 apple watch. This is going to be my first ever apple watch. I am just stuck on which one to get, I want the GPS one as I don't have the money to pay extra monthly for cellular. BUT I was wondering.. I always have my phone with me so would I still be able to make calls or send messages through the watch when my phone is with me? Like what are the differences between the 2 watches when my phone is always with me? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
