Apple Watch international travel

I use an eSIM in my iPhone, so that when I travel overseas, I can easily insert a cheap temporary SIM, in the iPhone, for the duration of my travel.

My Apple Watch is setup to use the same number that the iPhone eSIM has.

When I travel Overseas, am I able to align my Apple Watch to use the temporary SIM phone number?

Dual SIM WatchOS 9 - no badge to distinguish which cellular line is called Hi, When I receive calls on my iPhone with DUAL SIM a little badge (in my case "P" for private and "B" for business) is shown that tells me which cellular line is called. Until WatchOS 9 this badge was shown on the Apple Watch as well... Since my upgrade on WatchOS 9 (and even with my upgrade to the Series 8) this badge is not shown. The Apple Watch Guide says the following: How Apple Watch receives calls when using multiple cellular plans When Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone: You can receive calls from both lines. Your watch shows a badge that tells you which cellular line you received a notification from—H for Home, and W for Work, for example. If you respond to a call, your watch automatically responds from the line that received the call. I already reset my Apple Watch and set it up as a new watch. I resetted my phone settings as well but nothing changed iPhone 11 Pro iOS 16.1 / Apple Watch Series 8 WatchOs 9.1 Does anyone know how to fix this?

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
