I have an apple watch that is currently paired to my dad’s phone, but I want to switch it to mine. My phone doesn’t have a sim card, so i want to know if I would still be able to text, call, and use all the options needing cellular on my apple watch using its own cellular, even though the phone doesn’t have cellular.
iPhone 11 Pro
Greetings HimothyRizzler,
Cellular service is needed on your iPhone to set up and use cellular service with Apple Watch. Check out the requirements for setting up cellular service for Apple Watch in the following article:
Set up cellular on Apple Watch - Apple Support
Before you start
* Make sure that you have the latest software on your iPhone and your Apple Watch.
* Check for updates to your carrier settings.
* Make sure that you have an eligible cellular service plan with a supported carrier. Your iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same carrier,* and you must be within your carrier's network when you set up cellular on your watch.
* If you have an enterprise or corporate cellular service plan, check with your company or carrier to see if they support this feature. Pre-paid accounts and some older accounts aren’t currently supported. To make sure that your account is eligible, contact your carrier.
* An Apple Watch that you set up for a family member can use a different carrier than your iPhone uses.
Kind regards.
