How can I add a phone number from an Apple Watch to an iPhone?

Is it possible/recommended to add the phone number from my Apple Watch to a new unlocked iPhone? Is there anything, technical or otherwise to be aware of before doing this? Both the phone and the watch are on the AT&T network.

Hey there,


Yes, you can add your Apple Watch’s number to a new unlocked iPhone. Just unpair the Watch from the old iPhone, set up the new iPhone (preferably from a backup), and use the Watch app to transfer the cellular plan. Make sure AT&T supports the transfer to avoid billing issues.
