I hope not. I'm paying for access to the network via a phone number. This remains unchanged when I use my watch. Anyone have a different perspective?

- Jarwain 9y agoI feel like the core question/goal/ideal is to have two sim chips linked to the same number, so that requests (such as phone calls/texts) are cloned and sent to both devices. I'd think that'd require some reconfiguration on their backend service though. I'm not too familiar with how telecoms work.
- mrpippy 9y agoLinking to the same number happens at the iCloud level. Apple already has hooks in place with carriers to enable "Wi-Fi Calling on iCloud-connected devices", so an iPad/Mac can make/answer calls from the cellular number of an iCloud-linked iPhone (without going through the iPhone at all). The LTE Apple Watch is just another device like that. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203032 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203032
- lathiat 9y agoThat was for Wi-Fi calling though The new Apple Watch will have it's own actual cellular connection
- saagarjha 9y agoWell, it gives them an excuse for them to charge you extra. I really don't think it's something that's too complicated to set up.
