Most smart watches don’t have a physical SIM card slot since that would be way too big. The software used to load an eSIM onto the watch often has a whitelist for carriers.
Another issue is that both the watch and the phone need to share a phone number if you want to leave your phone at home and answer calls and receive SMS on the watch. This isn’t standardized and only works with each watch’s supported carriers.
- pinephoneguy 5y agoThe solution to the SMS problem is to use VOIP. I personally very much like JMP.chat.
- NavinF 5y agoThat would be ideal, but VOIP numbers are blocked in many situations. Most 2fa providers and bank transaction verification comes to mind.
- pinephoneguy 5y ago>Most 2fa IME: banks and such are fine with it. Coinbase definitely works.
