How to Enable eSIM on Apple Watch
An eSIM is an electronic SIM that is built into the device, and it allows you to activate a cellular plan without the need for a physical SIM card. Apple Watch Series 3 and later models have eSIM support, and it allows you to make calls, send messages, and use cellular data without having to be near your iPhone. Here's how to enable eSIM on your Apple Watch.
Before you start, make sure that your Apple Watch is running watchOS 7 or later, and your iPhone is running iOS 14 or later. Also, confirm that your carrier supports eSIM on your Apple Watch.
Step 1: Set up your Apple Watch
If you are setting up a new Apple Watch, follow the on-screen instructions to set it up. If you already have an Apple Watch, make sure that it is paired with your iPhone, and both devices are updated to the latest software.
Step 2: Add a cellular plan to your Apple Watch
On your iPhone, go to the "Watch" app, and then tap "Cellular." If you don't see this option, make sure that your Apple Watch has cellular connectivity.
Next, tap "Add a new Plan," and then follow the on-screen instructions to add a new plan. If your carrier supports eSIM, you will be able to choose a plan, and activate it directly from your iPhone.
Step 3: Enable cellular on your Apple Watch
Once you have added a cellular plan to your Apple Watch, you need to enable cellular on the device. To do this, go to the "Control Center" on your Apple Watch, and then tap "Cellular." If you don't see this option, swipe up to access the Control Center.
Next, toggle the "Cellular" switch to the "On" position, and then wait for a few moments for your Apple Watch to activate the plan.
Step 4: Confirm that cellular is working
Once your Apple Watch has activated the plan, you can confirm that cellular is working by making a phone call, sending a message, or using cellular data. To make a phone call, open the "Phone" app on your Apple Watch, and then select a contact. To send a message, open the "Messages" app, and then type your message. To use cellular data, open any app that requires an internet connection.
If you are having trouble enabling eSIM on your Apple Watch, you may need to contact your carrier for assistance. Your carrier can help you troubleshoot any issues you may be encountering, and they can also help you activate the plan on your Apple Watch.
Conclusion
Enabling eSIM on your Apple Watch is a simple process, and it allows you to enjoy the benefits of cellular connectivity on your wrist. With eSIM, you can make calls, send messages, and use cellular data without having to be near your iPhone. Just follow the steps outlined above, and you will have eSIM enabled on your Apple Watch in no time.
