Smartwatch/Phone

Stretch — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 19:54:18 GMT

Hi clever people, i have a Smartwatch/Phone and i was wondering if i can get a second sim, with the same number as the Main one, so i can put this in my watch. I can then leave my phone at home if i wish?

I'm a member of various forums for people with these watches, and i know a lot of those guys are doing just this, but i don't think any of them are in the UK, any ideas please.

Thanks

@Stretch You cannot have two sims with the same number.

I don't know which other networks would allow this?

If you try it here then one of the devices would lose connection.

O2-DE allow it and we did try here to get O2-UK to do it too, but they said there was no call for it (which really means we have no intention of offering it).

Thanks for that info. I had no idea O2-DE allowed it.

Thanks for confirming i'm not going mad !!

i've been on the Android Watch forum again and a couple of people in europe are doing it (don't know if Germany or not) and it seems at&t or t mobile in the US of A are also doing it (possibly via an app?)

It's a shame we can't get it in the UK, i don't want to have to remove my sim from my phone and put it in the watch every time ! Cheers

You could go for the cheapest sim only tariff and just forward your phone to it.

Easier that swapping sims.
