https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Apple/iWatch-receiving-texts-non-iMessages/m-p/1428647#M166859 <P>I have recently setup an iWatch 6 with O2. My current iPhone Xs is using an eSIM. For some strange reason my watch cannot receive standard text messages. iMessages appear to come across without a problem. I realise these are linked to iCloud and work in a different way to normal texts. I have read others having similiar issues, however after doing a Live chat with O2 I don't think I have missed anything. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had the same problem and managed to solve it?</P> Sun, 10 Jan 2021 11:05:48 GMT rob4465 2021-01-10T11:05:48Z https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Apple/iWatch-receiving-texts-non-iMessages/m-p/1428647#M166859 <P>I have recently setup an iWatch 6 with O2.
