Apple Watch S5 adding to O2 Plan

[Han]

Hi guys, I’m thinking of switching over to O2 as Three don’t offer any data plans for the Apple Watch.

I already own a Apple Watch S5 that I bought direct from Apple.

I’ve seen a sim only deal with O2 that suits be its 10GB for £10 per month on uSwitch.

So what I wanted to know is can I add my existing Apple Watch to my O2 contract?

And if so how much extra per month does it cost?

Thank you

@Han 

Yes you can.

It's £5 per month for the watch data plan.

Thanks, when I called them yesterday honestly sounded like they had no clue. Lady on phone told me I needed to call a physical store as they are the only ones who can do. Called them and they said I would need to buy a watch from them! Gave up after that lol

Make sure your SIM plan has the iPhone data bolt on, so that the watch can be connected to it. So if you haven't got it already tell them it is going into an iphone

I guess that is through the app on the watch rather than ringing O2?

@O2Tracey

So when I sign up for new contract with o2 make sure they know it’s for a iPhone?

[O2Tracey]

Yes, otherwise you will have issues connecting the watch. Hope this helps

Yes @Han 

Just follow the setup routine on the watch and ensure O2 have enabled iData on your phone account.
