Solved: Buying an Apple Watch

TWHBHA · ‎14-07-2019

Hi!

I have an iPhone 7 supplied by my work but I want to buy an Apple Watch. When I go to checkout on the o2 website it says I need a pay monthly account to connect my watch to.

I have a personal pay monthly account for my iPad but not for a phone.

Is there any way I can get round this? Like buying a sim only plan as well?

Also if I were to do this would I be able to connect an iPhone on a business plan to a personal Apple Watch?

@TWHBHA Apple watch isn't compatible with a business tariff I'm afraid.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

I'm not an Apple person, but I find it incredibly unimaginative, and a total lack of business sense for O2 not to have the Apple Watch compatible for business tariffs. What could the reason, other than utter stupidity be?

Hey @TWHBHA, @MI5 and @Bambino

Apple Watch Cellular isn't available to our Business customers at this time, as the eSim technology and Watch device companion capability isn't currently compatible with our Business platforms.

If or when anything changes, of course, we'll let our business customers know - and if you have any other questions @TWHBHA, please give us a shout!
