Hi, I want to set up my new o2 Apple Watch for my son to use using my iPhone/o2 account since he doesn’t have his own phone. How do I do this? Thanks

Would I be able to get a sim only as a second number on one iPhone or do I need to buy another iPhone and sim for the watch to be attached to?

You can take out a sim only plan so that your son has a number, but you would also need to have a £5 per month deal for the watch to work independently of the phone @K-C1

Thank you for replying. If I buy a esim and a separate data plan for the Watch, do I still set the Watch up as family sharing (for a child) or just the way and adult would set their Watch up?

I would imagine the way an adult would @K-C1 , but I'm no expert in Apple and their devices.
Any recommendations @MI5 ?

According to Emma family sharing isn't supported on O2 so the new sim would have to take over the control of the watch too.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Maybe 02 shouldn't advertise Apple Watch Family Sharing if its not a feature they actually offer. That's terribly misleading and very disappointing. Half way down this page you're clearly promoting family sharing on your website.

Hi Emma is it possible to set the watch up on a esim without an iPhone or does it need to be linked?
