Solved: Samsung Watch 4

Mac75cam · ‎04-09-2021

I've ordered the new Samsung watch 4 and been sent a confirmation email which details a new phone number. I'm concerned this will change my handset phone number too (so they can work together?) but I want to retain my old phone number which I've had for over a decade. Don't want to go through the faff of having a new phone number for my handset.

Can anyone advise?

All smartwatches use embedded eSIm which has to have a different number.

When correctly setup, the watch will replicate calls and texts from your phone number.
