Hello

I have an existing airtime contract for my phone.

 

I want to buy an Apple Watch which comes with its own airtime contract.

 

If, for business reasons, I move my iphone airtime to sky in the future, does this affect my Apple Watch and its contract.

 

i.e. just because I cancel my phone airtime contract, would I need to repay the whole of my Apple Watch device contract or does that remain independent as it has its own airtime contract.

 

Thanks

You would need to cancel both as your apple watch contract is linked to your iPhone contract.

Many thanks for the feedback. If it is linked to my phone, why is there a need to buy its own airtime plan. The phone will remain the same (and was paid off a year ago) it is only the phones airtime plan I would be moving.

 

Thanks

Because that's the rules that O2 have set.
Does it make sense is a different question?
Does my contract expire at the same time as my iPhone?
Unless you bought your iPhone and Apple Watch from O2 at the same time, it’s unlikely that your contracts will expire at the same time.

If you’ve paid off your iPhone Device Plan and want to cancel your iPhone Airtime Plan, you’ll need to pay off any outstanding balance on your Watch Device Plan.

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.

Thes are also Apple rules :

"Make sure that you have an eligible mobile data plan with a supported network provider. Your iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same network provider,* and you must be within your provider’s network when you set up cellular on your watch.
