Esim query for iPhone/watch/ipad

[Dank1984]

Hello all,

I’ve got the following devices: iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro and Apple Watch Series 7, all of which have Esim capability. I’ve tried to do some research but I’m really confused about Esim and I’m not sure it offers what I need - I was hoping someone here could kindly offer some clarification!

I would like to have cellular capability on the iPhone and watch (iPad too if possible) and presumed that if I took out a Pay Monthly contract with O2 I could then install the Esim plan on each device? So in essence I would pay my flat monthly contract fee (£20 for arguments sake) and then whatever the additional charge for additional Esim installations on each additional device are (£5 or something in that region?) Is this right? So if I wanted to do all 3 I would pay (using my prices above) £30 (£20 contract plus two lots of £5 for additional Esim)

Finally, would I need to have a physical SIM in my phone or would all 3 devices run on Esim?

Thank you, and sorry for the incomprehensible ramblings, hopefully someone can make sense of it!

You can add cellular capability to the watch assuming you have a pay monthly sim on o2 in your iPhone.

This is the £5 extra charge per month.

For the iPad you need a separate data sim.
