O2 Offers £7 Airtime plan by which you can use unlimited data in your apple watch taken from non O2 store.
My question is if O2 doesn’t provide sms and call on watch eSIM then what is the sense of having eSIM. I know we can use data to play online music etc but calling is native feature. So if my iphone is left at home or itbus turned off with this plan I can only use data NoT the call, sounds weird. Other telecom providers are providing calls and data while O2 only provides data.
Will in future O2 change this and allow minutes also from primary sim contract?
pls advise

Calls and iMessage work on the watch over 4g network, so you need to ensure that wifi and 4g calling is enabled on your account first.

It's so you don't run out of data for calls.
SMS won't come through. Just iMessage @rky_com

Sorry but I think may I be couldn’t explained it well or you didn’t understand it well. I want to say with apple watch esim 5£ plan they are giving data only they should also give calling minutes. So that if iphone is off then outgoing call can be made.

I understand fully.
Calls are made over 4g with the included data.

Because they don't know what they are talking about and just guessing.
