Thanks

No you can't have 2 sims with the same number.

If your watch is supported, you can have an eSim which will pair your watch to your phone, but the actual eSim will have a different number. 

All are like that.

Hi @OtwoASA 

 

We do have sim cards for tablets and smart watches.

What I would recommend is checking out our offers on the O2 Website or calling in to store. 

You do also have the option to call us on 202 if you are pay monthly.

I think I explained myself wrong...
what I intended was to have a duplicate of the SIM I already have to use in a smart watch,
that is, a SIM with the same number as the one I already use.
Thanks

Yes you can get an e-sim witch will mimic the same number on a smart watch but not tablets.

To do this you would need a pay monthly agreement with us using an Apple iPhone and you would setup a £5.00 e-sim which would marry up to the connection using an Apple Watch.

We also do Samsung Watches compatible with certain Android and iOS phones again you can get an e-sim for £5.00 to work along side your device, as long as your phone plan is compatible. 

If you pop in to one of our stores we can look in to this for you. 

Hope that helps.

The eSim cannot have the same number @O2Karl 

The watch will pair with the phone using a data connection and replicate calls made to the phone's number but won't be the same number.

So if I knew the smart watch number I could call that directly @MI5 ?

I guess you could in theory @gmarkj although I've never tried it.
