How does my wearable work with Digital Republic?

You want to connect your wearable. We distinguish between two use cases here.


SIM for wearables:

Activate an eSIM or physical SIM directly on your wearable (fitness tracker, smartwatches, ...), which gets its own phone number. This is not possible for the Apple Watch and the Samsung Galaxy Watch LTE.


Please note:

  • Not suitable for Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch.
  • The smartwatch must be LTE and eSIM capable.

Watch SIM Option (Multi SIM):

The Watch SIM option is suitable to complement your main subscription (e.g. Flat 10+Voice for your smartphone). It is a Multi SIM option, which means that your smartphone and your Watch share a phone number. With the Watch SIM option, you can now also use the Apple Watch and the Samsung Galaxy Watch LTE with Digital Republic. The Watch SIM Option allows you to use your smartwatch standalone for calling, texting, and data consumption without having to have your primary device nearby. To activate the Watch SIM Option, you need an active data plan and the Voice Option.


Please note:

  • Suitable for Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch LTE.
  • The smartwatch must be LTE and eSIM capable.
  • The Watch SIM option can only be added to an existing subscription with an active Voice Option. Please activate the Voice Option on your main subscription first. Adding a Watch Option will restart the term of your main subscription and you will be credited for the remaining term.
  • Your main subscription (master) can be a physical SIM or eSIM; the Watch SIM option is installed as an eSIM on the Watch (slave).
  • The smartwatch must not be active in a family configuration
  • We do not offer MultiSIM option for other devices. The Watch SIM option is for smartwatches only.

Roaming:

The Watch SIM option can easily be activated via the smartphone when roaming and an Internet connection is available. However, the Watch SIM Option cannot be roamed standalone, i.e. without physical proximity to the main subscription. If there is a connection to the smartphone (main subscription), all services available via the smartphone can also be used on the Watch.
