Hi there, I've recently moved to yourselves from three.
However three cancelled by eSim for apple watch.
I see now that you do not support eSim for apple watch.
I thought you used three network? So I don't understand why you don't support apple watch?
Had I've of know this I would have gone with another provider. This is really disappointing.
Are you looking to support this?
It is such a shame as you have the best roaming deals, hence why I joined.

The 4 main networks only offer the Apple Watch Pairing feature unfortunately. Not sure if this will ever be supported by an MVNO like iD.

As per @MZone post above, only Vodafone, O2, EE and Three offer plans for use with a smartwatch.

Hey there @Sarah Skinner, we hope the kind advice from @MZone & @WelshPaul has been able to help.

This is something we don’t support at this current stage I’m afraid.

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi @Jimineycrickett ,

Thank you for the post.

I do apologise, but at the moment we do not offer support for smartwatches with any mobile brand. Only the main providers, such as Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three, currently offer plans for use with smartwatches. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hi @ID Community I am moving my whole family over to your network SIM by SIM. I am really happy with everything so far but I would really love an eSIM for my Apple Watch. What’s the specific direction of UK MVNOs offering watch eSIMs? Thanks!

Hi @jpcraig40585,

Thanks for your post, and it's great to hear that you're happy with the service so far and are moving the rest of your family across to iD Mobile.

We know that Apple Watch eSIM support is something a lot of customers would like to see. However, at this point in time, iD Mobile SIMs and eSIMs aren't supported in smartwatches, including Apple Watches with cellular capabilities.

We are aware of the interest in this feature and it's something that's being looked at, but unfortunately we're unable to provide a timescale or confirm if or when support will become available.

In the meantime, Apple Watches can still be used in GPS/Bluetooth mode, connected to a paired iPhone.

We appreciate the feedback and interest, and we'll be sure to share any updates with the Community should this change in the future.

Regards,
