Vodafone Launches OneNumber Service for Apple and Samsung Watches with eSIM Support
Vodafone, one of the leading network operators, has introduced a new service called OneNumber, which allows users to have duplicate eSIMs in their Apple and Samsung watches (LTE, Cellular). The operator also claims that the service should work with other devices that have eSIM capabilities, such as watches from different brands or even tablets. However, it is worth noting that there are not many such devices available on the market.
While Vodafone may be the last network operator to offer this service, it is the first to allow up to two copies of the main number. This means that users can have their main mobile phone number on their watch with a modem and also on a tablet with a modem. The price for one or two eSIMs remains the same. The service is free for the first three months, and then the operator charges 99 Czech koruna per month.
However, Vodafone has one condition for using the OneNumber service. It can only be activated for unlimited tariffs, specifically those with unlimited data. The service is not available for other tariffs.
Smartwatches are available in two versions from some manufacturers. The basic version comes with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, while the other version includes a mobile modem. This is most commonly seen in Apple Watch and certain Samsung watch models. Watches without a mobile modem require a direct connection to a phone. They can function independently, but without a phone, users cannot make calls, for example.
On the other hand, watches with a mobile modem can function independently, allowing users to leave their phones at home and go for a run or workout with just their watches. Most

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this update for a long time. Now I can use my eSIM on my Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch at the same time.
This is great news! No need to switch between watches anymore, I can now conveniently use both my Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch with Vodafone eSIM.
