What are steps to activate eSIM on Apple Watch?
Firstly, check if your Apple Watch supports eSIM; Launch the Watch app on your iPhone, and click on the “Mobile Data” tab. In case the “Mobile Data” tab is missing, your Apple Watch might not be compatible with eSIM.
One has to make sure they are running latest version of watchOS. To determine if your Apple Watch is eSIM compatible, you can initiate the Watch app on your iPhone, and select the “Mobile Data” tab. If the “Mobile Data” tab is absent, it is possible that your Apple Watch is not capable of supporting eSIM.
Once you have accessed the “Mobile Data” tab, choose the option “Add a Plan.” This will display a catalog of carriers that endorse eSIM on Apple Watch. Simply select the carrier of your choice that you would like to use for your eSIM plan.
After successfully activating the eSIM plan, the details of your carrier and plan will be exhibited on the “Cellular” tab in the Watch app. To utilize the eSIM, ensure that your Apple Watch is connected to a cellular network.
To check this, swipe up on the watch face to access the Control Center, and tap on the “Cellular” icon. The cellular icon should display a green dot, indicating that it is connected to a cellular network. Once your Apple Watch is linked to a cellular network, you can directly make and receive calls, and exchange messages on your Apple Watch, even without your iPhone being in range.
