One Number Service for Apple Watch
Dialog ONE NUMBER service for Apple Watch extends the connection from your iPhone to your Apple Watch, enabling you to make and receive calls and connect to the internet from your Apple Watch (Cellular) without needing an iPhone nearby.
- Your Watch will have the same number as your mobile connection
- Make/receive calls by connecting to the mobile network or Wi-Fi
- Both Phone & Watch will ring simultaneously when a call is received
- Send/receive iMessages (will not be able to send/receive SMS )
- Calls and data usage will be charged to your mobile connection
Set up cellular on your Apple Watch
An Apple Watch with cellular automatically switches to the most power efficient wireless available. When in close proximity it can connect to an iPhone, a Wi-Fi network or cellular. When the Watch connects to cellular it uses a LTE/3G network.
Customer can check the signal strength from Control Center or the Explorer watch face. To open Control Center, touch and hold the bottom of the screen, then swipe up.
The cellular button turns green when it has discovered a connection.
The cellular button turns white when the cellular plan is active (Watch is connected to the iPhone using Bluetooth of Wi-Fi)
Since the pairing requires the same carrier, the same number as in the phone will simply be assigned to the cellular plan in the Watch. Therefore, use the same number as on the phone for cellular setup in the Dialog system portal.
