When I was with Telus my watch had its own phone number with data so i could still use it if i didnt have my phone on me. Can I still do this with Public Mobile?

The idea of not having to carry a phone is interesting. I assume that it is not possible to simply put in the SIM from the phone into the watch? In this scenario, they would need to pay for both the cell phone plan and the watch plan? Thanks


That's possible if the secondary device has a sim card slot, but you'd have to keep moving the sim card from one device to the other.

If you are using eSIM with your watch at Telus, it will not work with PM because PM does not support eSIM.

Bluetooth or hotspot would work, and that would avoid the need to pay for another Public Mobile account,  but I think that @JdmMama wants to be able to use the watch but not have to also carry the phone.  I could see this, especially if someone wants to go out for a run and wants to carry less things.

Assuming that this watch has a sim card slot, you could use a seperate phone number for this watch. You would, however, need to pay for a seperate plan to do that.
