A Shared Number plan offers several advantages over just pairing your smartwatch with your phone via Bluetooth:
Stay connected on the go, no phone required!
With a Shared Number plan, your smartwatch can make and receive calls, use data, and stream music, even when your phone isnt nearby. Leave your phone at home and stay connected, present, and hands-free.Just in case you were wondering, you don't have to channel your inner Maxwell Smart and talk/listen directly into your smartwatch. You can simply talk and listen via your compatible Bluetooth ear pods! It is seriously a hands-free solution, but user beware, you may look like you are talking to yourself - that we cannot help with. 😊
Freedom to move, without the bulk
Whether you're out for a run, hitting the gym, or tackling your to-do list, your smartwatch works independently, providing you with the same connectivity as your phone. No more worrying about dropping your phone mid-run (after snapping that #runselfie, of course) or having it slip out of your pocket while cycling up a hill. Phone accidents happen, but they're much less likely when you leave it safely at home!
Reliable in any situation
In case of an emergency, your smartwatch ensures you can still make calls and send messages, giving you peace of mind even when your phone is out of reach.
A Shared Number plan delivers convenience, flexibility, and security, all from your wrist.
