Add or Remove NumberSync for Apple Watch
If you own an Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) or a newer version, you can talk, text, or use data even without your iPhone nearby using AT&T NumberSync. This feature allows you to use your iPhone’s wireless number on your watch. Here’s everything you need to know to set it up:
Apple Watch Series 3 and newer models – compatible with AT&T NumberSync for seamless connectivity.
What You Need:
- Apple Watch: Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) or newer.
- iPhone: 6 series or newer running iOS 11.0 or greater, with AT&T Wi-Fi Calling enabled.
- Plans: Active AT&T wireless plans for both the iPhone and Apple Watch.
- Account: AT&T user ID and password.
Additional Notes:
- If you don’t have a plan for your watch, contact me, and I can add one for you. Watch plans are just $10/month for unlimited service.
- You can only sync your watch with one wireless number at a time. If you’re switching watches or have been using your watch via Bluetooth, you’ll need to unsynchronize it first.
- To sync an Apple Watch with an iPhone on another account, ensure you have the AT&T user ID and password for that account.
Setting Up NumberSync
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone and follow the prompts to pair your watch.
- Select Cellular, then choose Set up Cellular.
- If you don’t have a plan for your watch, contact me to add one.
- Check the box and review the Important Information for NumberSync on the 911 screen.
- Select Verify address.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup.
After activating NumberSync, your Apple Watch will use your iPhone’s wireless number for calls, texts, and data.
Good to Know:
- If you call 911 from your watch, emergency teams may use nearby Wi-Fi networks or the address you provide to locate you.
