Adding free unlimited data to your smartwatch

With a mobile data connection on your smartwatch, you can make and receive phone calls, reply to messages, get alerts and more – even while you’re away from your phone.

Before you start

To be eligible for a free EE data plan for your smartwatch, you'll need:

  • mobile-data-compatible watch that you have purchased SIM-free from EE Smart Tech or have bought elsewhere.
  • to have an eligible EE mobile plan such as: 
    Unlimited All Rounder, taken on or after 29 August 2024
    Unlimited All Rounder for iPhone, taken on or after 29 August 2024
    Unlimited Full Works, taken on or after 29 August 2024
    Unlimited Full Works for iPhone, taken on or after 29 August 2024, or
