Apple Watch Setup on TELUS

[krazyleb]

Hello Everyone,


Seeing that support for Business/Corporate lines is not on the horizon, I was wondering if someone could talk me through how the watch is setup? My main quesiton is:

Is there a way to manually assign what number the watch is forwarded to?


The reason I ask, is I have a TELUS corporate account (I am not the owner but I have someone that can make changes and what not on my behalf) and I also own a personal TELUS account that my wife and son are on. Is there a way of subscribing to a watch plan on my personal account and somehow having the watch eSIM number forward to my corporate phone number?


I know this is possible on AT&T or T-Mobile down in the states through some work around. Was hoping someone who has knowledge of how this works on the TELUS side could comment.

No way to do what you are wanting to do today.

All the carriers require you to have both the iPhone and the Watch on the same billing account. All of the carrier solutions need this in order to have the watch share the same phone number as the iPhone. Terms line NumberSync, NumberShare, Digits all work the exact same way to pair the watch's phone number to the host iPhone.

Yes the watch is assigned it's own unique phone number but you can't pair it to your corporate account or forward the number to your corporate line. Same restriction: both lines must be on the same billing account.

Since you have someone that manages your corporate account, why not work on a business case to support the addition of watch support to your corporate account.

We have business account support here in the USA but again the key restriction is that both the watch and the paired iPhone must be on the same billing account. It is up to the individual business to determine if they want to add watch lines and pay the bill.
