Welcome to the ultimate guide for setting up your Apple Watch with NumberSync on your Cricket Wireless plan! If you’ve just snagged yourself a shiny Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular) or newer, you’re probably eager to stay connected without having your iPhone glued to your side. Well, you’re in luck! With NumberSync, your Apple Watch can share the same number as your iPhone, allowing you to receive calls and messages wherever you are – even if you leave your iPhone at home.
What You Need for NumberSync with Cricket
Before diving into the setup process, let’s make sure you have everything you need. Here’s what you’ll require:
- Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular) or a newer model
- iPhone XS or newer
- iOS updated to the latest version on both devices
- A qualifying Cricket smartphone rate plan, plus the Unlimited Smartwatch Plan
- Your iCloud account username and password handy
Preparing for Setup
Getting ready for NumberSync is super simple. Follow these handy steps:
- Ensure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version. This part is crucial for smooth syncing!
- Activate Bluetooth on your iPhone and make sure it’s connected to Wi-Fi or Cricket’s cellular data.
Syncing Your Apple Watch and iPhone
Now that you’re ready, let’s walk through how to sync your Apple Watch with your iPhone:
- Power on your Apple Watch. It should be in pairing mode, but if it’s not, simply restart the watch.
- On your iPhone, open the Watch app. Follow the prompts to start the pairing process.
- When it asks about cellular setup, select “Set up Cellular.” If it’s just for you, go with “Set up for Myself.”
- If you haven’t added the Unlimited Smartwatch Plan yet, you’ll see a prompt to pay $10 using either Apple Pay, a debit card, or a credit card. (Don’t forget that additional taxes and fees might apply!)
- Next, follow the prompts to enter or confirm your Emergency 911 address. This step is crucial for your safety.
- Continue through the activation steps until everything is set up and connected, and boom! You’re all done!
