Apple Watch​

note

5G Apple Watches (Series 11, Ultra 3, SE 3) are supported but will only connect via LTE for now.

Apple Watch plans are available in two modes:

  • Companion mode — your watch shares the same phone number as your iPhone (available on Warp)
  • Standalone mode — your watch gets its own number, even without an active US Mobile line on your iPhone (Warp only)
note

You need an iPhone 6s or newer to activate an Apple Watch. Visual Voicemail won't work in Standalone mode on 5G Apple Watches.

Setting up companion mode​

note

Make sure your iPhone and Apple Watch are signed in with the same iCloud account. When pairing, choose For Myself / Personal Use.

warning

Do not select "Set Up Cellular" during or after pairing — companion mode activates automatically over the air. Selecting it will cause errors.

  1. Bring your Apple Watch close to your iPhone and wait for the pairing animation.
  2. Select Continue on your iPhone, then Set Up for Myself / Personal Use.
  3. Confirm the same iCloud Apple ID is signed in on both devices and follow the on-screen steps.
  4. Let pairing finish — cellular activates automatically. Once complete, open Settings > Cellular on the watch to confirm the plan appears.
  5. Test by making a call or sending a message with your iPhone out of Bluetooth range.

Setting up standalone mode​

Standalone mode is designed for family members (such as children) who don't have their own iPhone. You manage settings like Screen Time, contacts, and location sharing from your iPhone.

Before you start:

  • Separate Apple Accounts for yourself and the family member using the watch
  • Two-factor authentication enabled on your Apple Account
  • A Family Sharing group that includes the watch user (you must be the organizer or parent/guardian)

Setup steps:

  1. Remove any physical SIMs and turn off any eSIMs on the iPhone you're using for setup (this prevents other carriers from blocking the Set Up Cellular option).

  2. Restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch.

  3. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, select All Watches, select the family member's watch, and select Done.

  4. Select Cellular > Set Up Cellular.

    note

    The watch must be signed in with a different iCloud account than your iPhone for this option to appear.

  5. Complete the installation in the pop-up. Your watch line will be active when done.

  6. On the watch, go to Settings > Cellular to confirm the plan shows as active.

Switching to a new Apple Watch​

  1. Sign in and go to My Lines, then select your wearable line.
  2. Select Change Watch under Line Management.
  3. Enter the IMEI of your new watch and select Confirm.
  4. Select Authorize Transfer.

Samsung Galaxy Watch​

note

US Mobile only supports the Galaxy Watch 9 (Small and Large) and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Your Samsung Galaxy Watch is a companion device and must be paired with an Android phone on the Warp network — companion pairing with an iPhone isn't available, as this is a Samsung limitation.

Activating your Samsung Galaxy Watch plan​

There are three ways to activate your Samsung Galaxy Watch plan, depending on when you buy your plan and when you set up cellular.

Set up cellular during pairing (no plan yet):

  1. Pair your Samsung Galaxy Watch with your Android phone using the Galaxy Wearable app.
  2. During setup, select Mobile Plans setup. Your watch opens the US Mobile sign-up page automatically.
  3. Sign in to your US Mobile account and select your Samsung Watch companion plan (monthly or annual).
  4. Select Start Activation, enter the watch IMEI, and select the host/parent line.
  5. Select Activate to create and activate your watch line.
  6. When the sign-up page closes, select Use US Mobile Plan — your eSIM downloads and installs automatically, and your watch connects to the Warp network.

Plan purchased first, then pair:

  1. Buy your Samsung Watch companion plan and activate the line on the dashboard or the US Mobile app.
  2. Pair your Samsung Galaxy Watch with your Android phone using the Galaxy Wearable app.
  3. During setup, your watch shows Connecting to your service provider and detects your pre-activated US Mobile plan.
  4. Select Use US Mobile plan when prompted — your eSIM downloads and installs automatically, and your watch connects to the Warp network.

Plan purchased first, cellular set up later:

  1. Pair your Samsung Galaxy Watch with your Android phone using the Galaxy Wearable app, and select Skip when prompted to set up a mobile plan.
  2. Buy your Samsung Watch companion plan and activate the line on the dashboard or the US Mobile app.
  3. Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone and go to Watch settings > Mobile plans.
  4. Select Set up or Add mobile plan. Your watch shows Connecting to your service provider and detects your pre-activated US Mobile plan.
  5. Select Use US Mobile plan when prompted — your eSIM downloads and installs automatically, and your watch connects to the Warp network.

Pairing your Samsung Galaxy Watch​

  1. Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your Android phone and follow the prompts to pair your Samsung Galaxy Watch.
  2. Confirm the pairing codes match on both your phone and watch.
  3. Follow the on-screen steps in one of the activation flows above to set up your mobile plan.
  4. If your watch doesn't connect after setup, restart it and wait a few minutes to reconnect to the Warp network.

Switching to a new Samsung Galaxy Watch​

  1. Sign in and go to My Lines, then select the watch line.
  2. Select Change Watch under Line Settings.
  3. Select Enter the IMEI of a new device, enter it, and select Confirm.
