amaysim launches Apple Watch plans with free number sharing: What’s the best deal?
Key takeaways
- amaysim is now offering eSIM plans for Apple Watch, so you can make calls, send texts and stream music without your iPhone nearby.
- The number sharing feature, also called Number Link, is included at no extra cost on select 28-day expiry plans.
- amaysim is the first small Optus network provider (or Optus MVNO) to offer eSIM smartwatch plans, and the first telco in Australia to bundle the feature for free.
Not many telcos in Australia offer eSIM plans for a smartwatch, especially not a smaller provider.
In fact, it used to be just Telstra, Optus and Vodafone until Tangerine, More and Everyday Mobile started offering it recently.
Now amaysim's joined the list too.
How does amaysim's number sharing feature work?
When you pair a cellular Apple Watch with a phone plan from amaysim, your watch gets its own connection to the mobile network.
amaysim is calling the feature Number Link, and it's included for free on a few of its 28-day expiry plans.
The $40 and $50 plans are worth checking out right now as they're both running an offer.

How is amaysim's Apple Watch eSIM plan different?
Not only is amaysim the first Optus MVNO to offer this feature, but it's also the first telco in Australia to do it for free.
Telstra charges $8 a month. Optus charges $10. Vodafone is the cheapest of the big three at $5 a month.
A few smaller providers on the Telstra network have also started eSIM plans for smartwatches.
But Tangerine, More and Everyday Mobile all charge $10 a month for the add-on.
amaysim is now selling Apple Watch too
amaysim has added Apple Watch devices to its store for the first time, including the Apple Watch Series 10 and 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3.
To buy an Apple Watch, you'll need to be an existing or new amaysim customer.
