Do you need the same carrier for your watch to be able to call?

If you're a parent considering a smartwatch for your child, you may be wondering if your child needs to be on the same carrier for calls to work.

The good news is that you don’t need to have the same carrier for calls to and from the watch!

Your carrier doesn’t affect the calls

While the watch may rely on a specific network for its functionality, the carrier on your own phone doesn’t impact the calls made through the watch. Whether you’re using AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, or another carrier, you’ll still be able to call and receive calls from your child’s smartwatch.

You need a compatible carrier for your watch

You can choose among different carriers for your watch, but it’s important to pick one that’s compatible with the watch’s network settings. Carriers use different frequencies and technologies, and a compatible provider ensures the watch connects correctly, allowing all features like calls, messaging, and tracking to function as expected.

Approved contacts

Our smartwatches are designed to prioritize safety and communication between your child and trusted family members or friends. It only allows calls from numbers approved by the parent or guardians. This means your child won’t be able to receive calls from anyone who isn’t on the approved list.
