Apple’s smart watch can make calls in the Czech Republic, but only with one operator

“Today, T-Mobile launches the Apple Watch Connection service and is the first operator in the Czech Republic to enable the full use of the Apple Watch even out of reach of a paired iPhone. As of today, it is also offering the Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE smart watches in the GPS + Cellular version with eSIM support, “said Kateřina Mikesková from T-Mobile’s press department.

In practice, this means that people can now use network services even when they are not close to their iPhone. “With Apple Watch Connection and built-in electronic eSIM in the watch, customers can call from their phone number without having to be close to their iPhone. With the newly activated service, it is possible to make calls, send and receive messages from the watch, use the Siri voice assistant, stream music, use services requiring a mobile connection and a number of other functions, “Mikesková emphasized.

The service is available within T-Mobile for all customers who have an activated voice tariff. All you have to do is activate the Apple Watch Connection service. This service is charged CZK 99 per month. T-Mobile customers who activate Apple Watch Connection within the next 12 months will receive the first three months free of charge.

“The customer can easily pair the watch and activate the service directly in the Watch application on the iPhone. After connecting, the watch receives the tariff settings according to the phone and is registered in the network under the same phone number. The customer can use both devices at the same time or completely independently of each other – for example, during sports activities, he can leave the iPhone at home and use only a practical wearable accessory in the form of a watch, “calculated the media representative of the operator.

Apple Watch SE in the GPS + Cellular version costs CZK 9,999, the larger version with a 44mm dial costs CZK 10,799. For the Apple Watch Series 6 in the GPS + Cellular version, potential applicants at T-Mobile will pay from CZK 15,199 to CZK 20,399, depending on the size and design. If people buy the watch together with the tariff, they can easily save several thousand crowns from the purchase price.
