International Roaming with Apple Watch: KPN Takes the Lead with 4G Function

Wow, finally. It’s nice to hear that KPN is taking the lead. Because to be honest: the 4G function is most useful abroad. When you are in the hustle and bustle of the city with your phone tucked away far away to prevent pickpockets and even more so when you don’t even have your phone with you during a tour of the city. The launch of the Apple Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2 is also the best time to roll this out.

There is still the restriction that your roaming network must support both roaming and VoLTE roaming for this on the Apple information site.

International roaming with your Apple Watch
With watchOS 9.1 and later, international roaming is available on cellular models of Apple Watch Series 5 and later, Apple Watch SE and later, and Apple Watch Ultra.

To get international roaming on your Apple Watch, contact your iPhone carrier to add your watch to your iPhone cellular roaming plan. For international roaming to work on your Apple Watch, your carrier must support VoLTE and roaming. Not all carriers support international roaming on Apple Watch and coverage in other countries is determined by your carrier.

To turn on international roaming, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. Tap Cellular, then turn on Data Roaming. And they only work on 4G/LTE and 3G networks (not on 2G and 5G as they lack the radio hardware and antennas.)

To cover the LTE and UMTS bands used around the world, cellular models of Apple Watch come in regional models for the Americas, China mainland, and Europe/Asia Pacific. Unlike iPhone, there isn’t a worldwide Apple Watch model that supports all cellular bands used globally. Find out which carriers in your country or region offer cellular service for Apple Watch.
