Apple Watch series 3 gps + cellular with other ...

Does the Apple Watch series 3 gps + cellular work in other networks apart from the listed.

 

I live in Kenya and the network is safaricom and airtel. On my iPhone I have airtel, if I buy that series 3 will I be able to make calls and texts?

Hi

 

Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) is not locked to any specific carrier and has a built-in eSIM that copies information from the iPhone's SIM card.

 

The built-in cellular features require a carrier plan in your country of use that specifically includes support for Apple Watch (including the carrier activating the device on the plan). Apple does not presently list any supported carriers in Kenya:

 

 

However, Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) can still be paired, set up and used for other features in conjunction with using another carrier's plan on your iPhone whilst skipping the steps to activate the built-in cellular feature.

 

The device could be used like a GPS-only model, including for calls and texts when connected to the paired iPhone via Bluetooth and potentially also at other times, as explained here:

 

 

If buying Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) in another country with a view to later using the built-in cellular feature, then you would need to buy a model that supports the relevant LTE and UMTS bands for your intended country of use and your supported carrier there.

 

There are three different regional versions of Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular), each supporting different LTE and UMTS bands, as detailed here:

 

 

If in doubt, I suggest that you contact your intended carrier to ask whether any given model can be used on their network with a plan that they may offer or plan on offering for iPhone that supports Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular).

 

The built-in cellular features cannot be used when roaming. Also keep in mind that warranty service availability may be restricted.

Thanks

You're welcome!
