On Wednesday, November 1, 2023, Vodafone customers willone possessive Apple Watch with LTE support remember well. The operator has launched support Apple Watch LTE, which in other words means that you can make calls from the watch or receive internet notifications without having to be near the iPhone. It is necessary to add in one breath that the launch of support has been expected every day since last week. This is because after the update to watchOS 10.1 has started for Vodafone customersone na Apple Watch discover the interface for activating mobile data, at the same time the previous message informing about the unavailability of the given option has changed and then also Vodafoneone by mistake on your portal OneNumber published a list of supported devices in Czech, among which were just Apple Watch. However, he denied the launch, saying that it will happen in November and that is what is happening now.

Support Apple Watch LTE offered by Vodafoneone through your service OneNumber, which he launched already this summer for a smartwatch from Samsung. It costs CZK 99 per month and can be described very simply as number doubling, when one is available on your Apple Watch (or other compatible smartwatches), the second on your smartphone. Thanks to this, you will be reachable through your watch even when you are out of reach of your phone, which can definitely come in handy. As for the above-mentioned price, it is the same as with the other two operators. If you are interested in the option of activating LTE Vodafoneone na Apple Watch it doesn't show yet, we just had to restart the editor iPhone and in the Watch application, through which the activation takes place, everything has already started. By the way, you can see for yourself in the gallery above. There is still no press release from the operator or an update to its website, but as you can see in the gallery, everything is really going well. We can confirm this by the fact that we have already made calls from the watch, received notifications without being near the phone, and so on.

Apple introduced his first Apple Watch with LTE support already in 2017 as Series 3. The first Czech operator to start supporting this feature was T-Mobile in the summer of 2021, followed by O2 about a year and a quarter later. Vodafone So you put in a lot of time, which is what your clients are asking for. miniIt was really popular on social media. But now it'sonestrictly equal in this respect to the other two operators.
Added to Vodafone press releaseone:
Thanks to innovative service OnePeople can now notchat your phone number right on your wrist. OneNumber can be used on the latest generation of smartwatches, for example. Apple. However, thanks to Vodafone, the service is also available on other devices that support eSIM, LTE calls and can scan the QR code required to activate the service. With Vodafone, the service can be activated for up to two devices, so there can be three at the same time under the phone number.
There is no longer any need to worry about whether the mobile phone will fit in a handbag or pocket or whether it will not interfere with sports. It will be replaced by a smart watch that will automatically connect to the mobile network and will be reachable under the same phone number that the owner of the mobile phone is already used to. It's about service OneNumber. You can make phone calls, receive messages or even stream music from the watch.
That's enough unlimited mobile tariff from Vodafone and the right smart watches. These include the new products that Vodafoneone listed for sale: Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2All models can be purchased from Vodafone discount of up to 5000 crowns, a loyal customer can buy them even for 1 crown and the rest in installments without increase.
Service OneNumber can be switched on by customers with a watch Apple Watch Series 4 and later, but also Samsung watch owners. And not only that, OneNumber can also be used with other devices that support eSIM, LTE calling and can scan the QR code required to activate the service – for example, in a tablet or smartwatch from other manufacturers. In addition, with Vodafone, it is possible to activate the service for up to two devices, i.e. add two more devices to the phone under the same phone number. Examples of supported devices can be found here.
Free for 3 months
OneNumber is on first 3 months free, then it will cost 99 crowns per month.
"When you run, you canone"You can truly experience a sense of absolute freedom and no longer be burdened by a mobile phone in your pocket. When you go to a party, you don't have to worry about losing your phone, breaking it or having it stolen. And you can make an important work call even when you don't have your phone with you," says Zohar Weitz, Vodafone's Vice President for Consumer Segment.
eSIM not only for watches
The watch connects to the mobile network thanks to an eSIM, which is miniature built-in chip that replaced the classic plastic SIM cards. Vodafoneone this solution has been offering since 2019, allows you to connect various devices to the mobile network and is also increasingly common in mobile phonesoneCustomers no longer have to worry about whether they have the right SIM card size, and this approach also means savings in the production and consumption of plastics.
Another advantage is that the eSIM is recorded remotely on a chip built into the phone or watch, which means that everything can be solved from the comfort of your home. Multiple eSIM profiles can be recorded on the chip. Customers who own multiple phone numbers do not have to change plastic cards and only choose which eSIM profile they want to use at the time. Now Vodafoneone adds service OneNumber, which improves the use of eSIM and allows customers to use the same phone number on multiple devices.

Vodafone should sell it to someone more capable. Leaky coverage is replaced by leaky technical support.. They introduced this service 2 years after T-Mobile, which is a shame that somehow speaks volumes about the overall situation.
Well, I'd rather keep quiet about the incompetence of our operators... Since none of them started it here🙈
But please. The Vodafone network is absolutely fine and they even offer services that the competition doesn't even have. Some eSIM for Apple Watch is completely irrelevant given the number of users, and Vodafone is also using itone decided to develop a more comprehensive (OneNumer) and therefore it took longer, then it Apple for many months he did not want to start. Now they have it complete and the service is available not only for one device, but for two and even any one that has an eSIM.
I would be more careful with that completeness, on the pages Apple the Watch is still only supported by T-Mobile and O2….
So, for example, with O2, they changed it on the support pages in a few weeks, but it is true that he has not yet officially confirmed the launch of VF.
However, it works for me now.
*me
Have you ever tried calling Vodafone support? So that you can set aside an entire afternoon for it.
"Vodafone's network is absolutely fine and they even offer services that the competition doesn't even have."
Yes, yes, we need such a signal.. such a base that no one has ever seen at Vodafone in many places of the republic (probably following the example of Obusk out of the bag).
After the restart it actually appeared. I just got it oneThe net number and unfortunately the service is not available for me :-( I am quite disappointed.
As far as I know, activation OneNet should only go through the My Vodafone self-serviceone and on OneNet does not cover the three-month free period. The question is whether it will be for OneNet launched immediately, because according to the original plans, activation was supposed to start in April 2023 and for OneNot in the summer.
So for OneNet will be launched a little later, activation will go through self-service, it applies.
they have written on the pages:
OneNet with mobile tariffs: Unlimited Super, Unlimited Premium, Unlimited Platinum
Tariffs with OneNet mobile connection with a specific data volume, which after exhausting this data volume continues in unlimited usage at the customer's chosen speed of 2–50 Mb/s
I have oneNet 10GB data, but after exhaustion I have 32kbit. I tried and it won't let me activate. So I guess I'm out of luck. I can't choose the tariff myself.
Pro OneIt should be up and running from the second half of November. 😉
So for OneNet will be launched a little later. That activation will be through the My Vodafone self-serviceone, applies.

After restarting the phone and the watch, the phone still shows me the message "VF CZ is currently not supported." Apple Watch... ".
Service OneI have an active number, but I can't get the number 8 on my watch...
The same with me
Keep trying throughout the day. If you have the latest SW, it should appear (rebooting or turning it off and on will help).
I tried both the watch and the phone, I have 10.2 beta, still nothing. Maybe during the day :)
And isn't there a problem with that beta?
I have exactly the same problem, on the advice of others I restarted my phone and watch, but the message about unavailability still appears. iOS 17.2 watchOS 10.2
U Beta version, eSIM for AW (at boot time) may not appear. Sometimes some things are missing in beta version and they will deliver them there gradually.
Last week in beta it was said that the tariff was not sufficient…. At the end of the week it came out that Vodafoneone CZ does not support….
I envy you fellow Czechs, there is support here, that is, in our developing country Apple Watch LTE in sight.
You know, we are a specific market 😂
So on the Vodafone websiteone the graphics have been changed and there are also Apple Watche. https://www.vodafone.cz/tarify/onenumber/
They are even already in support Apple Watch.
So for OneNet will be launched a little later. That activation will be through the My Vodafone self-serviceone, applies.
Vodafone works, Onenet (Vodaf Corporateone) – I was told a few weeks ago, maybe this year… a decent fuckup…
Yes. It is so. But you can handle it. 🙂
Exactly, silence on the footpath again
On the helpline, the operator told me that they don't support it, then he was surprised that they do from today.
they have written on the pages:
OneNet with mobile tariffs: Unlimited Super, Unlimited Premium, Unlimited Platinum
Tariffs with OneNet mobile connection with a specific data volume, which after exhausting this data volume continues in unlimited usage at the customer's chosen speed of 2–50 Mb/s
I have oneNet 10GB data, but after exhaustion I have 32kbit. I tried and it won't let me activate. So I guess I'm out of luck. I can't choose the tariff myself.
as expressed by vodafone:
At this time, the service is not yet available for OneNet customers, but we are working to make it happen as soon as possible.
The lady at VF told me that she was looking at the VF website and there is new information that the launch of the service is (again) postponed. However, I did not find this information anywhere, the VF website quite consistently informs about the launch of the service for AW.
However, the option to Set up mobile data still doesn't appear in the Watch app and it keeps telling me that VF CZ~ currently doesn't support AW. Not even on the pageance https://www.apple.com/cz/watch/cellular/ VF CZ is not listed.
Does anyone have a problem with this?
iPhone 12 iOS 17.2 beta 2 (21C5029g), HF Operator CZ 56.5
AW 4, watchOS 10.2 beta 2 (21S6331f)
Thanks…
Hi, I have too. beta version and it doesn't work there, beta does not support carrier update
Well, after my attempts with web activation OneNumber and deactivation OneNumber, the result came. I won't call again, it says Call failed right after dialing the number...
uff
It helped me to remove the tariff on the watch and add it again
I guess I had ideas that it would work differently :D Calls from the watch work, if I turn off the phone or disconnect from the network, the call is redirected to the watch, also fine. But when the phone is on and not connected to the watch (like I left the phone at home and went out) the incoming call only rings on my mobile
Solved. Although I moved the phone out of range of the watch, it was still paired via Wifi, so the watch still worked with the mobile. It was enough to disconnect from Wifi and everything works :D
iPhone 15pro max iOS 17.2 beta 1 to Apple Watch ultra 2 watchOS 10.2 ...VF CZ does not currently support Apple Watch. That will probably be the beta 🤷
Yes. Or platform OneJust.
I also have beta, it doesn't work and according to the site Apple se u Apple Watch can't go back to the non-beta version… so just wait until Apple will upgrade…😳☹️
With T-Mobile, you can set up an ESIM even if you have Beta
Ve OneNet a new item has been added to "Setting numbers": OneNumber (Activate the same number on a second eSIM-enabled device. Terms of service can be found here.)
It is so. It can be turned on with my unlimited data. The wife has "only" 20 GB and it doesn't work there.
We OneNet and on both watches and phoneoneI'm fine with it. The man in charge of us just activated it for us :)
OneI have the number below. OneNet is active, do you have any idea what to do next, how to get the profile on the watch?
Hurrah! And it works 🤩🤩🤩 I had to restart but it works
I'm just pointing out that whoever has beta 17.2 there probably won't get it there, he has a problem with esim.
Just a heads up for those who don't want advice, it's only for the unlimited data plan. Anyone who "only" has a monthly data limit is in trouble.... "Golds" O2 and TM.
Anyone else using this?
I don't quite understand the condition with an unlimited data plan. I have an unlimited tariff, only data, I have 10 Gb, which is plenty for me. So bad luck.
I quite understand it. 😀
After all, unlimited tariffs are the best, you don't have to deal with anything anymore, you won't run out of data.
Same with me. Unlimited calls + SMS and 10+2 GB of data. If no reasonable solution can be found, I am switching to a competitor after more than 20 years. There is no condition of unlimited data.
I plan to do that too.
Just get a basic unlimited tariff, there will be no significant price difference.
If someone in the Watch app has an inactive item for mobile data settings with a message saying "your account is not eligible to activate mobile data on Apple Watch". Try to check in self-service that you have VoLTE enabled. In my case it was inactive and (for a while) after activation it solved the problem.
According to the information in the “Care Center … -> I have problems with the service One Number" it looks like VoLTE needs to be active.
OneNet: I've already started it, just send an eSIM (which can already be created in Number settings)
On the eID of the watch (the eID can be seen in the watch application).
In the end, the setup was quite simple and it works quite nicely too. The only thing I don't like is texting...
Unfortunately, it's not as glorious as it seems. One number costs 99 CZK like the competition, but unlike the competition, you have to have a plan with unlimited data, which is a few hundred extra for something I don't need most of the time, when there is Wi-Fi at home and at work.
Did someone manage to break up? iOS 17.2?
