Dual SIM with an eSIM - Add / Remove Cellular Plan

With an eSIM, your phone number and plan are installed digitally onto your Apple Watch® instead of using a physical SIM card. Downloading an eSIM profile is the first step in getting connected to the Verizon network.

Before you begin

You can have one Verizon mobile number and one from another carrier activated; however, they can't be used simultaneously. For instructions on switching between mobile numbers, refer to Switch Between Plans.
Ensure your watch is set up with an Apple® iPhone® XS or later running iOS 12.1 or later.
