Globe ONENUMBER and eSIM Technology: All You Need to Know
Here, how it all works and the key features to note
In the fast-paced digital age, there’s no doubt that communication technologies play a significant role in everyday life. They enable people to get in touch with anyone at any time, becoming a lifeline for both personal and professional endeavors.
As new technologies emerge, tech giants like Apple make sure they follow suit by regularly introducing innovative products. Here, the iPhone may be its most well-known device, but in the game, the Apple Watch is not one to be discounted either. With the introduction of eSIM technology, telecom service providers like Globe now allow users to share their mobile phone numbers directly with their Apple Watch.
If you yourself are looking to experience what the Apple Watch has to offer, scroll through. The guide ahead covers everything you need to know about the all-new Globe ONENUMBER.
What is Globe ONENUMBER, and how does it work?
Globe’s ONENUMBER is an add-on service that allows you to share your mobile phone number with your Apple Watch. Thanks to eSIM technology, users can now power their Apple Watch with LTE connectivity and enjoy a vast array of life-enabling benefits.
For starters, you can make or receive calls; you can also use data-dependent services even if your smartphone isn’t within your reach.
What exactly is an eSIM? How is it different from a standard SIM?
The main difference between an eSIM and a nano SIM is that the latter is physical and can be removed. While device configurations may vary, eSIMs are generally embedded into the gadget and can be adjusted via your mobile provider.
Apart from minimizing digital waste, eSIMs allow you to activate a mobile plan and switch gadgets without the constraints of a physical nano SIM.
Who is eligible to use the Globe ONENUMBER?
Eligible users must be using an iPhone 6s or a newer model, which must be running on iOS 15.2 or later. Users must also own an Apple Watch Series 3 or higher (cellular) running on watchOS 8.3 or later. Finally, users must be subscribed to an existing Globe Postpaid or Platinum Plan.
