Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular has been available to Singapore users since September 2017. The watch series allows users to stay connected, make calls and receive texts without their iPhone nearby, provided a compatible plan exists with their iPhone carrier. Previous generations of the watch relied on getting information directly from an existing iPhone*.
Yuen Kuan Moon, CEO, Consumer Singapore, Singtel, said, “We are pleased to be the first in Singapore to optimise our network to support Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS+ Cellular). Now, our customers can enjoy the unprecedented freedom of going about their activities with just their Apple Watch and staying connected to what matters to them, especially during the upcoming lunar new year celebrations.”
To help customers get started, Singtel has launched its NumberShare service which allows Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) customers to use the same number as their iPhone, as well as share data and talk time of their mobile plan. As an introductory offer, NumberShare is available for S$6.90 per month on a 12-month contract with the first three months free. With a plan like NumberShare, the watch user can enjoy a seamless, wireless experience with just AirPods, Apple's wireless version of earphones.
