by · Android Police

You don't need a smartphone to make a phone call. Instead, use your smartwatch to place a call via Wi-Fi, a hotspot, or another method. How you connect to this service depends on the wearable's software and the provider. Carriers assign a phone number separate from the one associated with the number of your mobile device. If you're a T-Mobile customer and want to find the phone number associated with your Android smartwatch, here's how to do it.

The different types of connections

Smartwatches connect with data through Bluetooth or LTE. Bluetooth allows you to connect the wearable with your smartphone through proximity, synchronizing the data and notifications you get on your mobile device. Watches with LTE capabilities connect to your cellular network without being close to your mobile device.

You must purchase an additional plan for your wearable to access this service.

T-Mobile offers a variety of smartwatch data plans. When you sign up for one of these plans, you get a phone number that's different from the one associated with your phone plan through Paired DIGITS.

Everything you need to know about T-Mobile's DIGITS plan

A DIGITS plan allows you to pair your primary mobile number with your wearable. You can access one phone number on multiple devices or multiple phone numbers on a single device. The provider lets you manage this account through the DIGITS app or DIGITS web client.

You need Android 8.0 or later and must be connected to data to use the app. You'll also need at least 2Mbps upload and download speeds. Location services must also be activated.

Why does my Android smartwatch have a separate phone number?

It's normal for watches to have a different number from the one associated with your mobile device. This ensures that the devices operate independently even when they aren't paired to a phone, allowing for features like making calls and sending text messages. Both numbers are linked to the same account.

Make phone calls from your Android smartwatch

Finding the number associated with your Android wearable can be helpful for many reasons, including understanding how your smartwatch works. You can also use these numbers if you're an AT&T or Verizon customer. However, the steps might differ. Now that you know your smartwatch's phone number, you can make phone calls from your wrist.
