Galaxy Watch 4 LTE and eSIM: what to know

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 LTE version has a built-in eSIM, so it needs no physical SIM card. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi-only version has no cellular connectivity at all, so make sure you own the LTE model. The watch is set up through a paired Android phone, and it generally uses one mobile plan profile at a time.

Where to add it: open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone and look for the watch's mobile plan options, or check Settings > Connections > Mobile networks on the watch.
EID: look in the watch's Settings under About watch, or in the Galaxy Wearable app's watch information.
Pairing: the watch works with Android phones, not iPhones.
Travel tip: watch cellular plans often depend on your carrier, so check before you leave how your plan behaves abroad.

For trips abroad, install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your phone before you leave and activate it on arrival. Your main number and WhatsApp stay available while you use local data.
