The new Series 3 Apple Watch with LTE built-in is kinda cool. Leave the iPhone at home and wander around with this mini computer on ya wrist that has network ability regardless of where you are \u2013 sounds nice! To make things easy, telcos have set up a \u201cone number\u201d system, where your iPhone SIM and eSIM inside the Apple Watch can receive calls and send messages on the same number. No need for an extra SIM \u2013 pretty cool.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What isn\u2019t cool is what the telcos are charging for it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We all knew they were going to charge you for it. Optus, one of the first to announce pricing, is guided by their rulers Singtel who’ve had this up and running for a year now. Love how they give you that free taste for a few months before sucking you in too.<\/p>\n
