A VERIZON DATA PLAN THAT IS
COMPATIBLE WITH WEAR OS BY GOOGLE
Not all mobile carriers support Wear OS by
Google cellular connectivity, so consumers
should utilize the Verizon network and
confirm service availability.
To unlock the untethered cellular experience,
consumers need three things:
GETTING SETUP
STEP 1
Connect your watch to the
included charger. On your
phone, download the Wear
OS by Google™ app, open
the app and tap Set it up.
STEP 2
On your phone, tap the name
of your watch and compare
the codes that appear on both
screens.
STEP 4
To finish setting up,
follow the onscreen
instructions.
STEP 3
If the codes that appear are the
same, tap Pair on your phone.
Pairing can take a few minutes. If
the two codes are not the same,
restart your watch and try again.
If the codes still don’t match:
•Check your Bluetooth
connection.
•Restart both devices.
•Unpair and try again.

When it comes to messaging using the LTE functionality, users should assume:
● Watch will share the phone number of the paired phone for voice call and messaging (i.e. twinning, number
sharing).
● SMS/MMS will always be routed through the phone and must have network connectivity.
● Android Messages must be the default messaging app on the phone to initiate messages on the watch. Carrier and
OEM messaging apps are not supported.
● User has permissions to add/modify cellular service plans: post-paid, consumer accounts only.
● The watch cellular operator will be the same as the paired phone operator.
● Android phones only are supported at this time.
● eSIM profiles will be managed using Wear OS Local Profile Assistant (LPA).
