Can I use a different SIM provider with my Spacetalk watch?

How Spacetalk watches work with SIM cards, when an unlocking fee applies, and how to activate your included Spacetalk Mobile SIM.

Most Spacetalk watches sold after March 2024 are soft-locked to the Spacetalk Mobile network. This means the watch is designed to work with a Spacetalk SIM, and you will need either a Spacetalk Watch Subscription or a Spacetalk Mobile plan to pair the watch with the app.

Note: Spacetalk products do not support the Spusu network anywhere globally.

What happens if I use a different SIM?

A watch with a non-Spacetalk SIM will not pair to the app by default. If you already have an active non-Spacetalk SIM in the watch, the pairing flow gives you the option to continue — select My SIM is active when no Spacetalk SIM is detected. An unlocking fee may apply.

How to activate your Spacetalk Mobile SIM

If your watch came with a Spacetalk Mobile SIM, we recommend activating it for the best experience. You can port your current number or take a new one during activation.

Unlocking fees

If your SIM is active but the watch still will not pair, the watch may be soft-locked to Spacetalk Mobile. You can pay an unlocking fee to use a different provider's SIM — contact our Support team via live chat to arrange this.
