Find out if your Spacetalk watch works with another provider's SIM, and when an unlocking fee applies. Most watches sold after March 2024 are soft-locked and need a Spacetalk Mobile plan or Watch Subscription to pair.
Who this is for: Anyone who wants to use another provider's SIM in a Spacetalk watch. Activation steps and unlocking fees are listed for Australia, UK and USA.
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.
Region | How to activate |
Australia | In the Spacetalk App, or see How do I activate my Spacetalk Mobile plan in Australia? |
USA | |
UK |
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 unlocking.
Country | Unlocking fee |
Australia | AU$80 (watches purchased from Telstra or Optus are already unlocked) |
USA | US$60 |
UK | £40 |
