Why does the Spacetalk App show my watch as disabled?

How to fix the "Device Disabled" error in the Spacetalk App when you have an active Spacetalk Mobile plan.

If the Spacetalk App is asking you to subscribe despite having an active Spacetalk Mobile plan, or the watch is showing as "Device Disabled", there is a synchronisation issue between the app, the watch, and your subscription. Follow the steps below to resolve it.

Step 1: Check your Spacetalk Mobile SIM is active

Before resetting anything, confirm your Spacetalk Mobile plan is activated and linked to your account. See How do I activate my Spacetalk Mobile plan in Australia? if you have not yet activated it.

Step 2: Factory reset and re-pair the watch

Resetting the watch re-establishes the connection between the watch and the app, and allows the app to detect the free subscription associated with your Spacetalk Mobile SIM.

  1. Factory reset the watch — see How do I reset my Spacetalk watch? for the full steps.

  2. Re-pair the watch to the Spacetalk App — see How do I pair my Spacetalk watch with the app?.

If the issue persists after completing both steps, contact our Support team via live chat.
