I have a galaxy note 10 plus which doesn't support eSim and a galaxy watch 4 lte variant. My primary network provider is Vodafone and its sim is in my phone. I am planning to buy a secondary jio sim to be able to use it with my galaxy watch 4. Just for initial setup and activation, I can use my phone to activate jio eSim on my watch. However, after initial setup, I would keep using Vodafone sim on my phone. So what I would like to do is use traditional Vodafone sim on my phone and use Jio eSim on my watch. Will I be able to do so? Or is it necessary to keep jio eSim in my phone as well? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Network operator’s eSIM profile is equivalent to your conventional SIM card that contains all personal SIM information. The eSIM profile allows the Galaxy Watch LTE to connect to your network operator to send and receive calls, SMS, and access apps, independently without Bluetooth® pairing to your smartphone. This excludes the Bluetooth® version of Galaxy Watch which requires a smartphone to make calls.
I found it on samsung site , i hope it will help you
I understand that. But as I said, I would like to use Vodafone physical sim on my phone and Jio eSim on my watch 4. I don't know if it is possible or not. Maybe I'll have to try it out with someone with jio sim.
Actually you should try it out with your friend and check everything if this is not possible than definitely go for it! There is no question of recommendation here just do as you are experimenting I guess there is no perfect answer for your question as different people will give different opinions particularly based on your task. So it is recommended to do everything by yourself and experience what is right! I hope this helps.
The eSIM needs to be activated via a phone that supports the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app (for Samsung Galaxy Watch LTE) by scanning the QR code provided by network operator where the information of the eSIM will be downloaded onto the wearable for activation. Compatibility between Samsung Galaxy Wearable app (for Galaxy Watch LTE) and your mobile phone is subjected to Samsung’s specifications. Depending on its compatibility, additional app plug-ins may be required.
From here we cam conclude that they have mentioned only samsung phone that can support the app is needed, they haven't mentioned that phone must support esim
