Transfer LTE smartwatch eSIM from Galaxy Watch to Apple Watch

The $70 fee is to activate a new phone line in-store.

Did you get your line or cellphone at the same time?

Activating your smartwatch with a OneNumber Plan is done directly on your phone.  There is no need to go to a store.

Just to confirm, are you moving to an iPhone as well? An Apple Watch on Koodo needs an iPhone XR/XS or later on iOS 18.1+, and the watch has to be a cellular Series 6, SE 2nd generation, Ultra or newer running watchOS 11.1 or later. If you're staying on the Galaxy phone it won't pair at all. https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/smartwatch-faq

There isn't an eSIM you move across, the watch profile is provisioned per device. The OneNumber plan is what sits on your account. The steps on the help page are unpair the old watch, select Remove plan on it, then pair the new one.

For the fee, I would recommend starting in Self Serve and going as far as the order summary before you confirm anything. Any one-time charge is itemized there so you'll see the actual number, and you can back out if it's still there.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am moving to iPhone as well. The $70 was charged initially when I asked them that I needed a connection for my watch ( now im gling with the option in having same number as my phone ).

My use case is that I am moving to the Apple ecosystem with a new iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra. I am not worried about the phone since it uses a physical SIM card (I hope the new iPhone supports that too). My concern was entirely about the watch migration; since I cannot move it physically, I wanted to know how that process works and if it is complicated. I am now atleast optimistic that I will not have to pay any initiation fees again. Right ?

All new iphones are esim only.

Are you setting up your smart watch with it’s own phone number or does it pair with the phone number on your phone currently?

Ahaa if it's esim only then what i need to do ?

And to your other question it pair with the phone number on my phone currently. 

Thanks for helping.

Depending on how old your phone is, you can convert your physical sim to an esim on your current phone or during the set up process of the new iphone, it will give you the option to transfer things over and convert the sim to an esim during the setup and transfer process

You should be able to set up an esim directly on your smart watch.  I would walk through the process on your watch and when that is up and running, then I would cancel the plan on the previous watch.  There should not be a $70 activation fee to set up your watch on your own

Very helpful! Thank you 

For your reference, connection fees are no longer allowed, so you do not need to be worried about an additional fee when you visit the Koodo store to set up your new smartwatch.
