The Apple Watch with GPS + Cellular is not the same as a mobile phone, some network functionality is not available on these devices and call quality may not be of the same standard as a mobile phone and may drop out in certain areas.

OPTUS NUMBER SHARE: requires a compatible wearable device and mobile phone with iOS 12 or later (or iOS 11 or later for the Apple Watch Series 3).

If you cancel your Number Share Bolt-on or your Postpaid mobile phone plan to which the bolt-on is attached, the number sharing functionality will not be available on your wearable device.
