Free SIM card with Smartwatch

    Always need a SIM card?

    Yes, most smartwatches with GPS and calling capabilities require a SIM card to fully function. The SIM card allows the watch to connect to a mobile network, allowing features such as calling, messaging, and GPS tracking to work.

    Why is a SIM card needed?

    A SIM card enables the watch to:

    • Calling and sending messages: Communication with preset contacts depends on a mobile connection.
    • GPS tracking used: The location data is sent via the mobile network to a connected app or platform.
    • SOS functions activated: The emergency button works via the mobile network to immediately contact parents or caregivers.

    Which SIM card can you use?

    JuniorCompass always includes a Lebara SIM card (FREE). This offers:

    • Affordable bundles: With low costs for data, calling and texting.
    • Flexible plans: Prepaid options and monthly bundles with no long-term commitments.
    • Good coverage: Suitable for use in the Netherlands and often abroad.

    However, you can also choose a SIM card of your preference, as long as it meets the following specifications:

    • Size: Most smartwatches work with a nano-SIM card. Check the size in the manual of the watch.
    • Mobile data: A small amount of data (around 100 MB per month) is often sufficient for GPS tracking and notifications.
    • Call credit: Make sure you have sufficient call and text credit if the watch supports these functions.

    SIM cards from other providers

    Besides Lebara you can also use SIM cards from other providers, such as:

    • KPN or Vodafone: For strong network coverage in the Netherlands.
    • Prepaid SIM cards: Ideal for children, so you can keep costs under control.
    • Budget providers: Such as Lycamobile or T-Mobile prepaid, depending on your preference and needs.

    What should you pay attention to?

    • Data and call bundle: Choose a bundle that suits the use of the watch. For example, a small data bundle if you mainly use GPS functions.
    • Coverage: Check that the provider offers good coverage in your area.
    • International use: If you want to use the watch abroad, choose a provider with roaming options.

    With a suitable SIM card you can get the most out of a smartwatch, whether you choose Lebara or another provider that suits your situation.
