More ways for your customers to stay connected

Offer your customers the freedom to leave their phones at home, with Telstra Wholesale’s eSIM Companion Plan connectivity for a range of eSIM-enabled smartwatches.

 

With cellular connectivity, end users can stay connected with voice and data services on their smartwatch device, independently from their paired smart phone.

 

Expand your mobile offering by building on top of eSIM functionality for mobile phone devices. Smartwatches are a growing market, with an estimated 36% of Australians owning one at the end of 2022, an increase of 4% YoY.  Create a mobile ecosystem that taps into growing customer demand by bundling mobile and smartwatch connectivity.

 

Companion device plans are just the start of our strategy to help MVNOs use the growing power of IoT to thrive.
