Cheapest Plan with Some Data for Galaxy Watch?

So turns out you can use the "hack" / dev options menu in the Galaxy Wearable to enable manually adding eSIM from a QR code, hence why I'm after a cheap plan with few hundred MB of data per month.

Idea is I don't need to carry my phone if I don't want to - I can receive notifications on my watch and use remote calling to redirect calls / sms from my phone to my watch over the internet.

Any decent deals? Most providers that offer eSIM seem to all have rather "expensive" plans ie $15/month or more. I can see there are other posts on this topic but all those deals have since expired…

What a first world problem.

Edit: I figured out the cheapest method: the free Eskimo eSIM.

1GB I think for 1 year or 2 or what not should be plenty for my needs.

    If you're looking for an affordable plan with a small amount of data for your Galaxy Watch in Australia, here are a couple of options:

    1. Vodafone Prepaid: Simply purchase a Vodafone prepaid SIM card and recharge it with the $10 pay-as-you-go plan. By signing up for auto-recharge, you'll receive 1GB of data that lasts for 60 days. Additionally, this plan includes $10 credit for calls and texts. It's a cost-effective way to keep your Galaxy Watch connected without breaking the bank².

    2. Optus: If you're considering the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Optus currently offers a bundle deal that includes a 40mm Galaxy Watch 6 (valued at $648). When you add a $10/month Watch plan, you'll get 1GB of data, allowing you to use internet-connected features on your watch without needing your phone nearby³.

    Remember to check the details and coverage in your specific area to choose the best plan for your needs! 📶🌐

    This one suggests Pay and Go Voda. You'd need to work out whether that advice is still valid.

    Supermarkets quite frequently have those sims on special.

      The free monthly Seeek sim worked for me but I can only make and receive calls over Bluetooth. What is this call over internet workaround you use? I find my watch practically never connects to 4g anyway.

        Wow, you actually managed to get one? I'm still on the waiting list.

    lol… and when you need it, the watch battery will die…. please dont

      I charge every night lol. And this is for quick Aldi trip or going for a run. Makes life easy. And my battery lasts all day easily with like 50% left in the tank.

        Hey I'd like to know if you've found the Remote Connection function to be effective? I've got a bluetooth Galaxy Watch7 but thinking I should've gone for the LTE after considering this.

    Kogan mobile - 120GB for 365 days for $120.

    They currently have a 2 for 1 deal for their 300GB and 500GB plans which are $270 and $300 respectively. (so you can get 2 500GB plans for $300 total - they last 365 days).

    Kogan are a Vodafone reseller and I've found them to be 1000% better than Optus.
