Re: Apple watch Series 4
Hi, I wrote the post in Sept 2018 about Rogers supporting the Apple Watch. Here we are 21 months later, with no offical update. Informally, I have heard that Videotron did not have the ability to support e-sims and they don't want to have watches permanently roam on Rogers network as it costs Videotron $$. However, that was some time ago, and they were, according to my source, working it. Videotron - can we get any update?12 kVues0like0CommentaireRe: Apple Watch Series 3 - ETA on availability
I went into a Videotron store and finally got a straight answer. I was told that Videotron’s native LTE network runs on a different frequency than most networks. The Apple Watch does not support that frequency in the current series 3 and 4 iteration. They believe the next series will support it, i.e.likely late 2019. Although Videotron “shares” some of the Rogers network, and, in theory, the Apple Watch could work on that network, Videotron’s working arrangement with Rogers does not allow for 100% reliability on the Rogers network. Per the employee, there are no plans to work the Rogers agreement. Buying a series 3 or 4 with LTE is a waste of the LTE adder if you are on Videotron per this employee. Strange though, when I check the Videotron frequencies and the watch supported frequencies..they seem to match. Go figure...17 kVues0like2CommentairesRe: Apple Watch Series 3 - ETA on availability
Vincent, Thnaks for the reply. Can we get more detail> Is the issue due to Videotron network sharing on Roger's network or related to the use of eSIMs? Roger's has stated it will suport teh Apple Watch at some point in 2018. https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/01/02/rogers-confirms-plans-support-esims-year/ thanks Mark19 kVues1like9Commentaires
