This connected watch works on 4G, so it will continue to function normally, including the SOS function, after Swisscom shuts down its 3G network at the end of 2025.
Swisscom will switch off its 3G network at the end of 2025, but 4G-enabled devices, such as this watch, will remain operational because they use both 4G and 5G networks. The SOS function, which relies on mobile connectivity, will therefore continue to work with 4G.
This connected watch supports 4G technology with VoLTE, enabling you to make calls in high definition on a 4G network. If the watch is connected to a 4G network and the call is using VoLTE, an "HD" icon will appear on the screen. For the best experience, we recommend using an Xplora Connect subscription or a compatible provider, which includes operators such as Salt that support VoLTE.
No, WhatsApp is not available on the Xplora X6 Play or similar models such as the X6 Pro eSIM. However, messages can be sent and received via the Xplora app, including pictures, videos and voice messages.
