Swiss operator Sunrise said it has started to offer the children's smartwatch Xplora X5 Play with eSIM. It costs CHF 12.25 per month in combination with the We Connect subscription, instead of CHF 17.25 per month. The minimum contract term is 24 months.
The subscription provides unlimited calls and voice messages in Switzerland, unlimited data at up to 2 Mbps in Switzerland, and 200 MB and 30 call minutes for Europe. The smartwatch can also be purchased without a subscription for a one-off fee of CHF 175, or with a device plan with a deposit of CHF 1 and CHF 7.25 per month on a 24-month contract.
The Xplora watch enables children to make calls, send voice messages and text messages to up to 50 contacts chosen by their parents. It provides an SOS function in case of emergencies. Children hold the SOS button for several seconds to make an emergency call to two designated phone numbers. The watch has an embedded SIM as well as GPS to allow parents to track the whereabouts of their children on smartphones.
