Tips for Choosing a Kids' Watch SIM Plan

  1. Check the data allowance: KidsOclock Watches usually use under 1 GB per month for GPS and occasional messages. A plan between 0.25–1 GB is often sufficient.
  2. Call and text inclusions: Make sure your plan allows your child to call or text when needed. Some prepaid plans have limited minutes.
  3. Network coverage: GPS tracking only works if the SIM has reliable coverage. Always check coverage in your child's usual locations.
  4. Rollover and expiry: Some prepaid plans let unused data roll over to the next month, which is great for light watch users.
  5. Budget-friendly options: Plans under NZ$20 are possible, but unlimited calls with low data may be harder to find. The Skinny Prepaid plan is a great compromise.
