on the website and click on ‘Activate SIM now’.
- You’ll find the 5-digit code on the back of the SIM card (inside the booklet, bottom right).
- Once activation is complete, your SIM card will be activated within a few hours*.
*The provider only activates accounts on business days, from Monday to Friday.
If you bought your Anio 6 directly from Telekom and are on a Telekom contract, you’ll need to insert your SIM card not activate it yourself.
It will be activated automatically within a maximum of 2–3 hours after the contract is signed. You can then start using the watch straight away.
You can find the steps for correct activation
on the congstar website itself.
We’ll explain the individual steps and what you
need to select at each stage.
Please make sure you also carry out point 12.

To ensure that your watch and your congstar plan continue to work after 4 weeks, it is essential that you
activate the ‘Comfort Top-up’ service with congstar. This is the only way to ensure that there is always
sufficient credit on your congstar SIM card.

2. Deactivate the SIM card PIN
You can skip this step if you’re using the Anio 6 children’s
smartwatch with a SIM card
from Telekom, starmobile (Vodafone), congstar or yesss!
.
To ensure that your SIM card is recognised by the watch, the SIM
PIN
for the SIM card must be disabled.
To do this, first insert the SIM card intended for the Anio 6 children’s
smartwatch
into a smartphone.
On Android smartphones, you can disable the PIN by going to (from Android 9.0 onwards):
- Settings
- Safety & Location
- SIM card lock
- deactivate
These settings may vary depending on your smartphone.
On iOS (iPhone), you can disable the PIN as follows (information for iOS 12 and later):
- Settings
- Mobile communications
- SIM-PIN
- deactivate
3. Check your mailbox settings for the SOS function
When you make an SOS call, the watch will ring three contacts of
your choice
one after the other.
The Anio 6 will call the next contact after 13 seconds if
the call is not answered.
If the third contact does not answer either, the watch will
call the first stored number again.
As a rule, with most mobile phone providers, the voicemail
only kicks in after 15 seconds or later,
so that the forwarding of SOS calls works without any problems.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you check your personal voicemail
settings
and ensure
that it does not answer the call
after less than 13 seconds.
If your voicemail picks up more quickly, it might cut off the emergency
call
because
the system cannot distinguish between a real person and a voicemail
service.
4. Insert SIM Card
After activating the SIM card and possibly permanently deactivating the PIN query, you need to insert the SIM card into the turned-off Anio 6:
- Make sure the watch is turned off.
- Place the watch face down (the buttons should point to the left side)
- Insert the card tray opener into the slot under the strap holder on the top of the watch and open the SIM card tray. Remove the strap if necessary
- Place the SIM card with the gold contacts facing down into the SIM card tray.
- Slide the SIM card tray into the opening until it is completely closed.
5. Connect Anio 6 with the Anio Watch App
-
Install the Anio Watch App on your smartphone
-
Registration Code (Reg.Code):
You need this code when you want to connect your watch with the app. Tap on the battery symbol of the watch. A QR code and below it the 15-digit registration code will be displayed.
