Receiving calls on the Redmi Watch 5 Active while traveling abroad is possible, but it depends on several factors:
1. Bluetooth Connectivity: The Redmi Watch 5 Active supports Bluetooth connectivity, which allows you to make and receive calls when connected to your smartphone. This means you can use the watch to answer calls as long as your smartphone is nearby and connected via Bluetooth[4][5].
2. International Roaming: For your smartphone to receive calls abroad, you need to have international roaming enabled on your phone plan. This typically requires a roaming package from your telecom provider, which may incur additional charges[3].
3. Local Network Selection: If your roaming isn't working, you might need to manually select a local network in the country you're visiting. This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues[2].
4. Watch Limitations: The Redmi Watch 5 Active does not support voice calls from third-party apps, so you can only receive calls through the native phone app on your connected smartphone[10].
To ensure you can receive calls on your Redmi Watch 5 Active while abroad:
- Enable International Roaming: Make sure your phone plan includes international roaming and that it is enabled on your device.
- Connect to Local Networks: If necessary, manually select a local network in the settings to ensure connectivity.
- Keep Your Smartphone Nearby: Since the watch relies on Bluetooth connectivity to your smartphone, keep your phone close to receive calls.
Overall, as long as your smartphone has a working connection and is paired with the Redmi Watch 5 Active, you should be able to receive calls on the watch while traveling abroad.
