Unable to configure Data plan-iWatch series 4

All of sudden Mobile Data disconnected/removed. i have tried to contact Airtel to report this issue and Airtel failed to resolve this issue. It was working properly before 5 days back and i noticed " Watch " App is asking me to "Set up Mobile Data" . I have asked Airtel to deactivate services related to Data plan and activate the same back.


They haven't resolved this issue till now.. (11.3.2019) Any Leads

You will need airtel to remove your faulty watch’s configurations from its server in your profile. It might have got created due to their bug or your mistakes while configuring.


Dont worry. Call 121, ask for technical help from Apple Watch team for watch’s cellular setup. They will have you do below steps.


  1. Unpair your Watch from iPhone.
  2. restart iPhone and Apple Watch both.
  3. After you have done above two, airtel tech support will remove the faulty watch configuration from your profile an their end.
  4. You can then pair again by using ‘setup as new Watch’. Don’t restore from backup if any.

It is related to Technical issue, AirTel itself confirmed that they are unable identify this issue. It was working absolutely with Jio Network. I had to PORT this number because of Intl Romaing issue with Jio , unless i did not face iWatch mobile data issue with Jio Network.


AirTel team is working on to resolve this issue since last 5 days.....

can you please share email address of Appellate team, so that I can escalate my issue.

I am getting the same error “Unable to configure data plan” while trying to set up for using cellular feature on my Apple Watch 4 with Airtel network.

I am contacting Airtel support since last 4-5 days but haven’t got a resolution yet.

Mobile data is not connecting at all right from day 1. Am tired of following up with Airtel Customer care for the last 2 days. Might have spoken to them some 20 times now (I call, they call, visited 2 stores!!!). They even made me change my plan (from one infinity to another... huff...) - did that too... but to no avail. The message has always been the same - "Your AirTel account is not eligible to enable mobile data on your Apple Watch. Contact AirTel for more information."

Whenever I speak to them, I always start at pairing the watch to the phone... nothing after that.

Will now write to the appellate as suggested by some members... will give it a try too... hope it works... and soon.

Hi. Yes my apple watch is update to ver 6.1. As per the callback received from Airtel support team I re-paired my watch and did get the welcome prompt message during the setup process. But after the setup was completed it still doesn't work. When I go to watch app in Mobile Data, I am getting 'Activating' message and nothing happens after that. It keeps on saying 'Activating'


I again wrote to Airtel team and they are now saying that it has been escalated and concern team is working on it. I am losing my patience now.


Here are the devices list showing in airtel myaccount.
