How to hook up Apple Watch 4 to ATT prepaid cellular account?

So I have a series 4 watch and want to add a plan to my already existing ATT prepaid account. I refuse to transfer to a contract ATT account since the same amount of data I get with prepaid account at $40/month would cost me $70/month after tax. Why would anyone pay twice as much for the same speed and amount of data?!! So Apple how do I get my Apple Watch 4 hook up to my att prepaid account?? I paid extra for the cellular version and I can’t even use it? Please fix this. Not cool. I should be able to add the $10/month watch cellular to my pre-paid account. But it looks like I need to pay twice as much for same service plus the watch $10 which would then cost me $80/month to use my watch. So really it will cost me $40/month just because I want to use my watch??? Apple better fix this fast. Or I want my money back for what I paid extra for the cellular version on my watch. ;( not happy about this. And I can’t be the only one.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

That's a specific issue with AT&T not Apple. There's nothing for Apple to fix.


If AT&T requires you to have a monthly post paid plan to activate the watch on, then how is Apple at fault? They cannot force AT&T to let you activate it on a Pre-paid sim. Apple cannot control how the carriers offer the watch support.


Contact AT&T and complain to them. Or Change carriers to one who may allow that to happen.
