To use cellular you have to buy the cellular version of the watch,here is the differences between cellular and non cellular watches;

GPS only

Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS) lets you send and receive text messages, answer phone calls and receive notifications when it’s connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace and route mapping in workouts.


GPS + Cellular

Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) has all the same features, as well as built-in cellular. It gives you the freedom to send and receive text messages, answer phone calls, receive notifications, and stream Apple Music and Apple Podcasts — even when you don’t have your iPhone with you.


Not all carriers support the apple watch.These are the US carriers that support the cellular watch;


AT&T

Appalachian4

C Spire4

Sprint Wireless4

T-Mobile USA

US Cellular4

Verizon Wireless4

Xfinity4
