Apple Watch & Iphone Carriers

Would there be any issues between having an apple watch series 5 through Sprint and an iphone through at&t? The watch should drag every information from my iphone onto the watch without any issues, correct? Or do they both need to be through the same carrier?

Apple Watch, watchOS 4

The Cellular Apple Watch shares the iPhone's phone number.  This requires the iPhone cellular carrier to support the Apple Watch.  The iPhone carrier charges a monthly fee for this service.  In the U.S. the fee is $10 per month added to your iPhone bill.


You will need an iPhone 6s, SE (1 or 2), 7 or newer, running iOS 13 or newer.
