I have Apple Watch series 3 A1861 that has cellular. Can it be set up with its own phone number not connected to a phone with my carrier AT&T???
Thanks
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
The SE also needs an iPhone for pairing, but if using the Family Setup option (not supported on the Series 3), it can get its own number, though certain features are then disabled to not have the data merged with the iPhone used for setup.
See here: link-> Set up an Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support
So it’s different then the SE which doesn’t need to be paired with a phone???
No,it has to be paired with an iphone as it uses the phones number through an Esim in the watch.
ANY apple watch needs to be paired to an iphone.
Can Apple Watch series 3 A1861 that has cellular be independent with own phone number??
