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???

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.
