iPhone plan and Apple Watch(with cellular) plan are from different carriers. Can I still pair the watch as family member?

My iPhone carrier doesn’t provide service for Apple Watch. I want to set up Apple Watch with its own line from Verizon. And, pair it with my iPhone as family member. Can somebody confirm this is possible. Thanks

iPhone 12, iOS 14

An apple watch must share the same network provider as the phone.
