Add plan from different carrier to apple watch?

I just gifted my SO an apple watch with a verizon watch data plan. My SO's iPhone has a data plan from at&t. Is it possible to use the plan I bought for the apple watch even though it's a different carrier than the iphone?

Your iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same network provider, and you must be within your provider’s network when you set up mobile on your watch. - taken from the article below.

If the Watch is set up as a family member's watch under your iphone then they can be a different provider.

In the following the words mobile and cellular mean the same
