Apple Watch 6 cellular connection issue with Spectrum

Has anyone had problems connecting an Apple Watch 6 to Spectrum cellular service? I have an Iphone 11 Pro Max and I use the Watch App to try and set up the cellular service. I get to a second screen that asks for my username and password for my carrier (Spectrum). I type it in, and it always says that the information does not match. I have reset both phone and watch, reset network settings, unpaired and re-paired the watch, spent about 5 hours on the phone with Spectrum, 2.5 hours at a Spectrum store with the manager trying to figure it out. Manager at store even created a new password for me in case we were typing it in incorrectly. He removed the watch from my account and then added it again as well. I mentioned the SIM issue that Tmobile/Sprint users were having and said maybe that is the case with Spectrum/Verizon users, but was quickly shut down. Any thoughts?

Hello JessyJets5,


Was the carrier able to escalate the issue on their end? If not, you may wish to reach out to them again to work on that process.


Additionally be sure to check for any iOS and watchOS updates on the companion iPhone and Apple Watch. For reference the latest versions for each are iOS 16.2 and watchOS 9.2:


Update your iPhone or iPad

Update your Apple Watch


If you continue to have issues and the carrier has escalated without a resolution, you may reach out to Apple Support here for further guidance: Apple Support


Cheers.
