Hello KushwanthReddy,


Are both the watch and the iPhone on the same cellular plan? Start from the steps in this article:

Set up cellular on Apple Watch 


Before you start
Make sure that you have the latest software on your iPhone and your Apple Watch.
Check for updates to your carrier settings.
Make sure that you have an eligible cellular service plan with a supported carrier. Your iPhone and Apple Watch must use the same carrier,* and you must be within your carrier's network when you set up cellular on your watch.
If you have an enterprise or corporate cellular service plan, check with your company or carrier to see if they support this feature. Pre-paid accounts and some older accounts aren’t currently supported. To make sure that your account is eligible, contact your carrier.
* An Apple Watch that you set up for a family member can use a different carrier than your iPhone uses.

After verifying these steps have been completed, follow the additional steps in the article.





Best Regards.
