Has anyone had trouble activating cellular to an apple watch when the service is/was sprint and purchased a new watch and its t-mobile?

I've had Sprint for years, the recently merged with t-mobile not that long ago and i purchased my first apple watch. We are not able to connect the cellular to the watch and were not sure why. it stays stuck at the 911 registration activation. Does anyone know how to fix this?

New apple watch set up by provider not able to connect cellular I’ve reset both my phone and watch and fully updated the software. Had the EID number manually put into the watch by my provider but mine will not show that there is a sim, it says no ICCD or no SIM card with no provider. Because of this I am unable to connect to a cellular that is connected to my account. My provider have no idea what they are doing either and cannot understand what is going on. If you have figured out how to fix this issue please reply back it would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Issue activating cellular on Apple Watch SE with AT Just bought a new Apple Watch SE for my kiddo who has no phone. Trying to activate cellular with AT&T and keep getting an error message EDS4100 (deleted or missing e-SIM). AT&T is “working on it” but they said this issue has been happening since early December?! Anyone have any suggestions?

The carrier must be the same on iPhone and Watch. If you’re having issues with cellular, check with the carrier. I had issues with Watch with the carrier I was using at the time, and that was due to the particular cellular plan. That all got reloaded and switched over to a new plan, and all started working.
