Setup Apple watch cellular for family members

Hi everyone,


Is it possible to setup 02 apple watches (for my kids, model SE 2022 GPS + Cellular, with 02 separated iCloud IDs and phone numbers) on my iPhone as family members with cellular enable? I successfully added the watches but cannot enable the cellular on each watch. If I use dedicated iPhone for each watch to pair as "for myself", the cellular can be enabled on the watch normally.

I appreciate any advice or instructions. Peace.

Set up Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support


Does your carrier support Family Setup?

Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple


And did you add the watches to your plan?

A cellular plan isn't required to set up an Apple Watch for a family member, but is necessary for some features.

Hi javaliga,


Thank you for your response. I did buy cellular plan for each phone number. I can add the watches to the plan and enable the cellular successfully if I pair the watch with iPhone independently (not the Family Setup).


I check the list you mentioned. My resident is in Vietnam, and I did not see the any carrier supports the Family Setup. Maybe that causes the failure.
