Hi - I have Apple Watch 9 supporting cellular+gps, and iPhone 11. My mobile account is with Three. I am trying to set up the watch to use cellular. The Apple User Guide says open the Apple Watch App, select My Watch, and then choose the Cellular option. However for some reason I don't have a Cellular option. Why do I do to resolve this?
Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 10
Hi Dah-veed.
Yes, Three supports Apple Watch cellular.
There is definitely a glitch in the iPhone/Apple Watch. I actually set up the watch and linked it to the iPhone a few days ago without the cellular option. So when I tried to add cellular today (which should have been possible), I was prevented because the add cellular option wasn't available.
So I have got around the problem by removing the Watch from the iPhone, and commencing the set up again as if it were new, but this time set up cellular at the same time. This worked.
So my problem is solved, but I had to use a work-around because there is a problem in the Apple software.

Does Three support the Watch? If your cellular provider doesn't support the watch, you can't add it to your iPhone's cellular account.

Can anyone help??? I really need an answer!
Thanks
It may not be a problem, just that it wasn't designed to be setup in the manner that you were trying to use it.
I'm glad that you sorted it out!
