Apple Watch family setup Number sync

Purchased two watches for my kids a month ago at AT&T and I still am unable to activate cellular service. I was told it’s an IOS issue with number sync and although it’s been a month, there still isn’t a timeline as to when this will be fixed. Anyone have an update on a fix?

Doninpa, Found some other info that you may not have tried. Enable Wi-Fi Calling is the item that caught my eye.

  • Your mobile phone must be an iPhone 6 or newer running iOS 9.3 or later
  • You must enable Wi-Fi Calling on your iPhone first. For information on how to set up Wi-Fi Calling, visit the Wi-Fi Calling support page
  • Your smartphone and compatible Apple devices must share the same Apple ID
  • Your AT&T NumberSync device must have access to a broadband connection. This can be over Wi-Fi, wired broadband, or AT&T mobile broadband
  • For more about setting up AT&T NumberSync, please visit the AT&T NumberSync support page
