Can I activate an Apple Watch Ultra without an iPhone on the same carrier?
I am trying to activate an Apple Watch Ultra ( Gen 1 ) on a standalone cellular plan. I have an iPhone someone gave me to use to set it up, but when I get to the " activate cellular " option, it is completely greyed out on the phone. I tried to set it up from another iPhone, but their phone was through Verizon and just went to the Verizon activation / log in when we got to it on there. The watch does absolutely nothing when it's not paired to my phone, but ask for an iPhone to be placed near it. When the watch is turned on and paired, under the cellular section it just says " No sim " and " No connection ". Is there any way around this?
( I am trying to activate it through t-mobile, but this customer service hasn't been any help )
