Did you set up the Apple Watch, using Family Sharing?

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.

No sim on cellular Apple Watch? Hey there. I have a Apple Watch SE with acellular plan ( yes red ring on crown). I am trying to connect it to my iPhone XS. that DOES NOT have a cell plan. And I keep seeing a No Sim in the cellular setup. If I connect it to my wife’s iPhone with a cell plan it works fine. Any ideas what is up. Using Verizon. Have the account showing the two plans.

If you followed the steps in the blue linked article from above, does your carrier support Family Setup, as mentioned under section #7?
