Hi
To set up the built-in cellular feature on Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular), you need a service plan from your iPhone that includes support for the watch, including the carrier activating the watch on the service plan.
Supported carriers are detailed here:
Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple
Follow the instructions here to set up the built-in cellular feature:
- Set up and use cellular on Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) - Apple Support
- Use Apple Watch with a cellular network—Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) only
If you still need help, then I suggest that you contact your carrier in the first instance.
If the issue persists, then, depending on your carrier's advice, I suggest that you next contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available, if required), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider for assistance:
