Watch and Phone on different carriers....

Okay, so I have an iPhone X through ATT.... My mother-in-law bought me an Apple Watch Series 3 LTE through Verizon..... Is there any possibile way to use the LTE on my watch while still haveing my ATT sim in my phone?


There is a line on her account that the LTE Watch is associated with that’s also an iPhone 10, and my iPhone X is unlocked. They have a sim and when I put it in my phone it registers the watch to LTE but if I do this I have my ATT account and number that I get everything through.... See my issue here? :/

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 3.2.3

Hi


No, that is not possible. Different carriers cannot be used for your iPhone and Apple Watch.


Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) has a built-in eSIM that copies information from the iPhone's SIM card.


The built-in cellular features require a carrier plan for your iPhone that specifically includes support for your own, paired Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular), including your carrier activating the watch on the plan.
