Apple watch stuck on provisioning/deprovisioning ( Series 4 GPS+cellular a2008)

Finally got sorted ... explained Airtel customer care about the problem.. spoke with a supervisor.. they said a call back will be done by Airtel technical team .. technical team did not call back .. so raised the issue again with customer care senior executive (this can be done by calling Airtel and asking to talk to the supervisor) ... post which got an email from 121 that iwatch has been de linked ... after a day or so you get a message that it has been activated ... upon trying again it was resolved ..

Please contact cellular(Airtel/ Jio) outlet Store manager to talk to backend team de-activate apple watch on your Airtel /Jio number, then you should receive a confirmation message from Airtel/jio stating that deactivated apple watch. After that you can inform the same to store manager to activate the apple watch services on your mobile number.

finally you would receive confirmation message from operator: Apple watch has been paired with the iPhone device.

Please contact Cellular operator Airtel or Jio currently who supports in india to deactivate data plan +device and re-activate the same. You can try to activate mobile data plan from iphone (watch app) and use your login credentials to activate this data plan. It will work for sure.

I don't think unpair/pair will resolve the issue as it did not resolve mine.

I was told by the back end team that the issue is with my specific number. I'm not too sure what the back end team did to resolve my issue.

I'm sorry I couldn't provide enough details but I guarantee that the back end team will be able to resolve this issue.

Airtel is the only one that can fix your problem. Seem the carrier is having a problem

Guys....my issue is fixed.

Please try to get in touch with the Airtel back end team. They will be able to fix this issue.

I too face the same issue on my series 4 watch in Airtel Bangalore network and following up with the support team for more than 2 weeks now. Surprisingly, my friend who took a series 3 watch did not face the issue. ( on Airtel network)

Does any one know of how the series 4 watch work in Jio network?

Hi , Do you know and could you share some details of how the back end team resolved your issue? I ask this because I visited three Airtel showrooms in Bangalore and each of them promptly placed a service request and asked me to unpair/ pair my watch but the the issue remains the same. So, if you know of any info about the resolution for your issue, I would like to pass it on to the Airtel team

same issue with airtel mumbai struggling last 24 hours with the provisioning de provisioning error message to activate cellular on i watch 4 series. have been asked to re set my watch atleast 4 times with 4 different customer care handlers !!!! no solution yet.

same problem but still didn't get any solution from airtel . they reset some component from back end and telling me to re-pair watch , when i start re-pairing on mobile data its asking me enter username password then takes me to success screen and when i close that dialog its stuck on activating.

Did they finally help you or not because same problem i had after their solutions it kept sayin “activating” and then again provisioning/deprovisioning

please let me know if ur issue is resolved or not

Same issue.. calling Airtel help again and again... just received a message from them saying we have activated apple watch on your airtel mobile.. but in reality when I login it says proceed to disconnect your iwatch.. have gotten rid of the provisioning page, but not completely solved the problem.. any suggestions? should i wait for 24 hours ? repair watch?

Same problem. Still got no solution from Airtel.

Did anyone find the solution. I’m struggling since past 9 days with Airtel Customer Care and have not found a solution. Don’t think they even know what to do.

I'm also facing the same problem in Mumbai, India with Airtel. No resolution yet.
