Apple Watch not connecting to cellular

Now that Sprint/T-Mobile is sending out new T-Mobile Sim cards to their Sprint customers, is anyone else having a problem connecting their watch to the T-Mobile cellular? I've done all the resets, un-pairing/pairing I can stand for hours on support calls with Sprint.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5

Can't connect Apple Watch to cellular after reset I have contacted AT&T about this issue but they have no resolution.. I had to reset a watch after too many password attempts. This watch is set up for a family member so it is paired to my iPhone but has it's own phone number. The pairing works after the reset with the exception of the cellular setup. When it connects to the carrier it shows that there are no lines available. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Apple Watch 9 does not connect to Verizon Cellular I am unable to connect my brand new Apple Watch 9 to Verizon cellular via the app. I contacted Verizon and they were unable to connect my Watch to the network. They are currently working on it. Has anybody had the same issue? How did you fix it?

Solved. Go to a T-Mobile store and ask them to re-provision an eSim (ICCID) for you. Sprint can't do it, no matter how many times they try.
