My new Apple Watch will not connect to my cellular plan

Why when I go to my carrier I can and try to attach my child's watch to the cellular plan that I established for it, it is saying No SIM?

I have a cellular plan for my Apple Watch but the cellular icon on my watch indicates no SIM. What went wrong? My wife added her AT&T plan to her Apple Watch….yet her watch indicates no SIM. Not sure what that means. It shows AT&T plan on her phone not active yet it lists it there.

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.

Cellular on Apple Watch stopped working I have a Series 4 Apple Watch with SIM card paired with iPhone 6s with no SIM card. Service has been with AT&T - paying monthly charge for the Apple Watch. This configuration is for my father. This configuration has worked and even called 911 2x on his behalf. The Apple Watch Settings now shows, "No SIM" - the Apple Watch app Cellular Setup on the iPhone is grayed out and not accessible. AT&T says we need to pay for a cellular service for my fathers iPhone for his watch to work? Has something changed - version support?
