connect apple watch series 11 to verizon cellular

After hours on Verizon support and a visit to the store, an agent finally figured out that Verizon software will not allow Apple Watches series 11 to connect to their cellular network. They are finally spreading the word but it is too late for the many who called and spent hours trying to connect.

OMG! I spent 5 hours at the Verizon corporate store on Saturday trying to get the 11 to work. Spent two hours on the phone with Verizon support that night. Spent another two hours on the phone with support yesterday and 3 more hours at the store again trying a different watch. Walked away with NO watch, not even my trade!


Was told by support that the watch had been connected to another account that owed money (watch was brand new). Was told by Apple support that Verizon has not been authorized to sell the 11 yet!
