Apple Watch LTE with Business Account.

Hi

If you would like to send feedback or suggestions to Apple, then you can do so here:

Feedback - Apple Watch - Apple

(You are not talking to Apple here - this is a user-based technical support community).

Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) requires a carrier plan for your iPhone that also specifically includes support for Apple Watch.

It neither requires nor supports a separate cellular service plan.

Went all the way to Apple store to get my watch. No support for business accounts even if you have a personal account as well. TOTAL MISS by Apple. Very aggravating and they lost a customer over this. But Apple doesn’t care, they have plenty of money. Waste of time even complaining or posting this.

You do realize that the watch has to pair with the phone in question, then it copies the SIM information from the phone, and the cellular account has to support the watch, and there is a charge. Since the business phone account is not owned by you, nor do you have the option to make changes to it, then there is no way for Apple to activate it. Again, this is a carrier issue, and you would need to take it up with them. If you have a personal account, then you can always pair your watch to your personal phone if you have one.

Same problem here.

I own the business and these are my phones. I am sure it is just a call to Verizon Business department, just frustrating that I have to wait until Monday.

The biggest problem I am seeing, is when the Watch App is asking me to log into my Verizon account, it assumes it is my cell number and I cannot edit with my actual account.

I will post info after I talk to Verizon on Monday.

I had this problem and my company administrator solved it. I now have my Apple Watch series 3 with LTE connected to my company-managed account using NumberSync. It's non-obvious and involved a phone call. In the end I had to use the Watch app and register a new account with my phone number. It just sort of activated after that.

Hope that helps.

With those that are figuring out how to do this, what actually happens on the Watch? Admin supposedly has added Watch info to account, but when I select "Set up Cellular" in Watch App, it still jumps to the myAT&T login, which I cannot use. Trying to figure out if this is a timing thing or what the trick is to get past this step.

So when your admin did this, does it allow you to pay the fee personally or is it being charged to the business?

Your employer may wish to raise the matter with AT&T, to ask whether they plan to support the feature for business plans.

How is this a total miss by Apple? It is AT&T (in the case of the OP) that decides whether to offer an Apple Watch plan on a business account.

All good. I called Verizon from my iPhone (dialing 611). You will need you account password, IMIE of the match and cell phone you want to pair.

All good now!
