Apple Watch 5 Series Cellular Activation

I have had nothing but issues and poor customer service since signing up for Xfinity Mobile.  I thought finally I was to the point where I have no need to contact them again for anything, but not the case.  I have been back and forth with multiple reps trying have an Apple Watch added to my account.  I have been to multiple physical stores, spoken with countless telephone reps, and the result is always the same, nothing.  Can anyone help with this?

Yesterday, after over a week of delay with about 10 wasted hours spent on the phone, someone finally called me and activated the watch manually. Apparently, Comcast has not been able to activate any series 6 watches through the normal process and is calling people one by one. I have no idea why they couldn't simply have told me that and saved so much time and aggravation for me and many other customers. Downright sadistic!

@ComcastChrisL I just recently moved from AT&T to Xfinity Moblie and am having the same issue with activating the cellular on my apple watch series 5. I keep getting "sorry we are having technical difficulties, please try again." I've spent most of the day on the phone with tech support and they have not been able to fix it. I looked on your profile page but could not find a blue send message button. Hopefully you see this! Thank you!

Replying so I can pm @ComcastChrisL I have a Apple Watch series 6 that I can not get activated and was bounced around for over an hour trying to get it activated.

After over a month @ComcastChris was finally able to activate my Apple Watch series 6 manually and it finally works!! I never thought I’d see the day. Hang in there! It is possible.

I have the exact same issue as OP. 2 Apple Watches paired to 2 iPhones (different) and if the phone is off we get dead air/call failed. Spent hours w/ Apple & Xfinity Mobile (Tier 2). Tried to unpair/pair watch/phone. Deactivated mobile plan etc. Nothing is working.

Also have a co-worker who assumed everything was working correctly, but was able to reproduce the problem with his devices as well.
