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?

Hi @ComcastChrisL 

 

I am having the exact issue. I have gone through the steps to activate my Apple Watch Series 5 and it says "Unable to Configure Celluar Plan"

 

Apple Watch says: No Sim

Apple Watch App: ICCID is blank

 

Please contact me if you have a solution it would be greatly appreciated, hoping you can help!

You will have to message Comcast Chris and it needs to be from a browser on your computer because the blue message box will not pop up. He usually responds in 24-48 hours so please be patient.

I'm running into the same issue as all of you.  I cannot get past step 1 and the "sorry, we have run into technical difficulties".

 

Hoping @ComcastChrisL can help.

 

Spent about two hours on a chat with CS.  Not luck getting the AW series 5 activated.

I am having the same issue.  I let it sit overnight and it is still not working.

The account says that it isn't paired with my phone.  I have paired, unpaired, re-paired, talked to customer service.  Nothing seems to work.  I have spent over 5 hours trying to get this watch to work on the cellular network.

 

I will be taking it back to the store today to try to get some in person assistance.  The customer service line is painful with all of the stuff you have to go through just to talk to someone other than a computer.

 

Highly disatified today.

Hello everyone,

 

Just a reminder, after your initial post on the forum, you should then be able to see the blue 'send-a-message' button on other users profile pages.  Click on my name ComcastChrisL and it'll take you to mine, and from there you can reach out via private message.

 

In your private reply, please include first and last name, complete service address, mobile number, and the last 4 digits of the card on file.  Finally, remember to add the IMEI# for the watch in question.  Thanks again for everyone's time, patience, and support!

 

Sincerely,

 

Chris

Well, I've got some great news.  Over the weekend, I broke my watch.  Apple replaced it under AppleCare.

 

The new watch activated just fine.

 

As a side note:  the broke watch was a T-Mo watch that had been activated on T-Mo's network.
