FIX 2: Add a new line of service
If your carrier is part of the above list but you are still not able to use LTE/4G on your Pixel Watch, then you should get in touch with your carrier and ask them to carry out the following steps:
- To begin with, ask them to “add a new line of service” for your watch via “customer-provided equipment”
- They will now ask for the watch’s IMEI number. So open the dialer, type in *#06#, and tell them the IMEI number.
- They will now get a prompt on whether or not they should enable “number share”, tell them to select “Yes”.
- They will then add the carrier-based plan and complete your order. Once done, you should then try the activation through the Pixel Watch app.
- So tap on Mobile Network and you should now get a prompt that the eSIM is being downloaded [it might take a couple of minutes].
- As soon as the eSIM gets downloaded, your Pixel Watch will be activated!
