I can't connect my Apple Watch 5 to my data plan

Can anyone please help???

I have recently purchased my Apple Watch series 5 from Vodafone and when i purchased it Vodafone said i was able to link my current data plan with the watch.

No matter how I try and how many different people I speak to at Vodafone no one can help.

I think I should realise that this is not an easy fix when Vodafone technical department can't even fix the problem.

No one at Vodafone seems to know how to correct error code 2005.

I have swapped my sim and updated the EID and have been assured that this would resolve the issue, but the problem hasn't disappeard.

Unfortunately judging by the recent posts on the forum your not alone with this.

 

I can only advise to persevere with customer service or the Vodafone Social Media Teams via Contact-us-for-account-specific-queries. 

 

There isn't account access assistance via the Vodafone forum @DigitalAJD

I've had my series 5 watch which I bought directly from Vodafone on subscription for a week now and they still haven't been able to connect it to cellular data! I've been on the phone every day and they just say "it will be done in 24 hours" guess what? It never is! I've just spoke to to them again as they have said they've processed a new connection order and I've said they have until 4pm to sort it or I'm returning the watch! 
they really don't have a clue what to do!

I'm also unable to connect a series 3 watch to my existing pay monthly plan. Within the Watch app, Vodafone is appearing, but it just says "waiting". Been like that for more than 24 hours now.

Hello, I have the same problem. I have an iPhone X and have bought an Apple Watch series 5. I have called Vodafone who have assured me it will be fixed. But it hasn't. Please arrange for this to be fixed immediately. Thanks.
