Hi there
I purchased a new Apple Watch Cellular with data plan from O2 last week and it came Friday morning.
I don't seem to be able to get the Cellular data working on the watch. I've activated the plan, but it's just stuck on 'Activating'.
I called 202 over the weekend and factory reset the watch (and they said they reset everything at their end) and tried to re-set it up, but it's still activating.
Spoke to somebody on chat who said they would raise a ticket, but that it will take days... I'm ready to just send the thing back - does anyone have any suggestions?
(Visual Voicemail and WiFi calling are activated and phone and watch are up to date with the latest software version.)
Many thanks

I am not holding my breath. O2 obviously have a major known about issue here with so many people experiencing problems and they won’t acknowledge that or do anything about
Or a mobike supplier's OTA bug fix has broken a few other things unintentionally - is the wait because Apple are in the loop, @12344?

I have the same issue, it's been sat as 'activating' since last Thursday. I spoke to someone on Saturday and they said it would take up to 5 days for someone to contact me.

Still waiting for a response to the incident raised. Spoke to CS today and said day 5 is tomorrow so should hear something then, not massively hopeful, it’s been 2 weeks since I tried to activate it! My 14 day cooling off period is up tomorrow, but the advisor said he would make a note and I would still be able to cancel after that if not resolved as there had been an escalation.
crazy how many are experiencing this!

Let's see if @O2Georgina can shed any light on what's going on with your watch @SkyJawa
Can you see if you can get this one working please Georgina?
