Activation Fee for upgrading to Series 4 LTE

[hubieonekanubie]

I just had a chat with Verizon and was told by the online rep that any new device comes with an activation fee. I’m guessing that will be another thing to consider if upgrading to the new series 4 from a Series 3 LTE. Anyone heard anything else? If I recall last year when it was introduced, the fee was waived and we got 3 months free.

If you already have a watch on LTE service you should not have an activation fee. You simply will replace the cellular service of the old watch with the new watch. The esim allows this. I've been doing this the past few months between 2 LTE Apple Watches. It uses the same Numbersync line to your phone.

SInce you mentioned NumberSync I'm assuming you are on AT&T? How do you transfer the watch's line between different LTE watches? Just do it on the watch app or do you need to contact AT&T?

You replace the watch that has active cellular service with the new watch you wish to take its place. You verify your account via AT&T and then in a matter of seconds your cellular should be active. Meanwhile, cellular option is not active on your other watch. This is all done within the Apple Watch app.

How do you verify the account via ATT on the app?

Just log in to your AT&T account and verify phone number and address.

Thanks.
Andi if you don't mind....

When you unpair the old watch do you choose to remove the cellular plan from it?
And
when you pair the new watch you restore from the backup of the old watch?
And if when you pair the new watch does it ask you if you want to add the cell plan to it?
And along the way it will ask for your ATT phone number and address to verify the account?
