hi y’all so I’ve heard you can do cellular monthly payment for the Apple Watch. I was wondering if I choose T-Mobile, will I need to have an activated data plan or phone plan with them?

I would like the stainless steel Apple Watch but I’m perfectly happy with my cricket Wireless and my unlocked XS max
 
Unless something's changed, there are no prepaid apple watch plans. You have to attach the watch to a postpaid account.
[doublepost=1568227388][/doublepost]Also that's an area where T-Mobile shines, the apple watch add-on is a flat $10 per month.

Not $15 plus nearly $5 in bullsht fees & taxes like AT&T does.

So that’s $10 plus the installment for the watch?

I'd think so but I've always bought my apple watches outright from Apple.

The cell service part is a flat $10 though with all fees and taxes included. Technically it's $15 with a $5 autopay discount so don't get flustered if you see a $15 figure during setup.

As for buying the watch on installment from a cell provided, you'll need to have a postpaid phone plan with them. May be better off finding a different way to finance your watch if you can't buy it outright.

Ya it’s seems like cellular companies are not a good path.
