Help! Shut off LTE and now I'm not receiving my messages!

[gthorson]

Help! Because I wasn't using my LTE service on my Apple Watch Series 3, I called AT&T to shut off the LTE service and its corresponding monthly fee. But now my watch is not notifying me when I receive texts. If I click on the Messages icon, it displays them, but I don't receive the haptic signal or notifications of them any more.

Any suggestions?

You can try re-pairing the watch.

Did you try a force start of your watch: Press Digital Crown and side button at the same time until watch restarts? This along with the basic: Did you power cycle your watch at a minimum?

Repairing is only suggested after you try the first two options since it takes so long to complete.

Note: Removing the LTE plan on a remote system really has no direct impact on your watch.

I tried all the suggestions above, and now the watch is receiving the message notifications.
