Like so many others here, I purchased an unlocked cellular Apple Watch SE series 2 directly from Apple two weeks ago. The watch paired flawlessly to my phone, but I can't get cellular to activate. I walk through the steps, sign in to my visible account, get the notice that it will be $5 per month and click add/activate and get "something went wrong".
I spent hours with customers no-service the weekend before last and again last weekend. Both times it was the same spiel, update watch, update phone, delete reinstall visible app, unpair watch/repair watch to phone, send them photos of the error screen (as if it says anything of use) rinse repeat. Both times tey promised to escalate my case but I have not heard anything.
Today is my last day to return/exchange the apple watch before it is mine to keep. I am 99.999% sure it's a visible issue based on other threads here. I am tempted to exchange the watch just to see, but that might further confuse visible.
Has anyone found the magic words to say to Visible chat to get the watch activated?

Did you ever get this issue resolved? Visible is FINALLY supporting the Galaxy Watch (8 and Ultra), so I upgraded to a Watch 8 Classic from my Watch 5 Pro. I paired my watch to my phone, everything worked flawlessly up until I try to "Activate my mobile plan" and I get the dreaded "Something went wrong."

I did, but I don't remember how.. lots of calls, lots of promses, and finally got a tech that said they needed to change something - wait 48 hours and have me try again and it worked... no idea what they changed though. Hands down the worst C/S experience I've ever had, but it's worked fine since activated.
